    Amy Russell New Oscott Burial

    Hello Thank you again for helping. I've spoken to family and they seem to think there was a convent (St Mary's?) on Chester Rd. They know that's where my nan, Amy's daughter went to school and so wonder if it's possible that it's where Amy would attend church.

    Robert Scott Milton Street Newtown

    Hi, I'm tracing my family tree and have come across a Robert Scott and his wife Elizabeth (3x great grandparents).
