My Mother in Law is Margaret Dawkins, I've got lots on this family tree. She is one of the Dawkins from 245 Church Road, Yardley. (The Newsagents) Lorenzo Albert Dawkins who married Sarah Tierney had a son Albert Edgar (married Nellie Marjorie Butler), these are Marg's parents.

That was the newsagent at corner of Church Road and Newport Road, I knew it well, he later sold out to Kenyon and Harrison who I delivered papers for.

Margaret Benson is your mother inlaw? She is my grandpa's cousin. I have had a few letters from her with some photos and such. How is she?

Thanks Sam
 
Margaret is actually my step mother-in-law! She was married to my husband's father. as we live in Cambridge we only see here every month or so, but will be visiting next week. I'll let her know that we have made contact.
