Member Since: October 2003 Posts: 16 Send Message	I'm wondering if anyone knows of a connection between the following: John Fortnum b 1819 Bledlow Bucks son of Thomas Fortnum b 1794 and Mary Prentice; and Thomas Edward Fortnam b 1864 Chinnor, Oxon m Emily Gibbs (b 1872) in Bradford, Yorks in 1894. I am curious to know if there is a connection because Mary's brother married Rebecca Gibbs d of William Gibbs and Martha Walker. Emily Gibbs is a ggdaughter of William and Martha. Any information would be welcome, thanks.
