Hi Minnie
i will come back to you i need to restart the computer as i am having trouble but i will be back

Hi Minnie,
I am told that Charlotte Durrell 27 was a Dau in law to William and his wife was Mary (Mills)who could have been married to George Durrell.I would like to get a deffinate yes or no on this one.The George Durrell that comes up in 1861 is the wrong one.I just dont know whats happened here.
Could you take a look at my tree.
Kindest regards
Glenn

You mean Mary was married to Mr Durrell before Mr Mills, so she was Charlotte Durrell really? Mr Mills step daughter?

Durrell Charlotte Elizabeth Portsea 2b 401
Births Jun 1853

Hi Minnie,
So i believe,and this is in the 1881 census,but for me it doesnt add up,i just cant find anymore on my George who is my gt gt grandfarther and adding to this i am told because Charlotte married a sailor,George left everything to go to the said said children which means he must have been alive in 1880`s because Charlotte married in c1887 a Richard Bunday.

I am very pleased with your help on this.
Kindest regards
Glenn.
Catch you later ,got to go to work.

Yes I have to go to work now too
Point out George Durrell in the 1881 for me , will you.

Hi Glenn,

Hope you are still looking for details of William Rather, if you are then I may have some information on his daughter Lizzie Rather.
