Hi Katrina,

No don't post another thread. If you are looking for connected people keep it on one tread, that way we know what's already been found - and know what to look for rather than duplicate research.

Sorry if I sounded snappy, but it is frustrating to find the info found has already been provided.

So sorry! My apologies I am new to this and still trying to find out what should be done. Should I post a different item for each person?

Thanks Prickly, think I'll do the same as you and give this a wide birth - don't you just love wasting time on finding that already found.

Katrina, what is the point in doing multiple posts? - we are only going to find that already found by others, and waste our time in doing so. It's also against the T&Cs on GR.

If this is Keith's birth, then it looks like they only returned to UK for a visit - this is him going back to Canada following the visit:

Hi there, I am trying to find out where and when Keith and Margaret died and also if they, and William also, have any descendants. I live in Scotland and dont really have much access to information in England. Would be thankful for any help, and thank you for all the details you have found so far.
