Hi Thanks all, much appreciated, especially the census information, that's fantastic. I'd forgotten 'how and what' I should be posting, so apologies.

Eva


your chance of someone knowing about this lady just happening by this post is almost infinitesmal!



I once worked out that something like less than 1% of GR members knew about the Boards


Plus, many of the members are free members, and so could not send you a message or post on here even if they stumble on the message.



GR works by you searching member trees yourself.



Go to Search at the top of your screen

Click on Search


then click on Search Member Trees


If you do get a positive result ................... click on the tree owner's name, and send your message via pm



but please enter the name correctly in the Search Trees ............... I doubt that it will have been entered in the format that you used in your title.

Researching:
My brother, photo taken in September 1991 just a couple of weeks before he died. ............................................................ To help us and to get better results, please post as much detail as you can, especially name, date(s) and place. Also say what you already know.

You must surely know more than just her name.

How did you get back to her please?

Is that her birth name or married name please?

Where did she live?

I don't understand. Is that all one person's name?

What do you know about her?

What are you looking for?

Researching:
Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)
