Find Ancestors

My grandfather was born in Plaistow about 1901 he lived in Margate and married Lilian solley in 1922 he Sadley drowned in Hammersmith lido when he was about 33. Does anyone share my ancestor?

Someone isn't likely to come along and say yes we are connected I,m afraid

Try looking in members trees ti see if he or his family are in anyone s tree. You can then try and make contact by clicking on the find out more box

Thank you I'll give it a try

May help to know his second name ,and he name is spelt a little differently
