Hi Maddie

Thanks for the extra info. Its all adding meat to the bones and producing a bigger picture of the family.

These people were the birth ancestors of my friend who was adopted as a baby. Martin Shiphan Munroe was her Great Grandfather.

Thanks to Prickly Holly, for example, I have just found the sad story of my friend's aunt. The aunt, a nurse, was on a small boat in Malaysia in 1942 with about 130 mainly women and children when it was sunk by the Japanese, Only about 30 survived. The aunt was not one of them

Gerry :-)

Thank you for your PM Gerry.

I am pleased I was able to help.

What a sad story.......bought a lump to my throat and a tear to my eye. :-\
