I see you've read my message asking you to return - can you give some feedback please

Sorry for the delay in replying...many commitments !! The Lemons you have named are part of my family however I still cannot find the link to William born 1799 or there abouts, I have been trying for 10 years to establish a link without success.
My grandfather ( whom I met) was Edward born 1875 in Gt.Yarmouth.
My gt.grandfather was Frederick born 1853 in Woodbastwick, Norfolk.
My gt. gt. granfather was William born 1823 in Woodbastwick at house 34 !1
My gt,gt,gt. grandfather I think was William..
There is evidence of a William on the 1841C born 1790/91 living in Woodbastwick
but I can`t prove a direct connection. It is so easy to assume things.
Are you connected to this family in any way ???

Linda ...............

None of us will be connected to your family ...............

What you get on the Boards is help from other memmbers who may have access to records that you don't know about or have not yet found.

If you wish to see if any member is connected with your Lemons, then you have to search the member Trees

Go to Search near the top of your screen

Click on Search All Member Trees

Enter a name

If there is a tree / trees with that name, then it will show, and you then send a pm (private message) through the GR system to the person named as the tree owner.

Then you wait ................ if they still have the same email address that is on file with GR, they will get the message.

Keep checking in your Sent messages to see is the message has been opened ......... a green envelope to the left of the name indicates that the message has not been opened. If there is no envelope showing, then the message has been opened.

William (c1791) in the 1841 is a brickmaker- does this match the occupation on marriage?
