I'm confused.........

You refer siblings of the people marrying........do you perhaps mean offspring?

I have advised Jillian that I have copied it here

Thank you Reggie. You certainly know where to look. I shall have a go at freebmd in a minute and see what I can find. For your information.
James Kay's first wife Alice died in 1888 and he remarried Sarah Heywood in 1889. Not what you would call one to wait about........ Still with 6 small bodies to care for you would expect it. My grandmother, Olive, being one of them. For the rest of them; Eliza married Edward Andrew and they had 3 children. May 1907, Henry 1909, and Arthur 1911.
John married Jane Lawton and they had GFlorence 1907
Ernest married Florence Lawton and they had James 1908 and Isabel 1912 .
My grandmother Olive marrid Joseph Glover and they had James and May who was my mother. They immigrated to New Zealand in 1914 and she just cut herself off from all contact with family. I have the family bible she brought with her so am well informed of all of them up till then and then of course nothing else . It irkes me to think I have cousins of sorts in England I know nothing about and would like to make contact with them at some stage. You never know. They just might like to find us lot here as well. Many thanks. Jillian
