Welcome to the boards Angela

I would look in the search trees for any connections if I were you

How much research have you done, Angela?


Try looking at......................


http://www.freebmd.org.uk/

William Hall Gardner b. 1890 Catford Lewisham, was Henry Gardner's Nephew. Henry is Sir Charles Bruce Gardner's father. The info is sensitive and I would prefer not to broadcast it . His son by a legitimate marriage was my father. I would like any photos or info.of his kin as they would be sentimental to me. My father was dislocated from the family in 1925 when he was a baby and nothing was heard from since. William Hall's mother was Katherine Parker Dill. Thank you.

Have you looked to see if anyone have these people in their trees as I mentioned above?

Very unlikey that anyone connected will see this in the near future

Tried a lot of avenues and not successful. Thanx, Angela :-(

Your post is not very clear......... who was your grandfather?

And who are you actually trying to trace?

William Gardner, 1890, Catford, is in 5 people's trees on here.
Have you tried to contact all of them?
I appreciate that the matter is sensitive, but I am unsure as to who you are trying to find.

Certainly a few Gardner siblings to search trees for!

Not urgent, obviously

Have done the basic research. If anyone has any info or photos on Peter Anderson Gardnerb1864c and his wife Katherine Parker Dill b.1863c, WIlliam Hall Gardner b1890 and sister Katherine Euphemia Gardner b1892 then you are welcome to reply. They are all related to Sir Charles Bruce Gardner and someone MUST have a photo at least, Thanks Carol Gardner

Any answers as per the directions of the company. Carol (Gardner by rights)

Carol,

Have you attempted to contact anyone who has these people in their trees on here?

Have you looked for living descendants of the people you mention, and believe you have found any?

You have to go out and search for them, not expect them to come to you as very few people read these boards.

I do not see why anyone must have a photo, sorry, but lots of people are not interested in keeping photos, labelling them correctly, or even having them taken in the first place. Many people just get rid of everything once a person has died, unfortunately.
