Hi Everyone , This is proberly the last time that I shall try to find any of my relatives
on my mums side. Mum came from a old family in London (Bermondsey) . I started my journey looking for mums cousins of which there was 7 or 8 all of them apart from 1 had children . So I do feel that their is someone out there. Mum was Patricha Aston she had two sisters. Nans maiden name was Gillis. Also on my granddads side his mothers maiden name was Green. I do know I have a second cousin in popler but she has made it clear that she is not intrested in finding family.
It has been hard to find relatives as most of the cousins where girls and the surnames have changed. If this sounds like we may be related would be nice to hear from you. :-D

Have you asked before on GR?

How much research have you done?

Search trees is worth looking at............IF you know first names, birth years and birthplaces

It appears that Gwendoline had one daughter, who, sadly, died in infancy

So that line is closed
