Find Ancestors

Hello Linda, and welcome to the Boards.

Just in case Helen is no longer a member, or doesn't check her thread, it might be best to contact her directly by PM.

Just click on her name and send her a message. As long as she is able and has the same email address, GR will notify her that you have sent her a message.

Good luck!

Helen,

Charles was my Grandfather. I never met him. He remarried to Dorotjy Pfleger. My Dad is John Eddie Pfleger. I have been trying to find out as much as I can as Dad has dementia and IS am trying to find common ground.

I found photgraph on ancestory.co.uk posted by aprilwilbourne with a picture of Florence, with the family who looked after her. One of the men is a remarkeable resemblence to my Dad!

I think we have the same Charles. Please contact me as I am trying to find as much out as possible.

Kind regards

Lida Curtis

Also it would be good for her to learn how to reply on the boards. Rather than clicking on a poster's name, click on the purple 'Add Reply' button at the top of a page, or scroll right to the bottom. There you will find the 'add your reply' box to type in, then click the purple 'Submit' button.

Hey presto! :-D

Someone on Ancestry has him re-marrying in 1922? To a Dorothy Pfledger. Also has 2 daughters to 1st marriage. Might be wrong of course!
