Dear Margee

No this is not my relation. My grandfathers name was Saunders , my grandmothers name was Elizabeth. Rose was born in 1891 at Great Barford , I have found out that she was the eldest of 14 siblings & that she married a man called Chris Cox {date unknown}
Thanks anyway Sheila

SHEILA GREEN - well now it should be on your "My threads" as you've posted here.

No idea why it would have been put on your threads, Sheila. Suggest you contact GR about it. Nothing the other Sheila can do.

This has been put on my threads but it has nothing to do with me there must be another Sheila .
Please put this on to a separate thread .

Thank you
SHEILA GREEN

p.s. I asked about her siblings not her children. Siblings being brothers & sisters.

Hello Margee

I do not know how many children she had, because she left this country before I was born. I am still trying to pursue this question from my relatives.

Hello Andy

Thankyou for responding to my plea for help. My aunt lived in Great Barford Bedfordshire. She was born in 1891.

If she was your auntie you must know the names of her siblings? Any info will help us to find her.

I am trying to trace an auntie who emigrated to Canada in the
1910-20s I know she married before she went out there but cannot trace the name of her husband, I have looked on most census forms to no avail. Her name was Rose Robinson, I have asked a few of my living relatives who can remember her but still no luck. I hope someone may be able to give me some suggestions where to go from here. Regards Sheila
