Hi! I'm looking for my relation who is my great grandad sister.
Her name is Ellen maud Oakley born 1902 in portslade in Sussex England.
Her parent is Harry Oakley and Annie Oakley . She had 3 brothers John Oakley b1900 George Oakley b1905(my great grandad ) and Richard Oakley 1912.
I have no information on her only her birth so if she in your family tree I would love to hear from you as I can't find anything on her life!
Thanks :-)

Hi Samantha and welcome to the Community boards.

It looks as though several members on this site have Ellen in their tree.

Simply click on Search above and then on Search All Trees and fill in Ellen's details.

You can contact the tree owners for further information.
