Hello Glyn, when you say "still trying to trace" do you have a previous thread on him?

Here's a link to that thread.

Glyn, the best thing to do is to add a request to the bottom of the previous thread saying that you're still looking for info - that moves it to the top of the boards so people will see it. I'm afraid it's against Genes terms & conditions to have more than one thread about a person.

I'll nudge the old thread up.

EDIT: Here's the link I forgot to put in!

If you just add a reply to your original thread it will bring it back up the boards.

All you have to say is something like - still need help

Researching:
PLEASE DO NOT: send me information concerning your thread on the board as it should be posted on your request where all members can see it. PLEASE DO NOT: ask me for help with lookups as they should be placed on the boards to get the best possible result. PLEASE DO NOT: open your tree just because I have posted information on your thread as I will not be related. THANK YOU. Researching Carter, Cass and Walker in England.
