Looking for members of and connections with a large family, 10 children in all. Children of Violet & Lancely Frank Brewer (4) and Violet & ? Shore (6). Violet originally from Somerset, born around 1880. Do not have maiden name, so can't track her through the census. Some of the children's names: George, Len, Stan, Maud (Shore) and Joyce, Joan, Ruby (Brewer). Ruby (my mum) died in 1986, I lost contact with my aunts and uncles. Does anyone know of connections with this family?

Hello Susan.
Your mum was my aunt Ruby. Her brother (my dad) is called William and was the youngest of the Brewer family. Not many Brewer's remaining now, only dad, Joan and Maud (I think). That makes us cousins?

My God! just came back to this board after 4 years and found your reply. Love to talk more. Were you known as Tina? I remember your family so well. Your mum taught me to knit, and i spent loads of time at your home with you girls. Please get in touch so we can exchange details. I'm on Ancestry now trying to track down my grandmother and her family.

Susan, it seems Bettina never posted anything else! Might be worth sending a message by clicking on her name.
What a remarkable thing - a pity she never PM'd you at the time!
Good luck.

I've found a birth for a Bettina on GR. Later than I was expecting but I've also looked on FreeBMD too and drawn a blank.

If this is the lady, she has a marriage on here also. I've Googled her and she shows up on 192 and in the household is the same male as on the marriage records I've found.

You'll have to buy credits for 192 but perhaps not in this case.

BT Directory Enquiries has 5 results for the area but just three show the same area post code as the result on 192.

If you pm me an e-mail addy for you, I'll cut and paste the pages and send them.
