I would like to ask my Granny Mary who died in 1967 what she knew about Grandads eldest sister Jane, and why she was never talked about. Even my Mum had never heard of her despite living with you for a number of years and hearing endlessly about the rest of the family. We only found Jane, now married, named on her mother's will which turned up in some family papers years later. Is Jane one of the people on your wedding photo? Did you know she appears to have had some children before her death in 1914? |

I would like to meet them all and request that, if they insist in giving all their offspring the same names, could they please at least give them a different middle one. |

I'd ask my great grandmother if she ever met my father. I'd ask her what happened to her daughter Jessie Louisa who disappeared just after her christening. I'd also ask her what her second son was called and did she know her husband had dumped the two eldest kids in an orphanage before following her to London. I'd also like her to tell me if she really did have a fling with a Russian diplomat. I'd like her to tell me who fathered the twins as they were born 10 months after her husband died. I'd have to question her about where the heck she hid herself for the 1911 census. |

My gr/gr/grandparents emigrated to Australia in 1836/7, with their three little boys. Due to an outbreak of measles, the two younger boys died and were buried at sea. The journey took more than four months. |
