My mother, Hannah Whiteside (nee Bittles) born 2.11.1892 had relatives in Bury, one of whom was called Elsie? who married Ormrod Grindrod both of them worked in o ne of the local cotton mills. I would be interested to hear whether there is any connection here, Elsie an Ormrod Grindrod were living in Fairfield, Bury they had a daughter.

This is an old posting..........

If you wish to explore the possibility of a connection send a message to Brum by clicking on the name

Or you could research Ormerod's family , to see whether they connect with the man who married in 1909 in Devon.....and stayed there..........having been born in CORNWALL

Marriages Dec 1916 (>99%)
