Marliene

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%)
Grindrod Ormerod Millett Bury 8c 979
Marriages Dec 1916 (>99%)
Millett Elsie Grindrod Bury 8c 797

Someone hasn't transcribed the records very carefully

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.
