Hi Joseph

Thanks very much. I had the marriages of Maud and Fred as Maud is my mother. I also had some details of Albert as I have managed to contact his grandson. I also know that Barbara married Charles Hosgood possibly in 1908. Are you related at all?

Sorry Barbara,

I'm no relation, just one of many members who enjoy helping newcomers and long time members.

Regards,
Joseph
