Member Since: January 2013 Posts: 2 Send Message	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?
