You might want to add these names into your tree on here.


If you go to Search at the top and then select Search All Member Trees you will see several members have Gledhill in their trees.

Hi, trying to find any living descendants of a Gledfill and Cecilia Cottam who may still be living in the area. The family of Glrdhill, Cecilia, Edward, Sarah and Davis lived in Alma House Cottingham. I have searched a little and find that some of the family emigrated to Canada and Switzerland?
Any help would be appreciated, many thanks, Cameron
