I'm trying to find information about my great aunt Edith Maud Mitchell, born 1886, Bradford, West Yorkshire to Edward Malinson Mitchell & Lucy Lifton (nee French). She had a half-sister Lillian May, and sisters Flora, Annie Lifsey (my grandma) & Gertrude. I remember Flora & Gertrude well & have particular fond memories of Gertrude (Gertie) All of the sisters grew up at Tong Cemetery Lodge as their father was Sexton there. My father, Geoff, was born there in 1935 but moved to Heckmondwike with his father Charley Yates after Annie died. In the 1901 census sheEdith Maud worked as a wool comber/machine minder. Any information about her would be welcome as I've hit a dead end. Thanks Jo
