	I am trying to find information on, or descendants of, Thomas Thomas. Not an uncommon name, I realise, but this one was Anglo-Indian, lived in Lucknow, India and worked on the Oudh & Rohilkhand Railway. He married Eliza Maria Longhurst, and their children - all born in Lucknow as far as I know - were Cyril H (1885), Alan (1887), Eric (1896), Irene (1898) and Heather May (1904). Eliza's sister Caroline was my great-grandmother. Thank you, and good luck with your researches. Matthew Wilde.
	Researching: In and near Sheffield, Yorkshire, England: Wilde; Barringham (also in the Netherlands around 1800); Fretwell; Turver; and Turner and Scholey, in the 17th and 18th centuries. In India: Longhurst and Thomas (in Lucknow). I shall not be renewing my subscription, when it expires on 19/3/21, after decades of membership. I have not been able to upload the latest version of my family tree for some months, and several requests for help have not been responded to. In its early years, I did make contact with many previously unknown cousins through Genes Reunited - for which I will always be grateful.
