My wife's Grandmother was Laura Agnes Wilson born abt 1877 in Badford. She had 6 siblings. I know their names, they were Eva Gertrude b 1889. Sydney Herbert b 1888. Charles Edward b 1886. Jessie Evelyin b 1885. George Arthur b 1883. Florence Emily b 1879.

My wife vaguley remembers Florence Emily and Eva Gertrude from when she was a child, but knows nothing about any of this part of her family or what happened to them. Can anyone help? I know you have all been so helpful in the past and hope you will be again.

Thank you

David
