Particularly those who descend from people born in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Any info would be appreciated and in the strictest of confidence.

My great great grandmother was born around 1858, Emma Harris, she married William Walker and they had (I think) 6 children:- George Jane William Annie Lily Richard all born late 1800's/early 1900's. Annie was my gt grandma, moved to Manchester around 1916. Emma's mum was Mary Harris (nee Reeves) born approx 1818. Hope you can confirm the connection! Regards, Susan.
