Thank you so very much, Barbara. The info from the 1911 Census is spot on - Nellie & Lousia were my Dad's sister although I've not heard of Jethro before.

Not sure but could be Jethro

Hi Velvet
I have put "Maybe" on most things as they really need checking with certificates etc. Sorry I should have said this in the begining.

Best wishes

Thanks for the link Chris.

Barbara you are a star. I knew about George, but, as I said before, had no knowledge of Jethro. Guess that is not surprising given that he was only 14 when he died.
