Hi Margaret M

Thankyou
Olive

Thankyou Chris Ho
For all your info on William Edward Burrows

Bye for now !!
Olive

Still think if you look 'Search All Member Trees', could be to your advantage!, can see Sidney (1941) for a start...

Might be more helpful for you to make contact, than just taking Info./Photo's from a 'Tree', perhaps. Might at least help with Sidney (senior, that is!)

Chris :)
