Hello, I have had a lot of work this week so I haven't been able to come here to read through everything, but you all have been so much in my thoughts, I told my husband that I call you all The Detectives! I am so grateful to you all. <3

I am just adding the names that GG provided to my tree, so much information, I am blown away by all this! It's wonderful. I was sad to discover that Carmen was in Plymouth, I knew nothing about her but I too was in Plymouth during some of her time there, it would have been so nice to have known her.
I did know my Aunt Lily a little (Violet Lily) but it is obvious that in reality I knew nothing of my father's family,.

Kay, you are a treasure, thank you for the cousins names, this is magnificent!

THANK YOU ALL, I remain astonished, and so very grateful, by your efforts. :-)

Just to add (very belatedly) to my post on 10 Nov 2021 @12:29 -

I have only just noticed a reply from Emma on Ancestry, re my query to her about the different fathers' names given for Frank/lin Wilkins.

She says -
"Yes, I believe it to be a mistake made by a young man who probably didn't remember his father because he was very young when his father died.. . . . Alfred Edward WILKINS was the actual name of the father of Franklin but he died when Franklin was very young so a lot of Alfred's children gave various versions of his name."

Aurora said she was going to join Ancestry, so I hope she has been able to make contact with Emma for herself.
