Hi Sue Todd

My Great Grandfather was Robert Todd.He married a Mary Watson.
I have a photo of Thomas and Mary, Idont know very much about Mary and Thomas,only what I have been told by a living aunt.

Ethel,one of their children married my Grandad William Parkin (county Durham)

I think most of the Todds in this family were Left hand Riverters,
love to hear if we have a link
