Hello Danielle,

I am decendant from George Edward Roylance (b.1862, St Luke, Shoreditch). He is the brother of William Roylance (b.1869 St Luke, Shoreditch). I have details of their parents John Roylance and Sarah Simmons and can go back further to Sarah's parents.
I then run out of on-line records to search to progress my tree.

If you are related to William Roylance in my tree then I'd be glad to hear from you to see if you have gone any further back than me.
