Hi all, sorry haven't been around, not been well. Back now and will get onto finishing replying to all those who've emailed me.

Anything I need to be updated about?

Hi Anna,i did suggest Carole email's you re Leggett family.
Perhaps we could soon have a new updated list of any who you still have'nt any family contact for yet?

Jessie Brooks

Confusion has crept in here. Should be Jessie Elizabeth Brooks nee Dearman not Jessie Alexandra Brooks nee Brown (she died in 12/3/1945).

This Jessie is the mother of the Henry Brooks who also died in the disaster.

Hi guys, sorry for not being here. Long story, won't go into here.

I'll get my list sorted this week and let you know what activity (or inactivity for the last month) has been going on.

Be back soon. Thanks for keeping it going.

I have begun research on another book I want to write, (I have just had one published) My Gran died in the tube disaster, her name was Mary Ann Fowler, my dad her son, moved out of London and never spoke about his mother or the disaster. That was until he went to the memorial service in Bethnal Green, he went with his two brothers. I began to take an interest and asked him about her, but did nothing, he died in 2006, his brother two years later. I began my research but have hit a brick wall, what is strange, Mary Fowler several years after her husband died and along with her three children, moved a man into her house, not a thing to do in the 1930's. She was disowned by her family. Of the list of people who died 171 have addresses, two are without. My gran Mary Fowler and the man she lived with Albert Nevile. Mary Fowler was Mary Silver, I can find nothing on that family either. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place, but the more I look the stranger it becomes. I'm hoping someone out there can help me continue my search into this colourful woman.
