I am searching for my first cousins. Their father's name was John Thorley Fitzgerald. John passed away in 1951. His parents were Louise Thorley and Christopher John Fitzgerald. He had a sister named Mary Fitzgerald.

My Louise/Louisa Thorley was born 1894 in Basford, Derbyshire, and trained as a nurse in Halifax, Yorkshire.
I can only trace her upto 1940. My mother was told she had married but to whom and where she had no idea.
I do hope there is a connection to enable me to go further as I seem to have hit a brick wall as far as Louise is concerned. Look forward to hearing from you.

Craig - welcome to the boards.

As Anne's profile shows no posts to her name, it would appear that she is no longer a member.
Also her post was 10 years ago.

You may be lucky, but on the other hand, don't hold your breath for a reply!
