kathleen cox nee Rabbitts who wrote this book went to honeywood in canada and met her siblings

some of her dates in the book are wrong (i have since followed her research)

but i am in contact with her decendents so i know they are over there!
avril has told me that her mum was brought up in an orphange

which ties in with my ethel winifred history

there are just too many coincedences here

i think maybe Ethel was misinformed

however she has 6 sisters that i cannot account for!!!!


like i said

this is a work in progress

am grateful to all those that are following it and helping

i will keep you informed

I've trawled the canada sites offered but cant see any Rabbitts, yet Aunty that wrote the book said some went there..... the plot is very sticky !
I looked for rabbit/clifton children after the marriage but dont find any... 2 Harry Cliftons in the Directory grocer or baker ?Red Herring ???
The only thing I have on the marriage is that she would have been 21 ??

Do you both have copies of the certs?

I presume so if both parents are named.

Why can you not send a copy and then compare the certs.
