Ok thanks ??

Welcome to the boards Eleanor.

Michelle posted 5 years ago, if you want to try and contact her, click on her name in green and send a Private message through Genes, if she has the same email address she registered with them.

you hen have to hope for a reply, not everyone does - don't want to, no longer able to due to health problems etc.

Watch out for a green envelope in your sent messages - if it's closed, then your message hasn't been read.

If you wish Michelle to know of your interest, it would be best to try to contact her by clicking on her name. She is unlikely to be looking for replies after more than five years, especially as she only has 3 posts to her name

The other twin sister Jessica was known by her middle name Norah but she died young.

Richard and Dorothy Walsh were my great grandparents.

The youngest child Harold was my mother’s father.

I never met Harold as he died before I was born but I did meet my great aunts Kathleen and Christine, who I knew as auntie Kath and Auntie Chris.

thanks for all your information,just so amazing. :-)

Thank you for all the information I am overwhelmed by the replies.

I will PM Michelle to let her know she has received replies.
