Member Since: May 2012 Posts: 12 Send Message	Crumbs, where do I start, right thankyou for your replies, I will need to study this later as I am off out now. But broadly speaking it looks encouraging. I need now to see if Miss J M Colebrook daughter of Betty and Gordon had a sister, I have that name which would confirm this root is correct. In answer to your question, I have not used any other search place. Thankyou very much for your help. Chris

Member Since: May 2012 Posts: 12 Send Message	Ha ha your right, excellent, Sally M is the sister and married to Jeff with two children. so the Juliet M Hodgson is correct, and so is the father Gordon P Colebrook, along with Betty. So has someone got a tree on line with this on ? Thankyou for your help. Chris

Member Since: May 2012 Posts: 12 Send Message	Although, I must be careful because the M in Sally M Colebrook is infact Marina. But I notice in Betty it's Maureen. I will keep checking with info I have, how do we find out if Juliet is still alive? I am also trying to find out more about any of her children I have found somewhere that she may have one daughter old possibly be married to a Blight and maybe live in the family home, if I am right. and also Sally's children. Thanks Chris
