Yes connected to other thread. would like to know more about Frank Clay 1899 Rene Clay 1904 and Ginny Clay. Also unsure if frank Clay was Rev Clay. Kathleen Clay was my grandmother born 1902. My father Peter Clay born 1925 out of wedlock. place birth Lonsdale cottage Higher Heath Whitchurch. would also like to know who else was living there at the time. Was this her family home or was she sent there to give birth. very interested.

Many thanks Angela
