I would like to hear from any descendants of Hannah Underhill and William Winwood, they were my Great Great Grandparents, they were both born in 1855, Stourbridge, Staffordshire.

It’s very very unlikely that Mark will see your post

Try clicking on his name and sending a message

If he still has the same email address it will go through but there’s no guarantees he will reply

Unfortunately, Mark died in 2019.

KEEPER, MARK DANIEL 1976
GRO Reference: DOR Q1/2019 in MILTON KEYNES (326-1A) Entry Number 518654745


William & Hannah Winwood >> their daughter Amelia >> her son Samuel Thorpe >> his daughter Rhoda Dorothy Thorpe >> her son was Mark.


There are trees on Ancestry for the family, but it looks as if Mark had no siblings.
Also eight people have him on their GR trees.

EDIT: Yes, he did have siblings (3), per ER and then FreeBMD - one possibly still living at Mark's last address - but the family doesn't seem to be related to Terry's family.


There's no Richard Winwood in the trees for Mark's family,

That’s sad

His account was still showing as open which is why I suggested sending a message

Hopefully Terence picks up he has passed before trying to communicate

PM sent to Terry to let him know.


It's just one example of why people often get no replies to messages.
