Hi Susan,

Jean is no longer a member of Genes Reunited, so there is no way of getting in touch with her via the site I'm afraid.

Susan -
You've added to an 18-year-old thread as I expect you realise.

Unfortunately, Jean is no longer a member of GR and cannot be contacted through the site.
She is also highly unlikely to be looking for replies on her thread after so long.

Researching:
Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

Hi Jean, Are you still looking for Catherine Skivington born Barrow 1905? If so please reply to this message as I have a lot of info, including DNA match to Catherine's nephew confirming family link. My Catherine, and her sister Margaret Catherine (1907), were sent to a convent in Newcastle when their mother died in 1916. Father James, mother also named Margaret Catherine.

Hi, I have been trying for many years to find my father's sister, Catherine Skivington, born 0ct, 1905 in Barrow in Furness and later may have lived in Blyth, Northumberland. I have searched most scources and have recorded nearly all the Skivingtons held at the family record centre. Any help would be appreciated. Happy hunting, Jean
