I am trying to trace the family of Jessie Dix from Blakehall farm,Onneley,near Crewe born in the late 1890s.She was my grandmother. Thanks Chris Boulton nee Corbishley

Hi Chris

I have a Jessie Dix in my tree she was born in 1888 and was married to Albert Corbishley.

Is there any connection?

Irene Dix

Looks like it. Sorry for taking so long to answer. I have not been researching for a long time with moving house etc. I am trying to get back into it again. Would you ;like access to my tree?

Christine,

Looks like Christine is not a member anymore as she has 0 posts to her name. It's unlikely that she will see your reply after 12 years. You could try clicking on her name and sending a private message. If she still has the same email address that she registered with Genes then she will be notified of your message, but I wouldn't hold out much hope of contact.

Christine -

are you still wanting help with Jessie?

It is Irene who has no posts to her name

Christine is the one who originated the thread 15 years ago

Let's hope she returns more swiftly this time............. ;-)

Strangely, despite the ‘no posts’ it’s still possible to send Irene a personal message by clicking on her name.

Although there’s no guarantee that she’ll ever receive or read it, it’s certainly worth a try.
