Unfortunately, it's 14 years since Caroline posted that, Patrick / Sean.

She won't be looking for replies here now.

You can try contacting her by a private message - click on her name in green at the top of her post.
If she has kept her email address updated with GR, they will be able to let her know there is a message from you in the GR system.
Then she may or may not be able to read it and reply.
No guarantees!

But first, please remove your email address from your message on here. It's against the board rules, and also lays you open to all sorts of unwanted emails. This is not a secure site.

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

Hi Caroline my mother is Dorothy one of the daughters born to Mary Ellen a daughter of William , Mary married a William Manning in 1915 and you know some of the rest i think . Well my mum Dorothy is 94 next year and has told me some of her tales and that of her sisters & brother William. She married after the war and became what is know here as Ten pound poms so yes we are Aussies but she still hangs on the her accent and ways.
It would be great to hear from you and your knowledge of the family as she doesn`t know what became of her kin and it would be great to tell her before it`s to late.

Hi, I'm trying to trace any Hornbys that may be related to those that lived in Lytham St Annes in the early 1900's. I have traced back to my great great grandad William Hornby,b. around 1856 in the Rawcliffe area; married to Jane. He had 2 sons, William (b. 1887) and John (b. 1896). If you think there's a connection, please get in touch, I would love to hear from you.
