There's a Woolley near Wakefield? ( which ties in with the birth mentioned judging by freebmd)

Could be any number of reasons why Marjorie hasn't returned.......


Lack of familiarity with the site.

Lack of computer skills/knowledge.

Unable to access a computer on a daily basis.

Illness.

Accident.

Looking at when her mother was born, Marjorie is a similar age to myself so I am quite happy to give her the benefit of the doubt as to how interested she is :)
