Having searched the new directories site (message no. 293239) I found someone in the 1904 directory for March, Cambridgeshire, who might be a relative - Charles Sisney, shown as a farmer, with wife Naomi. They are also listed in the 1916 directory. Can I find them in the 1891 or 1901? No, of course I cannot. They are indexed as SISNEY, it looks like Sisney, and surely if it had been a misprint in the 1904 they would have had it corrected by 1916? So where can they have come from? Please help if you can. Jan.

Thanks, April. If Charles and Naomi are brother and sister, then they aren't who I'd hoped they would be. Pity. Jan.
