Hi Paul

Still have some credits so I'll have a look at the "Littles" to see if I can establish a connection.

I'll also see if I can send this cert tonight - still think I might need to wait till I get home though.

That looks like a definite death for Ninian Glendinning.

Hi Looby,
Many thanks for your kind offer. The family tree is gaining in size at a rate that I can hardly believe.
Rachel, Julie, Jenny and others have all incurred costs and my request to cover these costs (or at least some of them) has consistently and politely been turned down.
There has been a lot of work, lookups and certificates purchased so I too sincerely thank all those who have put their hands into their pockets without any return.
If I have missed out anyone then I apologize.
Many thanks to you all.
Paul

Brenda

You've done it again - thanks very much. We were only talking yesterday evening about Norman P (born Q1 1911 NuT) and weighing up the risks of ‘is this a connection or not’

We do know there was a Norman but as no mmn's until later in 1911 it was going to be a gamble.

Can I ask you, if you have time, to look for offspring from this marriage?

Thanks again
Rachel
