You MUST have a connection with the previous person's name, or address, or age or occupation or something else specific. Here goes: My great great grandmother was Honor Brewer Pope Broad. She was born 1831 in St Ervan, Cornwall. She married in a register office and had her first child 3 weeks after the wedding. Her husband was called James. Her 4th daughter Emma was my great-grandmother. |

Sorry folks I think you've missed the point. It isn't - list details about your relatives. It's give a relative who has some similarity with the one in the previous posting. So who has someone with any similarities with my Honor? |

Hi Nell I think we started off ok, then lost the plot a bit! I thought that the first reply had the connection of the middle name James with yours, and the next one had 1936 in common with the previous reply. Mine was called 'George' in common with the previous reply. Mandy :) |

Edward Henry SKERRETT was born in Blaengarw, Glamorgan in 1890, with parents Edward and Catherine, (nee VAUGHAN). By 1901 they seem to have forgotten this and say he was born in Herefordshire, and they call him Henry. |

Would it be easier to follow if we wrote the connection in capitals? Just a thought. My GRANDFATHER, William Roy Kilpatrick, was born in Killarney, Manitoba, Canada in 1897. |
