How much research have you done yourself?

Are you aware of freebmd?

Hi Rose,

It seems this must be my grandparents as the middle letters match their middle names Lily Edna Cora Turner and Thomas Henry Brooker. How wonderful! Thankyou so much

Thankyou Reggie, please forgive me as I wasn't ignoring you! Although I have had my account for sometime, illness stopped me from using it therefore I am very new to this and still finding my way around. Any help us if course most welcomed! Thankyou

I don't think Kirsti wants any help....she ignored my offer

Is this the marriage?

Marriages Dec 1932

Rose

Thankyou for the welcome Jax!

I guess this is most likely the answer. Such a shame

If you would like some help with your research............post a question, and we'll see what we can do

Welcome to the boards Kirsti

If the message has not been opened he may have changed his email address and is no longer using the site

I received a message some months ago that had been sent in 2009 from a Jason Pope. Unfortunately, I had not seen the message and it seems we are directly related through my father's parents Lily Turner and Thomas Brooker therefore I would love to be able to contact him. Upon answering Jason's message, I haven't received a reply so not sure if he is still an active member on Genes Reunited. Any help would be greatfully received especially seeing as this area of my family is very vague!
