Find Living Relatives

I am looking to get in contact with any members of the Manser/Perry line. I show them in Bermondsey, England in most of the census searches I have done.

John & Elizabeth would be my GG-Grandparents. Their son William John married Nellie Burns from Ireland and immigrated to Canada then the USA sometime between 1910 & 1913.

William John had 6 siblings I have been able to identify - Martha J, Harriett Alice, Rosa Jane, Elizabeth, John William & Edward Charles.

I would love to find out more about the family.

Thank you
Michelle
