Thank you so much for tthe kindness of all the looking up and your time having given for me. Enkah, and all that you have wonerfuly come up with. Sorry i have taken time to come back to you . i have been trying to look up myself. . i have found a Leslie Gregory death 1966 Prescot Lancashire England age of death 49
My friend did say that her father died young at around that age. birth on it as 1817
This confused me because she gave me Frances Leslie Gregory b 1926 which cant be right . as she is in her seventies. It was the Leslie that i could not find any thing for .
The one with the W Gregory and the Catherine Crapper is her great great Grandfather.
but because the census ends in 1911 i cant find her father any where .
I have so many to go through now thanks to you again ,
I know there is a Crapper in our side of the family somewhere so will have to try and find if there is a connection link . I hope so as we have become close friends Thank you so much again will let you know
