Thanks to Genesreunited I have just had contact with a 2nd cousin of mine(Robert Hutson Ridley), who I never knew existed. I have found out loads of family history which I didn't know also. I've also been given an address for another relative which is amazing.Unfortunately I've since been told that this relative has passed away. But I've also been told that I've got 2 more Aunties Hazel & Sylvia nee (Piggot) I think that was there original surname but I'm not 100% sure on that. I never knew they existed! WOW! If they see this at all, I'd love to hear from them, so that they can tell me more of what their Mother Mona was like. Mona was my Father Raymond Vincent Ridley's Mother. He was born in Edinburgh in 1935. I hope to stay in touch with my newly found 2nd cousin Robert, now that I've found him. Thanks Genesreunited,as this would never have happened without your site.
