Thanks Carol.

Oh, that's a shame. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Hello David (Ford of Crows),
This photograph is of my family too!
My Grandfather, George Borrill, is the young man on the far right of the back row. In front of him is his younger brother, Joseph. Both George and Joseph moved to live in Winteringham, Lincolnshire, where George met and married my Nan, Nellie Bratton. Roland moved to live in Appleby, Lincolnshire and I remember my Nan talking about Auntie Florrie. I also know that T hey used to visit relatives in Knaresborough.
There was a family story that George was one of 22 children but I can't find any evidence of that.
I do know that my Grandad's father was married to Mary but later remarried. On the 1901 census, Hannah is listed as the 14 year old daughter of the next door neighbours. She was obviously significantly younger than him when they married.
I too would love to find out about the rest of the family. In the past, I have had contact with Stephen Borrill, the grandson on Roland. He lives in Australia now, having moved there from Hibaldstow, North Lincolnshire. I will see if I can dig out the information he shared with me and see if I can find a way to contact him again.

What are your links to the Borrill family? It is fascinating to find people who are linked.
