Hi Pels

On the Jane/Olivia wedding, it looks like she used the name Jane sometimes (just to confuse things),  could be worse my Sunderland branch of the family on my Dad's side are Bonallie but not content on that they appear as Bonello.Bonella, Boneller and Bonellia to name but a few so that's been fun.

Hi Carole

Many thanks again (I've just read your reply on Elizabeth Lower) for the information.  I'll look up all the new leads, it looks like both families had an unsettled start living with relatives and boarding which probably explains why they are so hard to find so the info you have given me will help a great deal.  I'm in touch with two of Sarah's sisters Catherine and Ellen's granddaughter and grandson and they had hit a brick wall too, so I'll pass the info on to them too for their family trees.

Thanks once again for all you've done

Yours Julie

Hi Gina

Thank you ever so much for all the information, youv'e answered one of my biggest questions, what made my Great Gran Annie (Leng) Boddy move to Leeds from KMS in time for my Gran,  Olive Gwendoline Leng to be born in the parish of Wortley Leeds on 5 Nov 1905 and now I can see it was because of William's job as a porter in Leeds.  Thank you also for the dates for Annie's siblings.  I'll keep a watch out for the other spelling of Boddy and the fact that Olivia was also known as Jane. I've only just got in touch with my Uncle on Genes Reunited he knew very little about his ancestry so he will be delighted when I tell him the news.

Yours Julie

Donkin, do you have a William Donkin in your family tree born 1872 married Harriet Wilson Bonallie in Dec 1897 in Sunderland? 

Hi Margaret, I'll try to find the Helmsley address tomorrow, many thanks for the info, yours Julie
