Hi Chris,
I'm hoping you can help me, Annie May Hardy was my great grandmother, the mother of my grandfather Frederick William Wilson.
I've been studying my fathers side of the family for a while now but I've always struggled with getting any further back than Annie May. I know she was married/partnered to a man called Jack after Fred, Arthur, Eddie and your mother Norah were born, but prior to this all I can be certain of is that she was married to Arthur John Wilson.
I've found information on your side of the family (Swarbrooke) back to about 1842, but I've stopped at William SWARBROOKE and Charlotte Emma CARTWRIGHT to try to get more information on the Wilson side if I can. I've possibly found a connection with Annie May at Sutton Bonington with Joseph & Harriett Hardy which mentions Edna M, Gertrude I, Olive L, and Annie M living there, but the evidence is just not there to prove that this information is correct.
I found a document by chance over the weekend after searching for information about Yvette Swarbrooke, and I've just looked a little deeper and I've realised that you wrote it. Thank you, it was a very interesting read and gave me more information than I could have possibly expected in one hit!
Anyway, if you'd like to contact me then I would dearly love to talk, and gain more knowledge about our family.
With my kindest regards
Ivan Wilson
