Borghild M Beckett (nee Warren) and her sister Betty
« on: Sunday 01 February 15 10:05 GMT (UK) »
Hi

Would welcome information on these two ladies - my distant cousins.

Both these Warren girls, Borghild (born 1915) and her older step sister, Betty, were born in Ireland but emigrated to Canada about seventy years ago.

Any information would be gratefully received.

Regards

LH

Hi

Is this her??  If so, she died in Massachusetts in 1996

Hi: Borghild was my mom and Betty was my aunt.  Born in Ireland (Tipperary I believe) and emigrated to Canada 1948. Sadly they are both passed now. Who are you?  Carolyn

Hi

Thrilled to read your reply. 

Your Grandfather William was a brother to my Grandfather James! 

Would love to corrspond further but its probably best to do that through a Private Message.  For me to send you a Private Message, you need to have made three posts and as this is your first, if you reply to me now - then post another brief message - that'll be your three.

I'll give you my email address in a Private Message, to avoid spam.

Kind regards

Two posts will suffice for PM's to work these days (. . . I'm assured by "the Management"). So just one more post needed Carolyn.
