I actually forgot that I posted on here years ago hahah
I got into the family history for a while and then I got side tracked. when I came across this forum again, I didnt realise I had already posted here

I dont know this forum very well actually, and need to find out where everything is, as ive taken up family history again and  will be spending time on here

I am so sorry if I am poting in the wrong column, but im needing your help, I accidently came across this forum and saw a post from a member who was researching the same family as me haha, his name is Garstonite and I would just love to chat with him. WE might actually be related some how down the family line haha I think this is just brilliant, I have private messaged this man and I just hope that hes still a member here and ha received my message ok.. I would be so grateful for any feed back and help around the forum and to get to meet people. thank you so much in advance x

Thanks so much for all your help, I so very much appreciate this, is there a course I could do in which I can be taught everything about genealogy ?

Thank you all so much for all your help, you are just wonderful.. I had a bit of help from a friend from church and this is what he sent me....

Also, My moher tells me that Esther and john james eloped,, because one of them was upper class.. and their relationship wasn't approved, so maybe they didn't marry. its a mystery
