Thank you dathai, it does indeed look as though my Nanny, Margaret, was a kitchen maid in the household of Major Gerald Dease in 1911 when she was 16 or 17. I will ask Uncle Tony if he knows anything about this. She certainly was a very skilled cook and she would serve lunch and dinner with linen tablecloths and napkins, lovely serving bowls and cutlery. She was an incredibly giving person anyway and so loved by everyone who knew her.
On another note, I have had my DNA analysed on the site 23andMe and I have over 1,200 relatives on there all linked by DNA, half of which are from my father's side. There is a Thomas Carrigy on there, a third to fourth cousin. He lives in Las Vegas.
Thank you all for your information. I will start to formally compile a record of all these findings. What tool for family tree recording do any of you people recommend, please?
