How can I read PMs I have sent to another roots chatter?
How long are PMs stored for? the one I sent was several weeks ago.
Just want to check the info I sent, thanks.

I really like the logo. We are all looking for our roots. And the little green shoots are a sign of hope for the future. You can't have one without the other.
Well done!

This is brilliant news and you have exceeded my wildest expectations, and in such a short time too.
I have so often wondered what happened to them, and I am delighted to find I have family in Toronto!

Hilda would have been named after Lilian's sister. Lilian was my grandfather's sibling (out of 12 altogether) and I have been working on finding out about them for some time now.

Hopefully one of the grandchildren will spot this post and contact me.

Thank you, thank you thank you, I am thrilled.

I need a drink -so just off to pop the kettle on!!   :D :D :D

Hello I am returning to this branch of the tree again. (I have a lot of branches!!)

I have been unable to find any death record for either Frank or Lilian Foulkes.  I believe Lilian died after 1966.  Believed to be still in Toronto.

I am with FindMyPast but they don't show Canadian records.

Also did their children  Lilian May (b 1904 in Anglesey) and Dick (b 1911 in Liverpool,) return to the UK?

Many thanks for any info.

Have just realised Frank Foulkes was crossing the Atlantic just a few days ahead of the Titanic, which left Southampton on April 10th......... and sank four days later on the 14th April.

Hello,I have family who emigrated to Canada in 1912, believed to be Toronto. 
They are Frank Thomas Foulkes born 1882 in Wales, his wife Lillian born 1884 in Wales and children Lillian May Foulkes born 1904 and Dick Foulkes born 1911. 

Frank Thomas Foulkes fought in WW1 in the Canadian army. By trade he was a master mariner. It is believed he was later employed in the harbour master's office at Toronto.

Would it be possible for sks to see if they appear on an electoral roll or similar? I would love to know what happened to them.

Grateful thanks for any help whatsoever.
