Hello again Sue,
Thankyou for your last message. I have looked up what information I have about Edith Wynne, sister of Thomas.
When she was 35 years old she left Liverpool for USA on the Baltic, arriving Ellis Island on 19th October 1912, her sponsor/friend was Mrs (Mr) Dealey of 139 East 19th St, NY.
In 1921 she met up with Peter and his friend.
In 1927 she returned to Liverpool for the second marriage of her widowed sister Jane to James McCarte. She appears on their marriage certificate as witness Edith Marano.
Incidently (and of no great interest) the ship Baltic was a sister ship to the Titanic which had sunk some months before Edith sailed!
Now I am about to try to make the definitive family tree but hope I may come back to you to help fill in the gaps.
Best wishes
Keith

Hello Sue,
It was a lovely surprise to receive your Rootschat message, I had thought the topic had ground to a halt. The last postings I have date from July 2012 and I had been in contact with Joan Black in USA. I sent her copies of the part of the Wynne family trees I thought were relevant, but I never heard if they were received. I put this down to my very poor computer expertise which meant they never reached her.

Your information about the Bartolomei family has opened another chapter for us. My wife Ann has been busy with the web site and has now been able to add another couple of pages to the family tree.
It's wonderful to be able to get back to the early Wynnes and see how the marriage of Thomas Wynne and Catherine Gray led to our connection to the Bartolomei's.
I am nearly 81 years, born and raised in Chirk (now living in Gloucestershire) and am old enough to remember several of the Wynne family such as Thomas the ex-policeman, Ginny, Hannah and I recall my mother speaking of meeting Maude and Edith when they came over from the USA, and Peter who wore shoes with a decorative style which really impressed the folk of the mining village of Chirk.

I think we're able now to fit in most of the information you gave us so thankyou very much. We were unaware of many names you mentioned such as Joyce for example.
Now I'll take a long look at it and no doubt will find something to ask. Do you know if any of the Bartolomei family still live in Liverpool or in the UK?

With very best wishes
Keith

Hello Radcliff,

I am Keith Wynne Jones, son of Mona Wynne , grandson of Charles Wynne sadly killed 1906. He was the brother of Thomas Wynne, the Liverpool PC. Greatgrandfather was John Wynne.
I've traced my Wynne family back to William Wynne ca 1800 but there are numerous gaps which you and the other contributors are doing much to help me fill.

Re Alfred Wynne, I strongly believe he died aged 18 between July and September 1907.
I also think there may have been three other brothers who died early, John in 1891, Robert in 1900 and Edward in 1904.

You do have the correct Hannah, she was my mother's cousin, lived in Chirk and was widowed when James was killed in a colliery accident.I knew her well and her two sons Bernard and Raymond.  She later remarried Joel Mates
Once again thank you for your interest
Kind regards
Keith

Dear Radcliff,
I can't thank you enough for all you input. Together with the other contributors you have provided me with details of my Irish connection (Eileen Brennan in Avoca) and the USA where my g.aunt Edith whom I knew went to America as a young woman, was probably instrumental for the Brennans and Bartolomei's
emigrating. I never dreamed I would receive such help. Thankyou once more.
