I have a photo, left to me by my mother, of a Jewish lady called Lea Davidoff.  Lea was a refugee from wartime Europe who stayed with my mother's parents in Sandwich, Kent.  The photo is signed on the back by Lea and dated 1940.  My mum had fond memories of her and said she was a lovely person.
Does anyone know how i can find out more about Lea?

I am in a real pickle trying to trace my husband's Burns ancestors.  His aunt is absolutely convinced that they are descended from Rabbie Burns the poet, which i think is highly unlikely!  I have looked at a website which lists all  Robert Burns' family and we definitely aren't there.  Anyway, i would like to prove it one way or another but am having huge problems as there seem to be swarms of Burns in Colton, Lancs and i can't work out who belongs to which branch.

This is what i have that is confirmed by certificates etc:
Jane Burns born 1869, father = Arthur Burns born 1838 married Mary Abbotson, his father = James Burns born 1815 married Margaret Rigg,his father =Arthur Burns married Ann born 1790

The James born in 1815 shows in the 1841 census and in his household are James Dawson and James Barrow.  From Family search i have found a Charlotte Burns born 1795 who had 2 husbands 1= John Dawson and 2=James Barrow. Also have Charlotte Burns(Barrow) and Mary Barrow (Burns) on the 1861 census.

 I have the marriage certificate for James Burns and Margaret Rigg and a James Dawson, Jane Burns and Mary Burns and John Nelson are the witnesses.

I really need to get definite info on the Arthur and his wife Ann born 1790 and then to trace back a generation or 2 so as to prove or not the Rabbie Burns thing.  My head is were called Burns, Dawson or Barrow!

I would really appreciate some clear thought on this

Thanks

my grandmother was Gladys Lilian Hodgman of Ramsgate who married Frederick Walter Faulkner of London. Inever knew her but have traced back to Alfred Davis Hodgman born 1830.  Any info on her and her husband gratefully received.  many thanks

looking for info on Louisa Miriam Greenaway born Exeter 1875 approx. She seems to have gone to the Muller Home in Exeter with her sisters, and then married William Henry Overy in Sandwich Kent in 1899.  She only shows on the 1901 census not on any previous. Her father may have been Henry Greenaway and her mother Mary Ann Bartlett.
