Ha ha been passed down the line, theres a few in the tree. This branch as been on going for 5 years due to time but I think ive cracked it Henry was around 22 years older than his wife Mary and he must have lied a bit on his age, thought it was just the women

Hi thank you for your reply. I have a copy of the bonds, but cant go any further back on Henrys parents,  there seems to be two Henry's born a few months apart.

Hoping someone can help. I have 2 Henry Swaffins born in Brixham around 1780. Was looking for information on which one came to Wales. This Henry was a Captain and married Mary Gethin in Newport Wales. Many thanks

Sorry to bother you again would you happen to know where I could obtain details on my grand uncle John Andrews  (John Drews Nephew) he was killed near Overloom in Nov 1944. I am looking for a photo ect like the one with John Drew so it can be used by the cemetery there all the photos by the family have been lost.

Hi both,
John Drew b 1892  is the person he was killed in France in WWII in 1917.  Its the right person but had to question I had I got the correct wife/mother when I read the article. I have never been able to find anything on Margaret's family only her Mother.

Hi everyone,
Need some clarification on some information I have found. Been tracing some family in WW1 and WW2 I have newspaper details that my relations mother was Mary Drew nee Jones but I have in my tree a Margaret Thomas as the mother who married William Drew in 1881 Merthyr Tydfil on checking there is a Mary Jones married same day. On the 1891 cenus there a Margaret as wife and mother in law as well with the surname Thomas but there's a
Mary Jones as visitor. Is the newpaper wrong  many thanks
