Mmmmmmmmmm,
Nope no Hannah threre. Let me have your email adress and I'll pass you over to the great sage of all things Mackreth.

My great uncle Frank did a great deal of research and spent a lot of time in the Lakes in the 1970s. The youngest of 6 sibblings he's still with us.
His work was followed up by the great sage herself and with the use of modern technology she has expanded on Frank Mackreth's works.

Hi Wendi,

Sometimes you don't appreciate things until they are no longer there! :(

Unfortunately my Great Uncles wife is not well and the lunch has been postponed until "Sometime in the new year". I do hope she's alright.

My grandad, and his brother (Her husband) fell out in 1965 and never spoke again. Her son tracked down my Mum from the anouncement in the Telegraph of my dads passing. We've yet to have the rebuilding of bridges but have spoken on the phone a few times.

I was fortunate enough to have a 102 year old relative until earlier this year. She too, was not a direct relative but (wait for it) my great Aunts "partner" since 1923! My great Aunt died in 2000.

Mackreth if you don't mind!    ;)

Many Mackreths in Wrexham. They came down from the Lake District (Grassmere) in the late 1700's, Before this they were Makereths, but due to the fact they couldn't read and write it got changed to Mackreth (pronounced Makreath) and stuck. Wrexham is a stronghold for them I think, very few elsewhere.
I've never done a search on ancestry for them though as I've picked up some work done by a family member, so I could be wrong
