Hi borofred,

My name is Susan Gilgallon.  This is the fourth time I have tried to reply, the first tthree got timed out in posting.  I daren't write more than a sentence or two.  We left Middlesbrough in 1969, most of my mother's immediate family (Etherington/Joneses) were in Australia so it seemed like a good idea at the time.

I tried to attach Louisa's birth certificate to begin with but for the sake of actaully getting a reply through I won't try it this time.

This is my first post so apologies in advance.  I believe my great-grandmother lived there, she was William Whittaker's daughter, Louisa. I've been looking for a way to reply to borofred as I have been researching William Whittaker for months. I don't know whether this is the spot to talk about what I know.  Suffice to say for now that I had just reached the same conclusion about his father when I googled "william whittaker publican" on the off-chance and came across borofred's posts with almost exactly the same information. Spooky! :o

I have his marriage certificate which states his father was William and a waiter at the time, about 1850.

If borofred would like to contact me we could compare notes,  where should we post? Perhaps on the thread where you first asked about him?
