Hi
Thank you for your reply
yes Thomas was born in 1827 and his sister Katherine wrote the letter and they was born 1825 in Hampshire along with their other sister elizabeth (1826). Their father Thomas was born about 1792, although he states he was born in Middlesex on the 1841 census i am not so sure. according to the letter his father was also Thomas from Liverpool and his mother was Elizabeth and her parents was Frances Tyrell and John/Thomas Foster. But Elizabeth had been married before to an army officer (no name given)
I have taken about 20 years off each person so that would make frances and John/Thomas born about 1750ish.
Also according to the letter there is a connection with the Hollingsworth's and the Glyn Banking family. I have been trying to solve this letter for quite a few years now with no luck.
Many Thanks again
Jan
