A "Eureka" moment!!
« on: Saturday 08 April 06 22:57 BST (UK) »
Yes folks, i've just had my first Eureka moment and i'm not sure where to post it !!

I've found the answer to 4, yes,4 different current puzzles.

I've been looking for a husband to Catherine Hughes and found him.
1901 census shows--
 1--Catherine/Kate/ husband as John Wesley Barker which solves the following--
2--A  photo i have with an "uncle Barker" written on it.
3 --A photo i have with a "Mabel" written on [she's in census too]
4--Father in law and a sister in law, also on census which confirms 
    a family connection for me. All the birth dates and birth places match. YAHOOOOO ;D ;D ;D ;D
                   Poli

p.s and a father's name for "cousin Lilian"
