Is Elizabeth your Gt Grandmother ?
Does John's death cert contain any useful information.

Whereabouts are you ?
I live in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire.

My mother was Annie Elliot, daughter of Joseph Elliot and Annie Temple.
Annie Temple was the daughter of James Shiel and Ann Forsythe.

Regards

Margaret,

Our Gt Grandmothers were sisters.
I think that makes us 3rd cousins.
After 2 years of searching you are the first blood relative I have found.

I would be very grateful if you would let me have scans of any documents you have.
Do you have any info on the other 6 siblings ?
