this is abit awkward and i'm not sure what to do next.
My nans dad so my great grandfatehr married my nans mum (obvs.) he went away to war (WW2) and wrote to say he had met another woman and wouldn't be returning, he did return albeit breifly to try and get a divorce but my nans mum wasn't having any of it.
anyway he set up home with another woman, i am not sure if they actually married, children were produced and all contact was 'lost' with our family.
anyway i have been doing my family tree for awhile now and had limited information for my great grandfather but was finding more and more out about his family but not him.
my tree is on GR and i contacted someone on there with his sister in her tree.
I said i think we are connected, but did not tell her the full stroy as i was not sure if we were 'hidden' and i told her the name of a cousin of my nans and where the parents of my great grandfather (and his sister) lived in the 1950's also a husband for another sister, and where this sister lived and worked at one time. all of this info. matched hers but she now says she is not related to us, i must have her confused with someone else.
there are just too many matches for it to be wrong.
my great grandfather died after WW2 and before 1955, i have narrowed the years down to these as my nan was still working and she had her first children (they were twins) in 1956
she said ' my dad was dead for 5 years before we found out and another woman was cashing his pension but my mum never did claim the money back'
so where do i go from here? we would like contact with this side of the family.
