Hello Sarah,
I would be very pleased to receive the photos and any information on any of our family members. I have been working on the family tree since 1972, and I greatly appreciate you taking time to provide the information. I have followed my fathers family back to the mid 1700s, and have visited many of the areas in which they lived and worked. I was very close to my grandfather Nixon and it was said in the family that he was seen always with a dog to one heel and me at the other. I inherited his love of animals and the outdoors, and as a child I heard first hand his stories of his time served in India, his love for his native Ireland, and wasin Dublin at Easter time 1916 when the Post Office was taken over in the name of the Republic, and in 1995 I visited Dublin and stood at the same site. He met my grand mother on that same leave whilst recovering from wounds, the bullet he carried with him to death in 1957. His son John served in a Scottish Regiment, and married a Scots girl. They had 2 children, XXXX My mother XXXX I gave up my career to take care of my late father, and moved to Scotland 2004.
I am driving down to England tomorrow, on leave for 10 days, and taking with me family photos for my daughter to scan into the laptop. Hopefully I will be able to forward them on to you. Over the years I have rescued family photos and documents, questioned living relatives, and read up history local to the family homes. We do share a very interesting family and I have alway thought it important that the stories should be passed on, and that the information gives many answers as to how our own character has developed.
Will be in touch on my return from England.
Peace and love,
Greraldine.
