Good morning,
This is a bit of a long shot from UK. I have just discovered some new relations on the Fletcher side of my family who's origins are in the West Country and we are now trying to piece together some loose ends. I believe Emily Fletcher is my Great Aunt and my Cousin believes there is history of Emily marrying in S.A. Most of the documents we have point to this being the same Emily as your relation, the dates are slightly out but that would probably be down to errors on ship's passenger lists and some on Census returns. We would be highly delighted if you were able to supply any documents, birth certificates, marriage certificates, death certificates etc. that would give names of Emily's mother and father etc. Also, we believe that Emily and Joseph lived only a short distance away from each other and we would like to know what prompted them, if they ARE, the couple we are looking for, to emigrate to S.A. Was Joseph in the armed forces? There is a recollection by another family member that Emily married a soldier.
We look forward with anticipation if you are able to assist us to add another fascinating episode in the life of our family(s).
Kind regards,
Andy Fletcher
