Marriage of John LANE & Ellen MADIGAN 1870, Walton, St Mary, Liverpool

Hi Junie,
Brilliant Brilliant.  I am so overcome that we have made contact that I can barely write something.  I have been researching my Lane family for 30 years and only a few years ago, when I posted here that I had made any headway.  And I have made even more advances since 2013 when I posted this thread. 

Also I know Tweed Heads very well, in fact my grand father, another John Lane, and his family are buried in the local cemetery.  The family lived in nearby Coolangatta.  I shall gather my stuff together so that we can piece this family together.  It is bedtime now, not that I will sleep much now, but I shall contact you tomorrow.

Also, Junie, if you make two more posts, even if to say Hello, we can then exchange our email addresses - one of Rootschat rules.  Gazania

Hi Gazania, I'm sooo excited too!!

We've lots to exchange re what we know about our Lane family connection :-)

I'm not 100% sure but I think John Lane being our Great Great Grandfather makes us 3rd cousins!

Oh, and forgot to mention, I'm coming over to visit again in Nov :-) Yeh, I know Coolangatta well. Love Rainbow Bay 

I had hit a brick wall with my trying to find out about John Lane and thought I was going to have to pop over to Cork to the records office and see if I could find out information. Anything you can share with me will be very much appreciated.
