None of my family went to India but the US and Australia went. I met a distant cousin from Oz when she came over with her family in 2008.

Hi,
It seems to be the same Andrew James Keltie as I have copy of Will and date of death 19th Aug 1925 in Launceston Tas.  He is my great-great grandfather.  Any information would be appreciated as I don't know where he was born - only that he married Sarah Jamieson.

18th June 2010 ???


All my relatives are British but have a few who ventured abroad. Re; French interest. My Great Aunt,

Mary Jane Nangle married a Gustave Emile McBride in Manchester, England in 1903  . Gustave was born

 in Charleville Alsace in 1884 & died in Barnsley, Yorkshire 1947. His Father's name was James.

 Applied to the Mayor of Charleville for Birth Certificate ( Archives ) with all relevant info; but 6 weeks

later have heard nothing.

My Maternal Great Grand- Father, Thomas Joseph Nangle, Father of Mary Jane, had 6 children but

decided he had had enough of married life so took himself off to Australia, this is only family gossip,

but he returned home only to depart for South Africa where he died in Cape Town in 1946.

Dear Rabbit
It's Wirksworth in Derbyshire - where my mother was born.  Bet you know that already.  There's a terrific web-site for it though, which should be really useful to you.

Hi Derby Girl,

I have never heard of this place, I know nothing about that part of England except that I have a very dear friend who came from Derby.  She now lives in my area.

Re the 'relis', I know very little about those either.  I hit a brick wall when I posted on the site which covers Burton on Trent.

I hope that we are on the same wavelength here?  ???

Dear Rabbit
www.wirksworth.org.uk is the most brilliant site - as I say my mother was born there so I've looked at it quite a bit - I'm sure if you have rellies there it will help you.  It is a town at the foot of the Peak District in Derbyshire and in ancient times (including Roman) was an important centre for lead mining.

Dear Rabbit
We're talking about Ince's Pedigrees then - I just took a quick look at the site.  Sorry Rabbit - I just realised it's Aja who's interested here.
Apologies
