Title: The Fridays of Harbledown, Kent
Post by: Sands on Saturday 09 September 06 16:10 BST (UK)

I have an ancestor called Eleanor Friday b. abt 1806.  I believe she had a brother James b. abt 1800 who was a gardener.  Does anyone know about Eleanor's family please? ::)

Thank you SO much for that information Valda.  It looks a very strong possibility that James was her brother and Catherine her mother.  Sandra
