Hi Kyra
We can't discuss living people on Rootschat (to protect their privacy) but if they are no longer living and you post some details (dates, places) we can try to help you find them
Kind regards, Arranroots ;)

Hi thanks 4 getting back 2 me,
I only know a few that have died, i dont know about them all, these r the 1s i know about :
Ned (1st world war in Torbuk) n Ben (served in in ww2 at Dunkirk) Stevenson died in the war.
Ambrose Stevenson died at age 21
Andrew Stevenson died at age 4of Meningitis
i have only the dates of 2 members of the family that say they were born in 1930/1931 so at a guess i would say the others were born round that time.
Allan Clappen was married 2 Barbara Stevenson he died last year don`t know what year Barbara died,thats all i know about them.
my Grandparents have both passed away the dates r at the bottom, i think they were married in the year 1930 i dont know anything about where they came from b4 they setteled in Bradford, they had 6 boys n 3 girls named Joe 10/2/1932(died 06), Bill, Ned 10/4/1938(died 05?), Mark 14/7/1943(died 07),Ambrose 00/7.1935(died at age 21), John,Jane, Hellen 00/7/1934(died 04/05) n Margaret Burnside.
I dont know any dates of when my gggrandparents died.
great aunt Ellen developed rheumatic fever round 1925 so was still travaling then, dont know if that will help with anything.Its round about then that the family setteled in Bradford.Maude Burnsied lived in Ashton near Manchester, Violet lived in Otley n had a son Freddy The Fly.
My grandma used 2 live on Exeter Street at 1 time.
The Stevenson`s used 2 gather at the Airdale pub down Otley Road n sometimes the Cock n Bottle in Bradford

Lovely pictures Kyra! 8)
I think I will move this to the Travelling People board, where you should get more help - meanwhile do you have any of the certificates for the relatives you mention?
If you have your grandparents' marriage certificate, for example, that would get you a start on researching further back.
Kind regards, Arranroots ;)
