Title: Beresfords
Post by: articskua on Thursday 13 September 12 22:46 BST (UK)
I am trying to find out about a John Beresford, of Glenmavis, who married a Jane Graham, not sure if she also came from Glenmavis. One of their children was Elizabeth Beresford, who was born in 1894 and died in 1970 in Sandwick, Shetland. I think John Beresford was a general merchant. Any information about John and Jane would be greatly appreciated.  Linda

My goodness! I've just found all your replies. Thank you all so much! I will sit down later and have a closer look at them.  I am very much new to Roots Chat, I can see I will have to use it more often!  I will get back to you shortly again. Delighted for the moment. Linda
