Julie, are you looking for contacts in US or UK?

Hi….I’ve already had a good look through the background thread , very helpful. I’m looking for relatives in the UK and USA . I’ve made good ground in the USA so far 👍 . Thanks

IF you have access to ancestry, here is a link to an extensive family tree (one of many) which shows most of Sybil's siblings going forward...........should give you some good contacts for relatives.

I will sign up for ancestry and have a look at that link. It sounds like it will answer things for me. Thanks again

Yes I see you posted there. I gave the link for others who might want to help.

You could always do a 14 day free trial but cancel it after a few days. Still gives you the full 14 days.
Or follow instructions on this thread to get the cheapest available offer for 12 month memberships.
Sometimes you have to try the link a few times to get the right screen to come up, it can be temperamental.
Should roughly be something like £59-99 for 12 months UK and £89-99 for 12 months worldwide access.

Hi I am looking for Sybil Wilson's father who I think was William Keeling b 1875 Hanley Staffordshire
Can you help.

The original poster states that Sybil was originally from Buxton in Derbyshire. The only one I can see that is most likely is one whose father is Thomas. She appears to be one of nine children.
Living at 83 Bennett St Buxton, Buxton, Derbyshire in the 1911 census. Thomas is a farm labourer.
Registration district Chapel En Le Frith
Thomas' marriage:-
Marriages Mar 1884
Chappell Mary Emma Chapel le F. 7b 945
Keeling Thomas Chapel En Le Frith 7b 945
Sybil's birth record:-
KEELING, SYBIL CHAPELL
GRO Reference: 1900 D Quarter in CHAPEL-EN-LE-FRITH Volume 07B Page 761
Is this going to be the same Sybil that Julie is researching?

Hi….with regards to the info re Sybil’s Father. I can confirm that Thomas and Mary Emma were indeed her parents . Sybil was my Grandad’s Sister. My Grandad’s name was Richard (Dick) Keeling .
-
So Henery seems to have got a bit muddled with who he thought Sybil's father was.
-
Hi Henery…..I can confirm that a gentleman named Thomas was Sybil’s Father and Mary Emma nee Chappell was her Mother . Thomas died April 18th 1923. Their headstone is in Buxton Cemetery.
