Hello again,
Used Email address you sent to me but it was returned saying that that email address does not exist. Have double checked that it was sent in the exact form you provided it in with a friend and everything was in order. So i am sending you the text without my email address. I will provide it when I am able to send a PM.
Dear Mark,

I am so pleased you have responded to my message. I look forward to receiving your promised information. Thanks. Your partner,Tony is my cousin I assume. I saw Tom and Madge about ten years ago when we were in England.I heard via Xmas mail that Tom had died.Are you still living in Barcelona? I spent three weeks in Spain in the late nineties.
Regards,

 Shirley

My name is Shirley kathleen and I believe my mother was the Violet you mention in your entry Saturday 19th November 05. Kathleen known in the family as Liz or Mamie was married in 1913 and my mother was born in 1914. I believe Thomas and Kathleen were living in Deal in Kent when they first met and may have married there. My mother's sister was called Noreen and her brother Tom, but I know nothing of a Maud. I believe my grandmother originally came from Dublin but have not been able to trace birth record..

As far as I recallThomas and Kathleen moved from Hull to Withernsea when he left the navy to become a coast guard'before purchasing the "Spread Eagle " hotel
where I lived with them from 1935 to 1939. During the war we had little contact and I was summoned to my grandmother's bedside in 1951 to say goodbye. Thomas and kathleen died within two weeks of each other.

I would be delighted to learn of any mmore information you have on previous generations ofThomas and of  Kathleen Elizabeth in particular . And of course I am curious to know of the relationship between our two families.

I have been living in Australia for the last 47 years having migrated here in 1963.
Regards, Shirley
