      Hello Wendy,long time no root chatting...I have moved into sheltered housing  and been unfit for anything ever since...Did you ever get to the bottom of the Upright court  case at Clerkenwell...would love to have some info...that old rogue...all the family around that time were the same,my Grandfather Edmund Bidgood Upright included...I was on genesconnect with most of my tree ,supplied by Jim from the Canadian branch,but I must have fallen foul of Genes because the tree has disappeared from the site and they want me to start all over again...it took me 5 years to do the first one and with my health as it is right now,I am not able to sit at this machine for very long,,,HO HUM !! the joys of getting older..by the way...I am not Melvin..I am Anna..Melvin-Upright was my birth surname...I think it really should have been plain Upright but my Father James Frederick Melvin -Upright had delusions of grandure..and why not !!!  (my poor brother was named Melvin John Francis Melvin-Upright.....)

Hello, I am an melvin- Upright born...My Father was James Frederick Melvin-Upright ..His Father was Edmund Bidgood Melvin-Upright..My brother is Melvin John Francis Melvin -Upright.....bit of a theme going here...Your Thomas Theophilus is one of mine...can not remember who or how ,too much paperwork...LOL.....There were two sides to the family that were on the stage....The Granville-Uprights and the Melvin-Uprights....bit of bad blood I understand between brothers or cousins or something.We Melvin looked down on the Granvilles and they upon us...Would like to keep in touch with anyone who is an Upright,because we are all related to the ones that came from Devon......
