Hello Stuart I'm in the process of sending you the family tree and photographs I found two items on Oscar which I'll send along with the copies of Birth Marriage certificates I have I'll email you my email address tomorrow take care alice

Hy just a quick question when you mention Gwersyllt Church do you mean Holy Trinity or are they two separate churches and that applies to burials as well  regards Alice

Thank you that was really interesting I have been researching my family trees for about twelve years now Emilys first husband Thomas was a blacksmith but Thomas Hubert depending on which census he's on was  a miner I didnt know about Stanley my mum told me that Emilys second husband left her when she went blind  Emilys mother was Sarah Davies and her father was William Davies Thomas's father was Also Thomas I have marriage certificate for Emily and her mother as soon as I can I'll send you the photos I have, at the moment my son has them as he is airbrushing them to get the creases and marks out but I will see him at the weekend I think over the years the story might have got mixed up about a mayor of Bradley it sounds more likely it is what you said about Oscar the reason I asked about York was because my mum told me yrs ago that her mum ( my gran) was married by her own  father as he was a vicar but she couldn't have been  as he had died and she didnt get narried till 1920  so I dont know why York Minster was mentioned sometimes the family stories are like chinese whispers I know a member of her family died at Gresord collery it might have been emilys brother but I'm not sure and yes I would love a copy of the recording thank you for your help and hope to hear from you soon and maybe we can keep in touch,   Alice

I knew Emily was married twice her first husband was Thomas and her second husband was thomas Hubert he was a great deal younger than her she was also diabetic and lost her sight in later years and she had two or three children to him do you know anything about a connection to York Minster or a cousin who was the Mayor of Bradley I,ve only been able to search back to 1851 as there aren't any census for 1941 I was told that those census never made it to London as far as I know they were those from Denbighshire also you mentioned a drawing of oscar was that done by a relation of the family my uncle was a brilliant artist so is my brother I,m not bad but not as good as them my mum always said I take after Emily as she had a sewing machine and made her sons shirts I to enjoy sewing 

Thank you so much for such an interesting letter oddly enough my mother always wanted to be a teacher she passed the 11plus but her mother (my gran ) apparently told her she was needed at home to help with her younger brother and sisters so she left school aged my  14,Yes please I would love some photos of my mums family I,m not to sure about The Rockafella story I was told that Gertrude Had married late in life to a wealthy jewish man who owned either Shoe shops or shoe factories and I have her in the american census as a cook for a family in New York I was also told she lived in Coney island at one point my gran was a lovely women I was 18 when she died aged just 69 in 1983also I think Oscar died the year after but I might be wrong if thats true then  i dont think it could have been her you met, named after my mum who was given her grans second name of Alice  Hope to hear from you soon Take Care
