Hi Shirley Valentine,

I am looking for info on the Fricker family of 31 Hodges Mount(c.1881 census) a very large family- so was really pleased to see your posting.
Do you have any photos or info to share of the street/people by any chance please as I gather the houses were knocked down?

thank you

Hi CJ,

Have a look at this link: http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=18160

You are probably right about the age of those houses - they do look rather 'modern'  compared to what you are looking for...

There are quite a few Healy's on family search: https://familysearch.org/search/records/index#count=20&query=%2Bgivenname%3Athomas~%20%2Bsurname%3Ahealy~%20%2Bany_place%3Aketley~&birth_year0=1800

Please cut/paste the links - I am new to this site and still finding my way around!!!

Happy hunting!

Hi Colin,

I think we are relations(distant ;-) ...currently researching the very same Maurice and Ellen (Cullen) Williams...of Bristol and Liverpool...which line of the siblings of these two do you come from?

My line is via their daughter Florence b.1885 she married Reginald Abbott...

email me and let me know if we are the same ancestry link!

thank you
