Hi everyone. Ii just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who have given me so much information over the past few years since I lost my mum 8 years. I didn't know where else to turn to. So I began to ask for help. I must admit that I could have been a pain. Probably kept asking the same question over and over. That's only because I couldn't remember what I asked as I was new to the group or site

I must admit though I felt like just giving up. But something told me not to. I remembered what my mum said.
Never give up on anything. If you can't find what you are looking for it's probably because it's in front of you but you can't see it.  In a way those words made me carry on. Because I started this for my mum before she passed away. As she asked me to help her.
She told me what she knew.
So I've been trying to find out ever since 2017.  And because of my DNA. And with the help I've had trying to understand it all. What I've been looking for for over 8 years. It's been found. When I was told about my gran. I couldn't believe it. I ended up crying and saying thank you to my mum for what she said. It's just a shame I can't tell her.
I know she would be so proud of me for carrying on with her quest.

It's like a birthday present for me coming early.

So I want to say thank you so much to everyone. Including isobel.
At the moment I'm trying not to cry.

Thank you everyone.
Kind regards
Dorothy

Hello everyone.
I'm trying to find out how to get a copy of my birth records from a hospital I was born in. It was crossley. Apparently the hospital was ran by the salvation army
 My mum had me in 1957 she was a unmarried mum. But living with my dad who apparently was still married waiting for his devorce to come through. They eventually got married when I was 3 years old.

Please can anyone help me as I have been trying to find out about my birth records.
To see if I was born with a medical issue that wouldn't have been detected because they wasn't looking for it.

If anyone can help me anything.
I would really appreciate it

Thank you again for your help and your time
Kind regards
Dorothy

Good morning everyone.
I'm not sure how if possible if anyone can help me with something I'm trying to find.
As you know I've been doing my family research for a while now quite a few years ago I was kindly sent a 1911 Scottish census. In the Cencus it has my grans name down as Eva Barrett and her adopted parents David joesph Schulman and his wife Annie.
Apparently my gran Eveline was born in Aberdeen  we knew apparently her birthday is 26th February 1911.
But recently I have been told /it's been suggested that she could have been born either 1905 or 1906

I have a great aunt who has told me what she was told but could be rumour.
My gran was left on the door step of Annie and her 1st husbands  they both took her in.   So I questioned myself. If this is true. How would they know my grans birthday. Unless Annie is the biological mother of my gran. I'm only thinking about it.

So I thought if only I could find out 2 addresses for each.
The address of where Annie and David was living. And the address of where Annie and her 1st husband was living before either they split up or when Annie's 1st husband passed away.

I came up with the idea last night. It's been bothering me all night.
So I thought why not ask for help by the ones who know what they are doing.
Maybe  I will get the addresses maybe not.
But at least I would know.

So I'm hoping if at all possible if someone can help me. I don't know where to start with this.
Thank you all again for your help and your time. I really appreciate it.
Kind regards
Dorothy

Hello again everyone.
I'm not sure what part of the forum to ask for help with.
As everyone knows that I have been looking for my great grandfather Samuel Benjamin Cooper.
Well recently I've had a few comments on Facebook group about a post I did on angel meadow manchester slums
I. Wasn't expecting anything about what im
About to ask.
My brother is one of people who commented on my pictures.
It was only then I found out according to him. We have ancestors connected to angel meadow manchester slums.
So I asked him who they were.
He said the hole family died and he told me who 2 of them were.
Samuel Cooper and Hannah. He didn't say what Hannahs maiden name is.
But a very kind lady who has been helping me over the years. Found me some cencus. One was the 1851 census and the 1861 census.
On both of them Hannahs names are different. 1961 census says Anna and she's a widow. 1851 she's Hannah.
Hannah is now Hannah Pearson born in 1820. Samuel Cooper is born 1818.
So what I did was tell my brother that Hannah is called Hannah Pearson. He said its wrong it's Hannah Bentley.

So I asked him again about what happened to our ancestors. Apparently Hannah and Samuel had a few children one is called John. According to my brother John is my great grandfather Samuel Benjamin Coopers uncle.

But he still hasn't told me anything else about my ancestors. All he has said is. He's not going through it again. And I'm to get my helpers as he's doing his own research.
To be honest I don't think any of what he's told me is true. That's why he won't tell me anything.
Apparently there address was 4 walkers croft. But I've recently been told it's 4 walkers court Manchester. I think it's classed as Angel meadow.
For the last few days I've been trying to find out about my ancestors. Who they were and what happened to them. Did they all die at once or separately. By the sounds of the 1861 census Hannah /Anna survived. But I don't know anything else.
My brother just refuses to help me on what he says he knows. He won't even answer any comments I make.

So I thought I would ask the ones who have been very helpful to me over the past few years.
I. Just hope I can find out.
It's driving me daft not being able to get any answers from my brother.
Please can anyone help me with this.
I really appreciate any help.
Thank you all again for your help and your time.
Kind regards
Dorothy
