Hi Suz

That is brilliant news.  I'm so pleased for you and your friends.

Hi i would love your info as working on my Aunt Carol and Uncle Brians family tree. I have been tracking back on the Wordsworth side. My mum...Bills step daughter by marriage ( she is second wife Doris daughter) was in close contact with Eileen when i was a baby. Eileens daughters were called Linda and Jean.
Are we related ?

Hi my mum was June Longs step sister. She was almost 1 yr old when joan killed.  My aunt Carol and Uncle Brian are herhalf siblings.  William wordsworth Long was their father.  It was his second marriage. To Doris Long nee Richardson.  Sadly William died around June 1956. William was born in Ulverston in Lakes District. Prior to joining army,  the Royal Lancashire Regiment, he was a butchers apprentice. 3 children in first marriage. I know Eileen gave me a toy called Rosy when i was just a baby. I was born 1963. She did children Linda and Jean. These may be the nieces you are looking for.

Though my Aunt and Uncle are half siblings

Hi my name is Beverley Dowling and do have some info from ancestry plus doing DNA.

I will try to compile some of it as the family is HUGE.

I have also connected with Barbara in Orlando...another relative.

Back to Elizabeth ..ive just closed computer for the night so will check tomorrow.

I forgot to say that William long, father of Joan, died when my mum was seven.

I think she was born 1943 as she was 20 when I was born in 1963.

I also have information on Joan including photo lifted directly from police files as her case was noted in their ?centenary as first time a post mortem photo was used to try and catch murderer.

Hi Bill Longs father William married inthe 1940s to a woman he met in Blackpool called Dorothy and they lived in Bristol She took the name Long. Dorothy died around 1976. In this marriage they had three children . So Bill Long actually had half brothers and sisters. Not sure why he did not knkw about them but I think he and his sister Eileen had left family to forge their own lives by time their father married. I am not sure but there may have been disapproval as not that long after loss of their mum.

 The eldest daughter of his new wife Dorothy was adopted by father of gentleman you are referring to. This is my mum. Dorothy had two other children to William  a girl and a boy who are still very much alive and well with children and grandchildren

.. Bill Long is my uncle. His father William is my grandad. Sadly he died when my mum young  so I never knew him.   

 I have come across this post as I am trying to get some more info on that side of the family as they seemed to dissappear abd were not part of their half brother/sisters life. I think they were already adults and left home ...apart from Joan.. when my grandparents married.  My auntie talked about how we are related to William Wordsworth and also had newspaper clippings on Joan murder.
