Hampshire & Isle of Wight / Re: Humby of Portsmouth

So first cousins once removed?  Your aunt was my grandmother and my mum  your cousin so I think that works.  I have quite a lot of research on the Humby side as my other first cousin once removed whose dad was Joe Humby (Arthur's brother) looked into it but don't know much about the Smith side except for late Great Uncle Harry who lived near me in Trowbridge and I used to visit him, take him meals for the freezer and take him shopping and to the pub for lunch.  He'd lost his wife Ellen when I hooked up with him and was a bit independent but came to our house in Bath for Sunday lunch a few times and shared a passion for motorbikes with my late husband.  He was such a lovely man.  My mum and dad, Roy and Betty Brown, both died in Dunfermline where they moved to from Bath for the MOD at Rosyth.  Dad died 25 years ago this year and mum 18 years ago.  Their ashes were scattered together there at the crematorium.  As far as I know her brother is still alive and has children and grandchildren.

Arthur died in the New Forest at Sandyballs as they retired there from Pompey.  Dora died in a flat in Portsmouth where her son put her and both their ashes were scattered at Sandyballs.  Fill you in on the rest by PM!  Interested to know who you are and why the interest.

I can't send you a PM until I have done 3 posts apparently?  This makes 2! ;)

I have just found this while Googling around and I am Arthur's granddaughter, Betty's daughter if you are still looking?
