Is it possible that I have any relations emanating from Barnsley, I cannot trace anybody still alive. My great grandfather was Thomas who was born around 1855 in Barnsley and had a brother called Malcolm born about 2 years later. I believe Malcolm died around 1880 in Barnsley, whereas Thomas (or Tom) moved to Blackpool about 1870 and died there in 1900. My grandfather William, the only surviving son (b. c1886) had only one son Eric, my father (born 1922) and I am the only child.
Strangely, I have a postcard addressed to my grandfather in 1903 from Aunt and uncle E and M Gomersall in Barnsley. I have no idea who these people can be as there is no evidence of the existence of any other relatives in Barnsley at that time.
I would be extremely grateful for any help.
Thanks,
Stepen Gomersall, Blackpool.
