Hi Motorbikerdave , thanks for the additional information on the Harrison’s.
I believe we’ve “ spoken” before on ancestry. I’ve just sent you another message.

I’m still looking for any pictures of any of the bakers/ confectioners shops but I think that’s a lost cause nowadays. I believe I have some recipes from when Mary Harrison had the coffee tavern in Eastwood . Any information, family tales / stories/ pictures would be great . I have a fair amount of names/ dates,  basic information but would like to put meat on the bones. That’s what makes the family tree come alive .

Hi Tony , what line are you descended? Robert Eglington had a lot of siblings . Any information on any of the Eglington's would be most welcome.
Kind regards
Daisy .

Thanks Brenda for getting in contact.I too found Jeniffer's tree and got a lot of information I'd not been able to get before on the Canada side of the tree. My branch is of Adam's brother John who remained in England. I have a few letters what Adam wrote to his mum Jane and brothers which gives an in site to how difficult life was for him and the family.I've not been able to get much further back in the tree but there may have been a third brother who was in the same regiment as Adam and John Heron who were both killed at Waterloo.This other possible sibling William Heron survived.Not yet got more details.But he was born in the same area and a weaver before joining up.

Take care Daisy.

Thanks Mole for your help. I've tried UK GRO and not found anything,also can't find her on any  other passenger lists so she might well have stayed in England. There isn't any trace anywhere that i can find unless she married in late in  life.

I'm looking for any information on Rebecca Fenn born 1860 Warwickshire England. In 1891 she was working as a cook for the Green family in Hendon Middlesex.Sarah's parents were James Fenn and Elizabeth nee Lawrence.It's believed she went to South Africa with the Green family .One of the son's was Fred W E Green a physician later known as W . Eldridge-Green inventor of lantern to determine colour blindness.
Rebecca's was on the passenger list to England in 1934 , her nephew W J Taylor of Birmingham was enquiring into her whereabouts in 1902.
Did she go back to South Africa?Where did she die? Is a will available and where would i find it?
Help!!!!!
