Hi Adele
            Ive tried to email you but for some reason they keep getting returned.I came across your family tree on the genealogy web site.On it youv'e put John Riddell & my mother as married.They we're NEVER married.You also say that John Riddell was the father of Sandy,Evelyn.Edward & the fourth child unknown.He was definitely NOT the father of Evelyn & the fourth child Billy.I have the research to prove this & if you get in touch I'll give it to you.I really don't think you should put anything on you're family tree unless it has been thoroughly researched & known to be true as it can be upsetting & missleading to this & future generations.Ive been in touch with your dad a few times & hopefully we will meet when he returns from Canada.

Unfortunately most Genealogy programmes do not have a way of showing that parents of a child are unwed or that children have a different parent from the other.

I will however try to update my site and put in there that they were not married. I was not aware that Evelyn and Billy had been added with John Riddell as their father. Again it will be down to the limitations of the programme I used to put the tree online. I don't have details of Evelyns parentage other than her mum nor for Billy but I will attempt to rectify this too and would be very greatful if you could send me any details to add to it. This may help the programme to actually upload the correct information

I agree it is misleading though and I'm very grateful you did point it out.

I have no idea why my messages are being bounced back. I'm not recieveing any notification of postings at the minute either. Will check that out now to see what is wrong.

Speak to you soon and I'm glad Dad eventually got in contact with you all too

hugs
Adele
