Hi
I hope people are still around who created this thread
... I have just been searching Lavinia Emma Urne when I stumbled upon this thread in a Google search and I noticed the mention of a Rebecca searching for her and her father James..... I think that may have been me unless someone else called Rebecca is searching too, what a coincidence that would be..... I was on Genes Reunited many years ago and had her listed in some of my information and the fact that I was searching for her..... My membership lapsed and on top of that I had found a bit of a nasty side to Genealogy with some people so I decided to cancel my membership at GR and just fly solo.
Elsie, I'd love to know your cnnection to James....... Lavinia Emma Urne is my Great Great Grandmother. Lavinia was born 23 October, 1845 Islington London and married Thomas Shepherd in 1869, Thomas and Lavinia's child Annie Mary Shepherd is my Great Grandmather who married Arthur Thompson, Arthur and Annie's child Leonard Thomas Thompson is my Grandfather..... There is very little information on James I have come across and if anyone has been able to add any further to him I would be most grateful to have contact with them..... What I have found about the Urne family name is that it originates in Cornwall, not sure if anyone else has information or that connection too but I'd love to chat and see if we could substantiate that information.
Cheers in Advance .... Bec
