So what would you do?

[Anthony Morris]

I have no problem with my mothers request and will do as she asked even though I do wonder about it from time to time.
If Andy wants to pursue it that is fine as well but as her son I will do as she requested all those years ago on that summers day.

Hi Anthony, so pleased to hear that you are willing to abide by your mothers wishes.

In our case I had a brother and sister who for their own peace of mind needed to know certain facts and our research did indeed lay some demons to rest for them.  Knowing what we do now gives us an insight as to why Mum wanted things buried and there are still some un-answered questions but we're happy to leave things as they are.

Hi Anthony,

I am sorry but lostnconfused email is not working at the moment but I have found a postal address and I sent a copy along with a letter explaining how to get back in touch.

Posted Today.

Hi folks,

After receiving a rather pleasant note from Sarah I have updated the email address so personal messages/notifications will now land where they need.

Thanks Sarah ;-)

Hello Tony,

I understand how things will be different for you as of course Nana was a much bigger part of your life.

I don't understand what you mean by "what she requested all those  years ago on that summers day" as you have never mentioned any sort of conversation you had with Nana when we chatted about family history?

I know Dad was very frustrated in his last few months as we had never been able to answer the questions he was asking and he, at that time, really wanted to know more and find the answers that we have struggled to get close to.

It also intrigues me as to how you stumbled across this rather old thread ;-)

Cheers

Andy

If you put a name into your search box, it will often bring you to Rootschat, so simple ,unlike your Grandmothers birth details, I did have a few thoughts , but your post was a bit difficult to start , try again with  the simple facts, that you think may be true, I did find a baptism that may be worth taking further,

Wrong father there as well as wrong dates.

Its all rather frustrating.
