Trying to find my G,G,G,G,Grandfather

[lisachloe]

According to the news report of her suicide she was of "Unsound Mind" & had gone away - maybe the local lunatic asylum?
We also discovered that her mother a Hannah Slee was thrown out of her house for running a brothel! - so Ellen didn't have much going for her in her short life.
As for having a child by her brother in law it was a tale my g,grandmother(Phyllis) was told by the family who looked after her. This Mr Dyson had a pub in wakefield called The Dyson & everytime my mother was with her she would say her dad used to own that pub, although she never met him but, he was married to her older sister.
i never met my g,grandmother as she died in 1970.

Amazing thank you ever so much, I just hope my grandmothers still awake to give her the good news -Thanks again

This has to be them as my G,G,Grandfather was called Lorenzo & had a brother called Simpson & we could never work out why he was called Simpson Gomersall - he emigrated to New Zealand pre 1939 to a sheep farm.
