hi Hepburn.
Thanks alot for your reply.
GERTRUDE BRILL,is my nan.

My mum used to visit the beech family in Paddock Wood,kent.

Nan could well have been born out of wedlock,she always thought she was a Barnados chid,but since her passing in 1992,a little info suggests otherwise.
Mum knew a lady by the name of,CISELY ,(mum always called her,aunt cis),ediths sister?i think.
Could aunt cis,be gertrudes mother?

Thanks again for your email,chris.

Hi Chris,
I am the great Grandson of Charles & Annans Beech who lived at the address that you showed.

Unfortunately I have info. that strongly suggests your Grandmother, Gertrude, is not related to the Beech family.  I believe that the funeral that your mother attended about 8 years ago was that of Edith Amy commonly known as Dop.  The lady that your mother spoke to is my Aunt the Granddaughter of Charles & Annans, who was bridesmaid at Gertrude & Albert's wedding.

My Great Grandparents only fostered two children, Girtrude & Jim, they had 3 children of their own, Charles (my Grandfather),  Ellen and Alfred who was killed in WW1. Ellen was known by the family as Sis (short for sister) which has probably been mistaken for Cicely.  Dop was the daughter of Sis and a Mr Daniels who never married Sis.  Sis did marry a Mr Norman.

I hope that this info. is useful.
