Hello

Have you entered your surnames into the Rootschat Surname Interest Table (SIT).
http://surname.rootschat.com/

I would recommend that you do, and at least that way other members who are searching the same names/areas as you will be able to make contact.

hi Lloydy,,, have had a look in there and its very confusing trying to actually see everyone on there, (need my glasses on).my maiden name was Mills and my Grandfather (James MIlls) married my Grandmother in Welshpool on 1905.my Grandfather came from northampton, so i dont think he is the same family of mills you have in your surname interests.. They moved to Shrewsbury in about 1910 and lived in Elm Street, Greenfields.    jean

hi  littlewolf,,, thanks for your post,,, my shortman relatives originate from Westbury-on-Trym,, just a quick run down as my grandaughter is running riot around the house and i need peace and quiet to remember the right order of names.Frances Kate Shortman( my   Great Grandmother   )          born Shrewsbury about 1878, her father Thomas Shortman born Westbury on Trym about 1850, his father Edward Shortman born Westbury on trym about 1832, his father Thomas Shortman born Westbury on Trym about 1801,  i think i got them in the right order. There are loads of offspring , some went to Australia, some went to Canada, hope this is the same relatives,,i do have some photos that i can scan and e- mail to you, just need to sort through them,,, best wishes,   jean
