hi again shelly, the only sister my grandfather had was also named Martha so i take it that it was her who married Charles Burns, the Burns' i mentioned before as part of the family were not blood relatives, Charles burns' mother named Mary was a friend of my family and who lived with my grandmother when they both became widows.
my father grew up calling Mary, Granny Burns.
so Martha(II) & Charles were both born here and they emigrated sometime before 1937 which is when Martha(I) went to join them, Martha(II) was born in 1903.
lol sorry the info is a bit haphazard i am writhing it just as it is coming to me. thanks again for making time for me Shelly, xoxo Warren.
