Hi Karen, here is what i have.
Alice Atkins 1866-1913, married Ferdinand Phillips 1857=1889, they had a son William 1889=1890, she then married Henry John on 3/1/1894, their first chid was Henry b 1895, died 1896, John (Jack) b 1897=1985, Alice c 1900, who i believe died in the first year, then George 1903-1991. I have never heard of another brother, my Dad only ever spoke of Alice. Did you know your Dad had a older brother, George b 1921-1931?

Hi Hilda,
Sorry I have not been in touch for a while, work is very busy at the moment.
The good news is that Becky, my daughter, got into Portsmouth University and is enjoying it.
We will probably go down again in Jan/Feb time so nearer the time I will e-mail and organise to meet up with you again for a coffee.
Snowed in at the moment so am working from home, took five minutes out to look to see if anyone had got any further on the family history.
Went to see Asylum Road, where Thomas and Sarah lived, it is only ten minutes from where I work, unfortunately the house is not there any more, it has a 'Toys R Us' carpark over the top of it..great..!!
Hope all is well with your family, see you soon for a catch up.
Regards

Hi Andy,
Sorry i have been meaning to drop you a line too.
I had a very interesting 4 week course at the library, where we were shown the site for Ancestry , i didn't get anything on my Bowbrick line but i found a few interesting things on my Mcpherson line which is my Mum's direct line.
So i am hoping by going to the library to do some research i may have a bit more success on our Bowbrick line.Also they actually do a course on how to use the Ancestry website, it's only a 2 week course but i think it must be worth doing.
It will be great to see you both again , you know you are both welcome to come to my hopuse for a drink and even a piece of homemade cake if you want, but obviosly whatever is easier for you.
I'm glad your daughter got into uni o.k. i hope she is liking it down here.
speak to you soon .
all the best Hilda.
