Hi berri,

Richard and Lucy were my direct ancestors. Their son Job married Christiana Powell, and they had a son called William Francis Franklin, who was my g-grandfather. His son was Thomas Franklin who jumped the railway bridge in Coulsdon in 1957 (my grandfather).

I haven't been able to go any further back than Richard and Lucy, and I haven't looked into the marriages/children of Job's siblings.

Do you have a link to the book?

Hi and thanks for your reply. Wow a direct ancestor of yours is one of ours too. Nice to meet you!!

Thanks for the link, just ordered a copy

I've got a pretty incomplete record of the family (it's all in a GEDCOM file together with references to all the sources I've used), however we may be able to fill in some gaps on each others understanding. Would you like to swap info?

[berri]

Yes please!! what do you need from us?? Not great with tech stuff can we do this privately??

The book arrived today, but there was only a passing reference to the Franklins in it.
