Hi Brenda

Thanks for coming back to me so quickly.  Yes, I have seen your tree on Ancestry and sent you an email about it.  I wondered where you found out about Ann Eliza's Dad Robert Smith's parents and grandparents?  I didn't have anything about them.

You say about an Aunt who travelled with the fair - do you mean an aunt of Ann Eliza's? That's interesting about the coconut shy! 

Yes, I knew about Thomas Illingworth marrying Ann Eliza after Richard died.  I have the family on the tree.

I have lots of relatives in Canada due to my Grandmother's two sisters who emnigrated in the early 1900s.  They are spread all over now - Quebec, Montreal, Winnipeg (the original place to which they migrated) and Victoria.  A couple of them visited us last summer and we hope to return the visit maybe in 2014.

If I find anything else out, I'll let you know.  Again, thanks for getting in touch.  Keith says hello!

Kind regards
