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
Joy
