hi all

Gordon, my grandfather was George Reed son of Henry Harle Reed and Mary Jane Bellis, Mary committed suicide by hanging in 1929  my grandfather (who apparently found her) would never talk about it, of the five children, my mother remembers uncle robbie (robert harle reed) uncle harry (henry harle reed)  and uncle tom (thomas) Florence, their sister died when she was 30 and my mother remembers her son, John, coming to see them when he was grown up.

Hi Tervio

Yes I would be grateful for any information about Robert Norwood, I never did find any trace of him after his mention as the informant on the death certificate of his brother-in-law in 1869.  I even did a search of old newspapers via the library to see if I could spot anything but didn't come up with anything. 

Kind regards
Elaine

Elaine, Robert Norwood is my wife's 2nd Great Grandfather. I have so much info to relay its just hard to put it down in this forum but will try. We have located a man in Tennessee, USA who told us a story about Robert. Robert apparently killed someone in a bar fight and was told to leave England or face the consequences. The U.S. Census also states our Robert Norwood was born in England but list 2 different times of his arrival.
I have made contact to Norwood relatives in Australia and Harle relative in California, USA who both state Robert left England abruptly.
Robert Norwood married Margaret Davis in Kentucky, USA they also had children in Kentucky.
Gemma, James Robert, William Theopolis, John Thomas.
Robert died in Kentucky March 9, 1917
My wife is of the William Theopolis line.
If you have any info we would be interested also. We live in Michigan, USA

Thank You
Tervio
