Hi Annie, Dawn and all, sorry I am really not the best on computers lol.. But I will endeavour to update my profile with the relevant info..

I am just in the process of subscribing to find my past, and ancestory uk.. Will try navigate my way around them later today..

I have spoken to my family members in the NE, but they are elderly now sadly.. I was told some family come from east riding of Yorkshire and others from killcady (sp) in Ireland. I'm originally from Newcastle upon Tyne, but now live in Nottingham uk

Looking at the free 1911 index, it looks as if Margaret's parents were called John and Sarah Jane Seed (both aged 44) and Harry - Henry? - Seed was aged 3.  In which case he married when he was 16ish!
Other children are Ada (19), Ernest (18), Robert (16), William (14), Mary (12), Thomas (6) and Hannah (2).


I wonder if Emily Bradley was a similar age to Harry?
