:)  Jool, thanks for the suggestion.  In my next exchange with him, I'll ask if he's interested in being inundated with his family info!  ;)

You're most welcome Ruskie.  And to think that a week ago, I knew absolutely nothing about my grandmother!  Our history in this part of the world is not very old, so this feels very 'old'.  It's mind-boggling, in all honesty.

Amazing isn't it. I live in Australia so I understand how you feel about the history.  ;)

I like Jool's suggestion about giving your Ilkeston 'cousin' links to these threads. Much of it happened in his neck of the woods so he'll probably be interested - you never know, it might lead to more discoveries about the families ...

Good morning.  I received a reply from my contact at Ilkeston Historical Society asking for copies of the newspaper articles, so I have sent both.  I also sent him the 'timeline' from this thread, noting that we are awaiting confirmation from certificates.
Thanks to everyone!!!

Carol, I am so pleased you have found this person "on the ground" at the Ilkeston FHS. Can't think of anything better or more helpful at this stage.

I hope all of my amazing Rootschatter friends are well.  Today is Friday, and still no sign of any certificates, but hopefully they are on their way ...
Somewhere in one of the 2 threads (I think) someone provided me with information on a Potter line but we ruled them out because they had left the UK for the US.  I looked for the information, thinking it might help my Potter relative who is in the US, but I can't find the information anywhere.  I tried the 'search' feature but it still didn't show up.  Would anyone know where that information might be?
Thanks!
Carol

Hopefully clicking on that link will take you to the "Potter" part on your original thread
