Yes they are Mack, then my great great great grandad Samuel moved to Long Ashton, Bristol. And his kids were born there.

Do you have something?

Thanks Mack.

I know the first two.

Norman was son of Samuel and Louisa Maud MARY Chappel. I can link him back about four generations before that.

Thomas Jesse was son of Charles and Rose Matilda Partridge and married emma elizabeth Wallace.I can go back four gens with him as well.

The others i don't know.

I am sure i have a walter edward somewhere, but cant find him.

The one i really want to know is Richard. Not one i have but he was in the same regiment at the same time as my maternal granddad and great grandad(as you know already).

I wonder if they knew each other, how cool would that be.

Thanks again. I will try and work out what relation the first two are.

Right then, pick the bones out of this!!!

Sidney is actually Sydney son of James and Mary not William and Mary. Got him in 1901 census, right age ,right place and a milkman.

Richard i think is Richard W Sollars son of Richard Albert Sollars and Ellen Skelton.

No Walter in england except in a union workhouse in Stroud with what is probably his sister Nellie. Could well be him.

So can anyone work this out:

This is my line and then i will try the others. If anyone can workout the relations then i would be well impressed.

ME!!!

To save the post being to long i will do them all seperately.
