Hello I know this post was a long time ago so I may not get a response.
My nans brother George Ashton died in the bombing in Abbey Hills :( she always told me about him growing up and Iv randomly just googled and found this link! It would be good to know if anyone is related.


Hi, I’m not sure if you will see this post but George Ashton is a distant relative of mine. My great grandma was Mary Ellen Ashton who died in the bombings. Her brother Frank Ashton was George Ashton’s Dad. So my Grandma and your grandma are probably cousins? I’m currently building my family tree on findmypast .
