thanks for information about John James Sloane & family, any information about Ethel would be appreciated, as my mother(when living in Gowna with her Uncle in the 1940s)knew her well

[Carole147]

also Eileen Knight, possibly from Cullaboy (both my mothers friends, Ethel and Eileen)are related to my Stratford family line)
