Hi DragonT
Having been such a great help on my paternal grandmother's side of the Chilton-home family , I was wondering if you or someone else could help with my maternalgrandmother and her forebears.
GERTRUDE ROWLANDS BORN 1887 married ERNEST CHILTON 16.06.1907
At Lache with Saltney near Chester.
Her father was Thomas Rowlands. I think she might have been born in Birkenhead.
At the age of 14 she was a servant for Edward Dale , Newry Park , Chester.
She died in August 1944 in Bangor.
I am trying to trace Thomas Rowlands but have had no luck.
Please can you help or point me in the right direction.
Many thanks
Paul Jones

Hi to all those Roots experts out there.
I am new to this game but have made some headway on the Chilton side of my family (my mother's maiden name).
I am now working on Gertrude Rowlands ,my grandmother, but now that I am 70 there are no family members left to ask.
I believe Gertrude Rowlands was born in 1887 in Birkenhead.
Her father was Thomas Rowlands and her mother Mary ( maiden name unknown).
Gertrude married Edward Chilton in 1907 in Saltney.
She died in Bangor in 1944.
If anyone can help me find out about Thomas Rowlands, Mary and their family I would be very grateful.
