Hello Len
Yes, thathey are my family, they are my Mother (Dorothy) and her siblings. What was so nice was to see Madge and Betty, who were twins who died in childhood - both with bronchitis. In those days all the doc could suggest was that my Nan stand their pram near roadworks so they could breath in the tar!! Also, Willy and Joey who again died in childhood - I had heard my Mum talk of them all but this is they first time I have seen their names in print - very touching - thank you.
Re the May of Lonsdale st. I am not sure Len. You see according to her marriage cert, nan was 23 at marriage in 1918 - which would have made her 6 and on this one, Louise is 6 and May is 10mths (plus I never heard of a Louise, but I guess that means nothing because I never heard of any other sibling except Molly (Mary) and I would be surprised if there weren't many others. I would send for the birth certificate but because I do not know nans mother's maiden name, it would prove nothing. Its a hard situation. If you or anyone else comes up with any other thing no matter how small, I will always be very grateful.
