Hiya Marl,
We have seen the fires on the TV and how can anyone do such a terrible thing. Its good to see that you are ok. In the north west we have had very little snow compared with London and the south. Isnt the 1911 census giving us all some intreting facts. I found a unknown relation the other day as well.

Hi Marl and Maxine,

Thanks Marl for posting the extra information about your Smiths of Cowling & Keighley. Good luck with this, hopefully someone will be able to help you find connections and more data.

The news from Victoria has shown us the horrific bush fires over there. It makes me feel ashamed about complaining about our UK weather. I do hope that you and your family are all remaining safe and well, marl.

Chat again soon,
Carole
