Hi Mitchell, your great Grandad was my uncle George and aunt Martha. l used to go and visit them with my mum and dad every Sunday when l was little. my dad worked for uncle George as blast man in the quarry. there daughter Helen and son Billie also had children, Helen had a daughter called Margaret and Billie had a daughter called Rosemary, my parents were Jack and Mary Hancock.
Hi, Ms. Weston, yes, all correct. Helen Goddard was baptised, I believe, as “Ellen” in 1914, but went by Helen, as did one of my mother’s grandmothers. Helen married Arthur White, and I believe that their daughter Margaret was their only child, so I presume she became the Mum of Ms. Richardson with whom you’ve corresponded above. All distant cousins of mine, and Rosemary has been a very good friend of mine for decades and a wonderful mentor in genealogy and local history to me and to many others. We are all in her debt for the history she’s preserved. My best wishes to you and your family, Glenn T.
