    I am currently listing all of -as many as I can- my various families 'Smith'. So many different families Smith in my lot. :rolleyes: Primrose 'Holloborne' [various spellings] was born 22 Mar. 1902 Penge Lewisham, Surrey. Having just found her in 1921 as an 'inmate' in 'Hermitage Convalescent...

    Jumping with excitement

    The big lad was talking to his Dad earlier today and his Dad said he'd like someone to look into a Herbert Birchall who lived near his family (he is a Birchall). He didn't think that Herbert would be related but wondered who he was. So I did a little poking around and found him and his wife...
