You're not on your own Jeanette. I was born and bred in Brisbane Qld Aust.
One of my maternal Great Grandfathers (Robert YOUNGS) and his parents
(Robert YOUNGS and Maria BARKER) were born in Kenninghall. The other
maternal side was born in Gloucestershire. Problem for us, isn't it?!

Could I please 'borrow' your Guardian Angel so my steps can be led to
England, 'cos my paternal side belong there too!!! What I wouldn't give for
photos of Kenninghall and it's tell-tale cemeteries and headstones (sigh)!

Cheers
Bev
