Thankyou Mary, Sandra & Connie,

What a helpful bunch you all are!

Yes, it must have been hard for "Mum". She was my Great Grandmother. When
I was a child I always thought she was a very quiet & sad lady. I wish I
had known
then what I know now. After the hardship in England she left all family
support to go by herself to a strange country - all on Doctor's advice for
her only child. Losing her son then at age 20 from TB (in a TB sanatorium
here) would have been tragic. Then she survived her 2nd husband who died
from cancer by nearly 20 years. I wish life had been better for her.

I will follow your advice & I'll be back if I need any addresses. :o)

Thanks again,
Deb.
