Hi Kate Really good to hear from you. Please send more eg on Charles Brooks and anything else you think useful. Do you go further back?I dont have access to GEDCOM yet (my friend Ann-Marie does. To answer your questions: Our Gt Gt Grandfather George born White Hose Inn South Cheriton Somerset is according to Family knowledge. He married Ellen Beatrice Pond who aged 14 worked in Service for Robert Kellow (Railway Inspector) who lived at Fisherton Anger Fonthill Bishop, Wilts - according to 1881 Census. According to the family she also worked in service for a Col. Havlock. She married George and they had their children: Winifred Harriet Harry Edward Havlock I think the John F. is Frank born 1899 Stanley Charles Ellen died aged 47 in Shaftesbury and is on the Holy Trinity Memorials. Win (My Gt Aunt) brought up the family with her Father. She never married and was still living in Haimes Lane when she died. Her father George died in Shaftesbury aged 88 as you thought. He is also listed at Holy Trinity as is his sons Frank and Stanley. I am getting together the rest of names and dates for the rest of our line of the family and will get back to you. I am also in contact with another descendant of Gt GT Grandad George - his Gt Grandmother was Mary Ann b. 1849 who married John Cook b. 1850. Thanks for your details so far and lets keep in touch - this is fascinating stuff! Regards Gill
