Thank you so much Margee - never thought it would be on-line. :-)
His daughter in England would normally have a claim, if she even knew!

I am Owen"s daughter in England. Who is this please?

Welcome to the boards Sara.

The person who raised the question is a member of Genes Reunited and posted on the forum in the hopes that someone might be able to help answer her query. Another member replied with some information.

+++DetEcTive+++ is still a member and in case she misses seeing it, I've sent her a private message to let her know you have put your query on the thread, so hopefully you'll get an answer soon.

Thanks Greyghost - I'd missed that this ancient thread had been added to.

Hello Sara. let me check my tree regarding the exact relationship and I'll come back to you with details.

The connection is through the Tomlin's. OH's maternal grandmother was Jessie Tomlin. Owen - I think he was her nephew - has always been a bit of a mystery in the family, and we'd love to know more. OH's mother, the keeper of family lore, was able to tell us a bit about the who, what and where but not the details. Some of it was confirmed by the daughter of one of Jessie's sisters.

PM sent with details.
