Im looking for relatives on this family tree my great grandma was Mary Jane newill think she was born in 1886 and had a daughter Edna Mary newill on 17th August 1912 . My great grandma was from Leeds potternewton I think .dont know if she was married when she had her daughter(my nanna) she went onto marry George William brown in 1930 in Leeds and he had children from a previous marriage/relationship.
In 1911 census there is a sister Edith newill aged 33 chapel allerton and a Mary Jane newill 25 in chapel allerton so I don't know if that's her ?also in 1881 I found
William newill 32 potternewton stone mason
Sarah newill-26-moor town-
Wm a newill-8- moor town
Frank newill-20-potternewton
Edith newill-3-potternewton
Florence-0-potternewton
Makes Edith born in 1878 and in 1901 makes her the right age. My mum says she remembers an auntie flo.
Can anyone else help me on this side of my family tree
Kind regards

Karen I've sent you info on a couple of marriages, but as you've mentioned Jack, it is probably this one as Jack is one of the children :-)

Will have a look tomorrow but the names aren't uncommon unfortunately, have a look in 'Search trees' to see if anyone has their names? ( I think there are possible trees for some of the names just at a quick glance)

For example if you search trees, a Robert Brown has Jack in his tree, click on "find out more" to send a message to Robert
