Hi,
ReplyDeleteRead with interest as an old staffordian left long ago.
My wife reckons she knows, or is perhaps related to, a couple if people shown on the family tree in one of the books. Cannot find it here though. Is there a better more readable copy of it available?
Please reply to idobso49@gmail.com if possible.
Many thanks in more ways than one.
