ah that makes much more sense! I put a list of ripper victims last night , but she would have had to be a lot older than your nan, and it will take a lot more searching to go back that far.

so you need to build a bigger tree to find which side of the family the cousin was from.

Before the prices go up you really need to get either their marriage cert or his birth cert to find out more about their parents .

its not my nan its was my nans cosin my nan was born in 1911 and died about 3 0r 4 years ago

Thanks,Lindsey-just saw one of the other threads. I think Astra has him in 1911.
It's certs from here on in!

Maureen

Yes Maureen it's Crook without an E for the children , including Richard's dad.

Right,Lindsey-so this marriage??
Marriages Jun 1930
Crook Nellie Dolphin Walsall 6b 1645
Dolphin Charles J Crook Walsall 6b 1645

Maureen

Ah RIchard, there you are, good.

Do you know when your nan died? it just doesn't quite seem possible for her to be a ripper victim ?

If the marriage I found in Walsall is right she was alive in 1930 and having children up to at least 1947 ?

Stay with us and maybe we can solve this.

sorry if you think ive had you on merry dance i am new to the boards last night was my ist night what i have said about my family is true so i been told.

sorry Ann, it looks as if he deleted the whole list of Ripper victims ........way before she was born , and she's too old for the Yorkshire Ripper !!

I suspect a red herring .
Richard has had us on a merry dance.

lovely - I did ask the poster to delete all but one of his postings as he had four of them
