I am interested in finding any relative of the above person. I believe she was married to a Colonel Pinnells. I believe my Aunty is related to her and I would love some information to share with her.

Hope that this all helps...now you are into potentially living people you may need to search the electoral rolls etc.

Birth of Iris's possible child sent by PM to Annette

Many thanks for all this info - I am really interested in Lilian McCarthy as this was my Aunt's mother and her father was Arthur Edmund Coleman. I cannot seem to find anything on him at all. I have my Aunt's birth certificate with both her parent's names - her mother listed as being Lilian Victoria Mary Coleman formerly McCarthy but I'm not sure they were married. However I will delve further - thanks for the info once again.
Cheers Annette

Annette


when was your aunt born ....... so that we have an idea of the period in which we are searching
