Through this site I have returned a wedding ring which had been given to me by my mother-in-law to a blood relative.. ....................................................... My Mum-in-law got remarried in her 50's to a batchelor and his Mum came to live with them. When his Mum died, in her 80's, as there didn't seen to be any other immediate family they gave the ring to me.................................... Being a bit sentimental, although it didn't really mean much to me, I have kept it for 31 years.................................... Through this site someone contacted me. Her Great Grandad and this elderly lady were brother and sister........ I hope she treasures the ring............................. Linda
