message for kim hi kim hope you are well just thought i would forward this message to you. it was sent to me from another distant relative who is researching the bottomley/hardy line. wondered if you could work out where the barraclough fits in to our tree. by the way my inlaws are on their way back to your sunny climes for the winter, can't believe how lucky they are - it was snowing here the other day!! they were very keen to visit you again so if that is possible can you let me have your phone number and they will give you a ring at some point during their trip. they leave the uk on friday and will be in aus until february. if you would rather send your phone number to my personal email instead of the message board my address is ellis.spj@tiscali.co.uk regards julie ----- Original Message ----- From: Janet Ogden To: Howard Geddes Cc: Julie Ellis Sent: Sunday, November 21, 2004 10:37 PM Subject: more info on Hardy/Bottomley Hi Howard, and Julie, here is more info which I havre added to the 1881 I got it from my friend Barbara Swift she grew up in Shelf she was told it by her father in law Fred Swift.
