Mary Winifred Bottomley was born in Grantham in 1919 and was one of a large family of children who seem to just disappear and we have not been able to discover descendants from any of them. There were lots of Bottomleys in and around Grantham and Ancaster near by. Several of the men worked in the stone quarries. Your Joseph Kibble could well be a brother of Mary. Marys parents were John Edward Bottomley and Emma Kibble . Do you have a copy of Joseph Kibbles birth certificate? If he had the same parents it would prove the connection If not one of us needs to get a copy If you wish to contact me direct I will happily share all my data. My email address is in an earlier posting I am excited by this and look forward to hearing from you Ken Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
