Hi, Welcome Home! A lady from Maryland was asking me about Richard Squibb Keats (1827-c67) and she thinks we might be related so I was back on the Keats' kick. As we know Richard "disappeared". His wife Eliza Louisa Worth (1935-1901) died a Widow and was buried with her parents at St. Paul's Bristol. All the best, Edna - Ottawa ----- Original Message ----- From: "Art & Marjorie Keates" <akeates@kingston.net> To: <bristol_and_somerset@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, October 22, 2010 5:28 PM Subject: Re: [B&S] Keats-Worth family Hi Edna We've been away for a few weeks and am just now getting caught up with mail. Thank you for posting this. Richard isn't our line but as Art and I are engaged in one-name studies we appreciate seeing this item. Fun getting back in the swing of things!
