    3. Hello Folks, Does anyone have GISBORN, WOODFORD, GREENHOUGH or STEANE in their family tree? See www.wirksworth.org.uk/X642.htm "Love from France" On Ebay I won two silk-embroidered love-cards, from a soldier 'Ben' in France WW1 to his girl 'Nancy' in Wirksworth. One card has dried flowers. Due to girl's unusual surname, managed to work out quite a large tree with dates for both families. Soldier survived the War, they married in 1923, had a daughter in 1923. Very romantic. See 'Research', which was exciting. Worked out how they met, also how her parents met. Soldier sent cards when Nancy was under 16, they married when she was 21. They had a daughter Jean E GISBORN in 1923. Regards to all, John Palmer, Dorset, England Author of Wirksworth website www.wirksworth.org.uk
