Michael have you tried Facebook? It sounds strange but I traced modern day descendants of my great aunt by sending messages to about 20 people with the surname I was looking for in a particular region.

His son Edward married a Catherine McCreech in 1950 and Edward died aged 52 in 1976. I believe that Edward and Catherine (Kathy) had two daughters Christine S. and Ann C. .I think I have located that Christine may have married a John H. Laird in 1976. I am trying to write a family history of my mothers family of ROSE and it would be great if I could find some surviving members of the Rose family. If anyone knows about these two sisters I would be pleased to hear Regards Michael McDonnell Adelaide Australia _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ Research in Birmingham: http://www.bham.de/ Any problems, please contact the List Admin: ENG-WARKS-BIRMINGHAM- admin@rootsweb.com ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to ENG-WARKS- BIRMINGHAM-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
