Hello all, I was wondering if anyone could help me in what seems to be an impossible task for me. My Great Great Grandmother was a Miss Gee from Birmingham. I am sorry do not know her Christian name. (am trying to find her grave at the other end of NZ of which it should have it) All I know from my mum is that Great GM said her mother was a Gee and her family owned a Iron & Brass Foundry in Birmingham. Is there any one out there that would know of this? My Great Grandmother died in 1970 aged 85yrs but my mother said she lied about her age and was more like 95. Trying to work out the age of her mother I would place her around 1870-80's. I do not know where my G GM was born. Her mother married a Mathews of which I believe the family were not too happy about. I am hoping they got married in England which would make things alot easier when I find out names to do searching. Her husband died in about 1896 in a tragic mine disaster in NZ. Not much to go on but my only hope is the Iron and Brass Foundry. Finding the "Gee's"who owned this can give me some names and hopefully a census may give the family of which I can locate my GG GM. Thanking you all Karen New Zealand
