Hi Listers, Someone in the USA has to be related to Phyllis. She was born in Birmingham, Warwickshire, England about 1892. Her parents were Harry & Ellen Henderson (nee Pittaway). She left England for a holiday with relatives in Canada in the early 1900s. She was unable to return to the UK, and married a Dutch man in Canada. She moved to Washington DC at some point, and lived near Spokane. She had several children of her own, but also fostered many others. She was also a prizewinner in the country fairs, for jams & suchlike that she'd made. One of her foster sons was called Ivan. He joined/was conscripted into the American Army, & was posted to Germany, and was there around 1954. Ivan had a friend named George, and they visited Cyril Henderson (Phyllis's brother) in Ruislip, Middlesex, England in 1954/55. Cyril's wife was named Ruth. Phyllis had several siblings - Nellie, Madeline (known as 'Did'), Lily, Harry (who died 1892, aged 14 months) & Cyril (my grand-dad, born 1901). I haven't been able to find Phyllis in passenger lists, and as I don't know her married name, there's been no point looking in censuses. Anyone who thinks they're linked to Phyllis - I'd love to hear from you! I have loads of family history to share with you! Regards, Ellie (In Middlesbrough, England)
