Hello John, Many thanks for the information you and Cara sent me regarding my family. Interesting, in my grandmother Mary's (Anna Aspel's daughter) letters I find one dated 12 Aug 1913 from her cousin Mary Archbold living at 60 Brookfield Bds, Brookfield Ave, Blackrock Ireland - Co Dublin I have tried to find out about this family as well. Nothing so far. Then, there is another letter from a Mrs A (looks like Bru or Bris) who was living at 111 Lowsserd (?) Street, Dublin who addressed it to My Dear Niece. She refers to her deceased husband as John. From the tone of the letter she could be the sister to Anna and Mike Aspel. One last letter written 30 Oct 1906 is from a cousin Maggie living at C2 Albert St. Prescot. She mentions a sister living in Manchester Union. Not sure if this is in Ireland. At the bottom of the envelope following the address to my grandmother is Bos. 428. This may or may not be connected to the Aspel's. Again thanks, I appreciate any information as you never know where it can lead.
