BALMFORTH / CLARKE; Conn USA; 1910- I am trying to trace any relations I may have in the USA. My grandmother, EDITH MAY BALMFORTH, she emigrated to the USA around 1912 aged 12, with her mother to her elder sister ELIZABETH BALMFORTH, who had left England some time previously. I think ELIZABETH's married name was CLARKE and she had a son named JACK. My grandmother returned to Manchester England after about 2 years and corresponded for some years to her family in Danbury? Connecticut. I have old letters dated from the 1930's I know that in the 1980's some relatives came over to England, but were unable to contact my grandmother. I know this may be a long shot, but if this story rings a bell, please contact me I would love to hear from any relatives. ps. I understand that there is a BALMFORTH school and some graves by that name in Danbury. Is there any connection?? I don't know why the family emigrated to that area originally. -- Julia Greenhough try http://www.spirit.demon.co.uk Julia Greenhough <julia@trethellan.demon.co.uk>
