As this is my first request to the website, I am hoping for some success. Edith Annie Gilkes was born in Coventry in 1903. According to the 1911 census, she lived in Lockhurst Lane, Coventry with her brother and parents, Mary Jane and Herbert Gilkes. Although I have further information on the lives of the other three family members, I can find nothing more on Edith. No records of either her marriage or death have come to light. There is a possibility that she may have emigrated [to Canada(?)], but I have no access to emigration lists. Any assistance in finding more details of Edith's life would be greatly appreciated.

I am trying to trace my Great-G Grandfathers family in England. My Great Gr Grandfather was named William Palmer and he was born in 1850. His parents were Robert Palmer and Mary Ann Mann. He married Ellen Swift in Birmingam in 1870 and according to what I can surmise they immigrated to the U.S. in 1872. I'd like to know about William's siblings and other family members who were left behind in the UK. I can find no record of their arrival on any ship or any indication they were naturalized even though in the U S census that is indicated. I have an old photo of a grass topped hut and on the back of the photo it is labeled "Tile Hill" and the words "presnted to him by his employer Thomas Swift. Leads me to believe that William Palmer may have married the bosses daughter. They were married in the Parish Church of St Thomas in Birmingham. Any help that anyone can give will be really appreciated. Thanks.
