Afternoon all I can vouch for Trish's friendliness and helpfulness. Having helped each other out with our research through e-mails over many years, when Trish and her friend came over to England from Oz, we were able to meet up and had a lovely lunch and chat.

Mother may have been deceased and not having her name makes it hard to find Thomas (Jnr) birth records etc. I have spent years looking for him in Kent to no avail. So now I'm looking in Kent.
