Message Board Post:
Hi Anne, My Grandfather Cyril Cave recently passed away and whilst sorting through a few
things I discovered that Mrs Cecil Francis Alexander (hymn writer, wrote 'All things
bright and beautiful) and her husband William Alexander (Archbishop of derry and primate
of all of Ireland) are his great Aunt and Uncle.
My Grandfather was born in Liverpool and I can find his direct line back to his Great
grandparents but I am sruggling to find the link to the Alexanders.
My Grandfathers parants were Francis and Nellie Cave, nee White. Francis parents were
James Hamblett and Isabella Rice Cave, nee Hayward. And James Parents were John and Sarah
Cave (not sure of a maiden name).
The link must be there somewhere but they all had so many siblings that it could take a
very long time to look at each one.
If you have any more info that relates to the above I would appreciate the help.
Thanks
Ellie
