Dear All
Rather belatedly, my line is given below.
I live in Bournemouth, Dorset, UK and was very lucky to be given a very
comprehensive copy of my tree by Andy Chant. Through this I discovered
that I have a cousin who lives just a few miles away in Poole, and am also
related to Scott Brougher from Cleveland, Ohio (Hi Scott!).
I share Scott's line (copied below) up to James and Sarah Grace who married
on 19 July 1913, and am descended from their son John...

I hope this is of interest to some of you, and would be delighted to hear
from other "new" relatives.
I would dearly love to know who my grandfather was, but I don't hold out
much hope! If you know anyone in their 80's who lived in Stockbridge in
1923/24, they may just remember a scandal of Lena Ellen Chant moving to
Bournemouth to have a baby!
Happy hunting!
Sally Grant
