Member Since: March 2007 Posts: 5 Send Message	Hi, I am putting together the Dennison family tree for a lady called Audrey. She is the Grandaughter of Lewis Dennison who was the brother of Bertha your Gt Grandmother. I have managed to get back to c1760 if it helps you although I realise you put the message out in 2008 and have probably done it. If you have any info that you would be willing to share please contact me. Regards Jill
