Hello Pat - this is a pretty old posting here - you could try to make contact with Gillian via GR using the "send message" system, but to be honest I've not seen her around for some time now - same with Claire - she's not been around for ages either

Hi Jennifer.

I was looking up my Starforth records. I have a John Davison Starforth (he was a great great great-uncle of mine) According to my records his parents were Henry Starforth and Ann Davison. You might have already found this out...

Toddles was his birth place, just checked.

Still no wife, ummm! bit compliated isn't it. thanks for lookingXX

He's a bit younger but the children tie in with 1861
