I am tring to locate information for Thomas Smith born around 1855 in Manchester. He married Nancy who came from the Bolton area.

Thomas is my great grandfather and this line of my tree has come to halt. Hoping some distant relatives will be out there who can assist and make contact.

My grandmother Nancy Ada Brand (Smith) was born in Hulme. Alphonso Brand my grandfather was a dentist in Brooks Bar.

Cheers
David Brand
