Dear Bryan, Many thanks for this additional info - I can't believe how many names I now have - I have already put a family tree on Genes Re-united - mostly the Foster side (maternal) but am adding the Cronshaws as I go along - and now I have even more. My sister, believe it or not, in a fit of desperation is doing research at Brighton (Woodvale) Crematorium where our father was cremated - I have his death certificate and it doesn't appear to be a member of the family who arranged for the cremation. I am not sure what she will find there, or hope to find but who knows - I just hope she doesn't sneeze among the ashes! Tony Cronshaw who contactmed me via Ancestry.co tells me that John Cronshaw was married to Ann Saunderson (I note that name was repeated twice as Christian names for children) and their children were Joseph b 1822, Jonathan b 1824, Mary Ann b 1925 (died in infancy) William b 1826, Susan b 1828, Caroline b 1830/Isabella b 1830 (twins who died in infancy), John Saunderson b 1833 - d 1894, Isabella b 1835, (presumably named in memory of one of the twins who died in infancy), James b 1840, Christopher b 1845. He explained what the New Jerusalem was - I think Susan Ann Cronshaw (our grandmother) must have strayed because she married Joseph Dean at St. James!

Do you think I should still apply for Christopher's marriage cert after all of this?

I was particularly pleased to hear about the Dean marriages - if only you could find Martha.!!!!!!!!!!!! As I said to Retlaw I think she married JCD in 1921 but I have been into Lancashire BMDs and could find no marriage between those two (she was Davies), however, I believe the complete list is not yet on line. They had a son Joseph J (my sister got this from somewhere) in 1922. As you are probably beginning to realise, the story gets rather "tacky" when it gets to us sadly.

You are right about how well we have done and can't thank people enough and to think we only started the family search in May this year when I got my hands on the internet (which in itself was a bit of a learning curve and still is). My sister has actually been searching for years but I didn't know that - she actually "found" me 20 years ago!

Thank you so much for all you have given me - I do hope your spade isn't completely ruined!
