Ooh, I hadn't found that. Thanks so much for that, Kite.

Have had a lovely PM from a new GF member to say that Robert Pickles is her GGG grandfather!

I really look forward to exchanging some of my family photos for whatever information she has, as she says she has been researching for many years and has lots on this line. Pickles is a hard name to research in the West Riding, there are so many, and there are some name changes in our family too, so I've been a bit baffled. I've sent off a message and photos to her personal email and am eagerly awaiting a response.

A hearty thank-you to all who helped me with this and other Pickles threads. From memory, that includes at least Elizabeth, JayG, Marg and of course Kiterunner.

[Janet]

Could use a death cert for this one too.

I've now had contact on Ancestry with another descendant of Robert Pickles, a 3xg granddaughter on the west coast of Australia. To be continued!
