Helloiam trying to trace a relative who worked in lewis,s department store she was a manager there in the fashion department, this is the hard part as i am not sure when, i think it was between the fifties to the early seventies she was there about twenty years but not so sure of that either.her name was jenny manley.if anyone knew of her and any more details i would be so gratefull. she was my mums half sister and i am trying to build a family tree but not having much luck so far.Thank you Mrs Eckersley

That is brilliant, thank you ever so much.I am trying to find out about my cousins as well her sons but that is another story.I really hope she knew her.I was born very late so i do not know very much only from my auntie who lives in new zealand and she has had a stroke so she can not tell me very much.thank you.

Hi Jani may not be able to trace your relative,but if you can give me as much info as possible ie birth year and place, maiden name,,aprents names and to whom (if ever)married and hopefully i may be able to put a more detailed modern tree for you.No guarantees but the more details you can provide the better chance i will have of helping out.

I don't know whether this is the same person:http://bmd-cert-exch-site.ourwardfamily ... 0.htmcheck out the Jenny Manley record.a quick Google also reveals one who appears to be a breeder/judge of Siberian Huskies in the UK.    

Hithank you for all your messagesno that jenny manley is not the lady but thank you for trying.the only details i have about her is that she was born in leeds,i do not know her date of birth, she married someone called sidney they had two boys.her last name before she was married was bowman or bauman.i really do not know anything else.thank you
