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.
