hello and thank you so much for all the help you are doing.i am sorry this is so difficult.I rang my auntie up yesterday and she gave me some details well as much as she knows as with a stroke she says things then forgets them and i dont want to push her to much.the stroke was two yrs ago she is getting better but still gets confused.from what i know now i think what you found out about sydney manley is right as she said jenny or jennie did marry a sydney.about jennie bowman is right,not sure if her mothers name was greenberg as my auntie said that her father was married before and he had two boys and jennie,he came to england at the turn of the century as his wife had died and left him with three children.he met my grandmother in the early twentys and my mother marion was born in 1928 and my auntie shirley was born in 1930.my grandmother was called rachel,her birth name was shilinski and was born in leeds in january 1902bryan s manley that was born in 1960 i think is right but not 100per cent.iam not sure about the rest of the names though.i do have more information about some other family but its like a jigsaw puzzle,if you would like me to write down everything i have could you let me know.I would just love to find out about my cousins but just not sure of the names as one was a lot older then me laurence was. do you know how i would find out addressers and phone numbers so i could contact them.thank you again for all your help.janice

Jan 192.com have the current electoral rolls and telephone directories on their site.you can search for a name but have to buy credits to see the electoral roll details. they are the best bet I know of though for finding present whereabouts of people.
