Janice and I are now in touch and yes we have got the correct family, thank you everyone for all your help, this would never have happened without your help.
I still cannot find my mothers roots though and that still bothers me a lot, however I must not be greedy.
Thank you all
Evelyn

Hi
my husbands grandmother is Louisa Roy, she married Thomas Garrett. I have just started the family tree so have only just found this section on Genes . Most of my information is an ancestery.com Yes indeed the last remaining son of Louisa and Thomas is alive and kicking. He is 96 in a couple of weeks.
