Ooh - ooh - getting a bit excited, as I have some Fellows' (or Fellowes?) on my Tree.
Not sure of spelling at the moment; can I come back to you, please?
Sorry to be a nuisance, but thank you for bringing this to our attention; much appreciated.

Sorry Bee, just re-read your first posting. If it's a possibility, I'll email the lady. Thank you again. :-))))

Sound more likely to be the second one. Which is a coincidence - my father went out on the same ship the year before! Small world!

On Teletext this morning there's a lady in Canada who's dicovered a photo of this young lad, a hired hand who worked for the family, amongst her deceased parents' belongings. She'd like to reunite the photo with his family. Is he yours?

Her name is Lynne and her address is [email protected]

Bee.

PS Please feel free to post this on other sites as well - I've put it on FTF already, but the wider it's publicised the more chance some family will be made really happy!
