Member Since: July 2003 Posts: 43 Send Message	Wondering if someone can help with something I remember my grandmother told me. She said her cousins were related to Dandy Nicholls (played Alf Garnett's wife in In Sickness and in Health). Is there a good way of getting information on the families of famous people. I have tried searching on google, without much success. I think she was a granddaughter of Richard Henry Berry and Hannah Sefton, who married in Chorley in 1870, but I could easily be wrong! Anyone got any ideas?

	Wish I could help but I can't. However, I have a similar situation so perhaps you'd email me if anyone has any tips for you! Good luck Sylvie

Member Since: July 2003 Posts: 43 Send Message	George Thanks for the information. Maybe I could get hold an obituary from 1986. Do you have any ideas on how I might go about doing that? Neil
