replied on: 4/8/2008 3:01:35 PM

Hi Jenny,
Thanks for your message re my Mother's Birthday - I do not have the date I am afraid.
She was names Martha Straw, born the youngest of a large family - lived in Cotmanhay, Ilkeston, Derbyshire - Married to George Leslie Willgoose.
Our Grandfather, who I/we are trying to research was named Sam Straw and we believe was killed in a mining accident in the Shipley Coal Mine in the early 1900's
I am presently waiting for my brother/sisters to reply to my request for their information imput.
Not all that much to go on I admit.
I/we do appreciate your help in this matter
Thanks - Terry Willgoose in Canada
