I have recently had contact with a lady from Nabraska U/S.A. who is of my
kin..our joint relative was James Flint who married Charllote Trollope
from Heckington Sleaford Lincolnshire in 1868 She is in some way
related to the Trollope family who were authors so I am informed by Laura
Petersen ..James and Charlotte emigrated to U.S. on marriage...also I
have had contact with another lady in America who is related to my Flint
family at Uttoxetor..All this contact is thanks to your Contributors
Pedigree page. So please accept my thank you once more.

Derby Mercury, August 1861
|
Good morning John,
I too have been helping Roy Pearce with his
history of Wirksworth Grammar School
– in my case with the desktop publishing aspect.
On your wonderful website and just a few pages away
from X134a, to which you directed Roy, is a photo of
your ancestor William Marple.
Are you aware of the Derby Mercury report (beginning of
August, 1861, attached) of the tragic death of, presumably,
his grandfather, also William Marple, my great-great-grandfather?
Kind regards
Rob Few
