Dear Rosemary
The Doctor was mentioned by my father. I haven't worked out the exact connection to our section of the family as although he has been put on my father's writing up of the family tree it is as an addition to the bottom. However according to Dadthe Doctor had 9 children. Christian who married Jessie Skea/och Children were Campbell and Shiela.
Stanley who married Fanny: children were Ralph ,Vivian, Gordon and a girl. Charlie-no family mentioned.Edmund who married Grace(from notes I think he died in 1935): children were Stephen, Millie, Charlie, and Silvie. Millie who didn't marry. Annie who married L.Graves and died in 1935 had 4 boys one of whom was Chris and he lived in Guiana(? Sp.) and was alive 10 years ago as he and my father corressponded reasonably regularly(I may be able to find an address but can't promise). May. Cyril. Gerald who married Esther.He died in the early 1950's and I corressponded with Aunt Esther for about 10 years and have some photos of her. Both Gerald and Esther were connected with Berkeley University in California. My father knew May and Millie and used to tell stories about them when he was on holidays from school. Chris Graves was also there at the time. Unfortunately Dad died last year aged 87. I am wondering what the Doctor's name was? What information do you have about your husband's family. We seem to be related distantly. My father was the son of Christina Marion Noel Branch who married Arthur Kingsford.Her parents were cousins. Marion Allison Branch (daughter of John Ames Branch) married Noel Branch ( son of Samuel Edward Branch) as his second wife.
My brother says the family tree Dad wrote out may not be very accurate so if you have conflicting facts please let me know. Any way ,delighted to make your acquaintance. Hope I hear more from you.
Greetings and best wishes from the Branch"s in N.Z.
Allison Thomas
