Dear Lesley telford,
Having read your communication below with John, I believe I am related to your husband, Peter. I discovered this apparent connection while trawling the Telford Family Genealogy Website at work on a slack holiday evening (I am a journalist living in Sydney, Australia).
I believe that Peter is the youngest son of John and Sadie Telford - they also had an older son Jack.
I believe John Telford was the younger brother of my late father, William. Their siblings were Dick (Richard), Peg (Margaret), Elsie and Ellie (adopted).
The Marian you mention is, I believe Marian Bell- the daughter of Peg and Alec Bell, who also had an elder daughter Joan.
My parents - William and Anne Telford and my sister Eileen and I emigrated to Australia in 1957, settling in Rockhampton QLD. Our departure apparently created a rift in the family and we therefore lost contact with 'home'.
My daughter Camilla and I are so elated to discover this connection and would love to establish contact with you and Peter (and hopefully Jack).
Best regards,
Ian Telford
