yrshire, Scotland. Married Edward Newton Sparrow (American G.I.?) and went to live in Virginia, U.S.A. just after WW2. Mary Margaret was known as May, and was killed a few years ago in an accident. She and Edward had two children, George and Virginia, (married name could be Burkett), who are my cousins. Looking to add to existing family history, and happy to share.

Hi Everyone,
I am seeking info re my gggrandfather, JOSEPH INGRAM. I think he was born 1829,Huntly, Aberdeen. At some stage he migrated to SOUTH AFRICA, where, in about 1858, he married JANE BACHE REED from CHESHIRE . They had 5 children & at some stage migrated to OZ. Joseph's death cert states he was a deep sea diver/miner - a bit unusual - but maybe he was working on harbour construction in South Africa?? Any info would be much appreciated.
