Individual Note

This is the lady who started me on the trail- she knew that my mother was connected to the Berry family, and when I was a child she gave mum a copy of the family tree that she had compiled - that is now lost, but I copied it, and during the wet summer of 2004 I stumbled on the copy in my childish writing, which prompted me to check out the details of that tree. The rest is family history as recorded in this database.

 

By 1965 she is living in Wistaria, Western Rd, Crediton,
