So good to hear from you. I am in Pasco County. My grandmother, Eva's daughter Mary Darby Griffin, has passed away. Unfortunately, she did not pass on any information re: her great grandparents. Are you close to any of the other Gilkes in St. Pete. I can't believe we are stuck at William and Eva's parents!
My email is cgarves@yahoo.com, if you have any information to share or photos. I am only in possession of some of Thomas Gilkes (possible the younger Thomas) and Nellie Brown, numerous of Eva Gilkes Darby, and a cousin of Nellie Brown (from Holland).
