Well hello 4th cousin, I am glad to hear we have a connection but was suprised to find it's through Mum. Although my immediate family are very close, I knew very little about Mum's family, I knew my Aunt and Uncles and when very young we had contact with their children, but families move around and we had no real contact, although I am meeting up with my cousin Maureen next month. I knew my Grandad (Reginald) but my Mums' Mum passed away when my Mum was only 13. Dad grew up in Dr Barnardo's so no family on that side. So are you an Assender/Assinder or a Leyshon, part of me hopes it's on the Leyshon side as I am really struggling with that line. Anyway I would be pleased to hear from you no matter which line of the family.
Thanks for messaging, I look forward to hearing from you when you get time.
Regards
Cathy
