Dear Craig,
Mum and myself nearly fell off our chairs in amazement when we read your message and Simon Holland's message in the genforum. Mum is visiting me in Germany and her maiden name is Patricia Udale! She is the first daughter born to Thomas Udale and Winifred ( born Farmer) in January 1931. My grandparents divorced shortly afterwards.Mum was born in Birmingham and still lives in Solihull. She's very interested to find out a little about her father's family and if all the Udales 'up north' are connected to your Grandfather and to my Grandfather.Do you by any chance have a valid email address or a telephone number for Simon Holland (born Paul Udale)?It would be great if you could drop us a quick line. My email address is
helen.stephens@web.de.
Best Wishes,
Helen Stephens
