What do I know about my ancestors
The short answer is ‘not a lot’ and trying to find some of them has been tiresome and frustrating at times but, over all, it is an exciting journey that never ceases. Once you think you have solved one mystery, another appears to take it’s place.
I am gradually building up pictures of their lives and, as my knowledge of them increases, I will add to these biographies.

Ernest Gascoyne - My maternal Grandfather. He served in W.W.I, was injured twice and
actually served in three different regiments. He died when I was very young so this was
never something I had considered. It was only after Mum gave me a photo of him in
uniform that I decided to look into this further. I have had some research done regarding
the regiments he served in and, once I have read through it, I will post an account of it
all on here. Sadly his service records have been destroyed so I am unable to find any
more information about that.
Pretoria Adams - My maternal Grandmother. After much searching, I finally found out that she was not registered under the name her family always knew her. I have finally tracked her down and have been able to provide my Mum and her siblings with information about their Mum’s parents & grandparents, and other other family members they never knew about.
Arthur Mark - My dad, who died in 1974 so I never really got to know him
Nadine Mark - A little bit about me
