Rob: My name is Marianne Anderson and I live in the US. I corresponded with your grandfather for over 5 years. He was trying to help me uncover the parents of a Henry Landless born around 1824 perhaps in Colne. David was looking into this when he passed away. Is here any way you could look through your files and see if there might be any notes on a Henry Landless?
I really enjoyed corresponding with David and I was very saddened at the news of his passing. An interesting side note: Years ago I found a posting on a UK genealogy site that David had posted on, the exact same day he saw a posting on mine on another site. He sent out a e-mail that arrived almost exactly at the same time as (the first) E-mail I sent him! I have found that this is the way genealogy works sometimes...it has a way of running a shiver up your spine.
If I could find out for certain who Henrys' parents were then I could give you the information on this line who moved to the US in the mid 1800s. It is wonderful that you are trying to do something with your grandfathers files and I am also so thankful that the family has kept up his web site. I know that it took him years to find the information.
Thank you;
Marianne Anderson
