Hi John,
Thank you for your response. Probably the reason you did not know much about Andrew, Maria' younger brother was, he died in his late 20s from wounds he received fighting in the first world war (or so I believe). My father never really spoke about his family, so I didn't really know anything until I started researching on the internet. My eldest sister is sure Lizzie did keep in touch by letter occasionally. I am the youngest of six (four surviving) so a lot passed me by, but I think Lizzie passed away early 90s and was in her late 80s.
I also believe we are somehow connected with a girl who was on the Titanic and survived (I thought it was one of those family stories, but again the internet appears to have confirmed it was true). Her surname was Kelly and she became a Nun, and may be connected through Lizzie.
Kind regards
