Geoffrey Bell No Bridget Molloy. I am hoping some relatives might help out with that.

Bridget Molloy Cool, thanks just wondering if it was Maggie Southorn.

Geoffrey Bell Maggie is the most logical. Looks the right age. If it is her husband is possibly Thomas.

Alison Hibbs I knew a Brenda Southorn, married name Rees her husband drowned on the Lake.

Margaret Wright If this is Thomas Edward Southorn This Lady would be Margaret Potts daughter of James and Phillippa Potts of Nelson Crfeek my Great Grandparents Margaret married Thomas in 1922

Bridget Molloy Could of her parents been Robert and Elisbeath Potts of Nelson Creek.

Margaret Wright Her Grandparents

Margaret Wright James was also thier son. Yes that is right Bridget Molloy

Bridget Molloy Excellent that is my Great Grandmother. So James was the one lost in WW1.

Margaret Wright Yes that's right have a photo of him in his uniform, His brother Percival Seddon Potts was my Grandfather, I did put photo on this site with Him in his army uniform with his parent sisters and brothers.

Bridget Molloy Wow thanks for the info.

Bridget Molloy Good to fill in the gaps.

Margaret Wright Bridget if you can't find photo P.M and I will send a copy for you Have traced family back to 1809 but am having trouble finding 6x Great Grandd fathers birth but will keep trying lol

Bridget Molloy Thanks its also Boyd Molloy I just hijack my wifes Facebook for a bit of family history.

Margaret Wright Hi Boyd are you a member of West Coast Recollect if so just type in Potts family and you will see the photo's I have put on

Bridget Molloy Yes have found them great work.

Marilyn Smithem If this is the house that was on what became Herb Downings farm it is Tom Southorn. I do not know what relationship they are to the family of Molly Southorn from Ruru. Brenda Rees was one of Molly’s daughters.
