mistybunny Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I am new on this site, doing some research looking for information on my ancestors. I can't physically come to England so I'm trying to do the best I can via the internet. My Great Grandfather was William James Needham of Paddocks Farm, Heeley, Gleadless. Born 'around' 1877. Fathers name could have been James. Great Grandmother: Gertrude Ellen Carrington Born June 5 1876. They were married at the Parish Church Heeley on June 5 1895. Gertrudes parents were Charles and Matilda (nee Ward) Carrington. Gertrudes sisters were Lelia Matilda Carrington, who married Thomas Henery Norris of Fansworth Lancashire 1900. Other sister, Amy, married Go. Herbert Berresford at Parish Church Woodhouse 1911. Trying to get information on these people, as well as Woodhouse Cemetery, and a contact for them or website. If anyone knows anything please do not hesitate to contact me. Thanks in advance for help or suggestions. Gwen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are buried in Burlington, Ontario, Canada in Woodland's Cemetery. You can contact me at mm.gilmore@hotmail.com. Hope you do.
