Hello!! so glad to find you, Edith Mary Grey was my maternal grandmother though sadly she passed before my birth. my paternal grandfather was Edward Victor Sorensen, I understand they were married after she was married to your grandfather Fred. I recently found out that Eadie as she was known was married prior to my grandfather and that would be your grandfather Fred. Also see online they had a son called Roy Maurice Tarrant, do you know about him? I'm Joanne, hope you see this :)
Joanne so glad you found me as well Roy Maurice Tarrant was my uncle who died in ww 2 over the pacific in 1944,

Hello Alisia!! so good to read you here and so sorry its taken this long. This site doesn't notify me when messages come through. My sister has visited me here tonight and we were talking about our new uncle and then saw your message, I think we are cousins?half? Yes my Mum, Julie Sorensen is their daughter and her brother Phillip Sorensen, both passed away now. I talked to them both about their Mum,Eadie and I am sure they knew nothing of their other siblings! My Mum would have been delighted to know them. Our grandmother, Eadie died at age 50, so my Mum was only 18 and Phillip 16. We don't have much in the way of photos of her but there is at least one I know of, I will try to get this to you asap also emailing you in case you don't see this xox
Hi Jo so happy to hear from you, funny thing is my sister was here last night and we where talking about Eadie and family, cant wait to see a photo
