Can you help Christine Reynolds nee Banks in her search for relatives? Christine is working on her family tree but is stumped by the Thanet connection.
She says:
“I am researching my family tree and am looking for relatives from my maternal grandfather’s branch, him being William Thomas O’Callaghan.
I am not sure how many siblings my grandfather had but know he definitely had two sisters, Nell (possibly Nellie) and Kate (maiden names O’Callaghan), both lived in Ramsgate, Dumpton Park is a place name that comes to mind.
Kate lived with Nell and her husband Jack. Nell and Jack had two daughters named Doreen and Maureen. Unfortunately I do not know their surname, they were just Aunt Nell and Uncle Jack.
I believe Doreen married John and Maureen married Bill (possibly William) again I am not aware of any surnames. My brother and I remember visiting when we were children in the 1960s and I alongside my husband(to be) remember going to Ramsgate for both Doreen’s and Maureen’s weddings, which would possibly have been in the mid/late 1970s. I am aware that Nell, Kate, and Jack would have passed some time ago but there could be a slim chance that Doreen or Maureen may still be with us.
If these people could be your relatives, ie.parents/grandparents/great grandparents please could you contact me with any information you may have about them.”
