Lots of my lines are not practical to follow. Streluk is an Ukrainian name. My family came from not far from Luboml. Although I am interested in these origins I am far from an expert.

Other names include Allen from Leicestershire, Henley, from Buckinghamshire, Brindley from Warwickshire, Mason and Skellett of Tamworth, Staffordshire and Fern and Parker from Derbyshire. I have one line from Essex, but I know little about where Mary Nash came from.

Favourite Ancestors

Amelia Grace is an interesting ancestor. The photograph of her, combined with what I knwo about her life, makes me insterested in her and her family. She was born in Whaddon, Buckinghamshire, UK in 1849. She married Robert Henley and died in 1906 at Wilnecote, Warwickshire, UK. I often wonder if she saw her old home again, or her family, after she left.

 

William Henley, her son, joined the Canadian Expeditionary Force in 1914. He settled in Camrose, Alberta, Canada. What a long way from home he lived. In this photograph he is waring the uniform of the Legion of Frontiersmen.
