I have just seen your site regarding the Shirley family. My father
Alan Shirley passed away just a couple of weeks ago so I was
trying to get to know a lot more about my fathers side of the
family.
While looking at your site I found details about my grandfather
Ralph Shirley and I was wondering if my email and the following
information could be passed on to the person concerned with that
side of the family.
Kind regards
Angela Rogerson (Shirley)
