Hi Ann,
I'm new to this forum, so please bear with me!
I think that I am a distant cousin - the Miles's in Crankypants 2nd July post are my direct ancestors, going down the Benjamin/Benjamin line.

I had been following the same line as in this thread, and had followed the "Chemist" line with interest. I have no definite proof of this connection but would be interested if you have.

I have a few older bits & peices back into the late 1700's. Bill

Hi Bill

Thomas and Gertrude Miles were the parents of my late Grandad ( Reginald Bertie Miles). He died when I was a kid, I rearly have very little info on any other members of the family, I do recall my Grandad talking about his brothers Donald and Harold.

sorry if this is not much help too you, and sorry for taking so long to answer

Ann

To Bill.M (Re: Miles 1880's)

Hi Bill

Thomas and Gertrude Miles were the parents of my late Grandad ( Reginald Bertie Miles). He died when I was a kid, I rearly have very little info on any other members of the family, I do recall my Grandad talking about his brothers Donald and Harold.

Thomas Miles and Gertrude Miles were my Grandads (Reginald Bertie Miles) parents, Crankypants post shows Thomas as a young lad with his brothers and sisters, but his father was also called Benjamin.

I am also quiet new to this and all I have is the link to my Grandad, kindly found by crankypants.

sorry if this is not much help too you, and sorry for taking so long to answer

Ann
