I have been working on a family tree. I posted here before and am thankful for the response about my grandfather's family. I have a little more information to go on now about my grandmother's family. If anyone has any information about them or where I might find information I would appreciate it very much. I almost feel as though they never existed...but they had to because I am here today! My grandmother was Catherine Logan. She married Leslie Markwell and they moved to the USA (Chicago) in Nov/Dec 1950 from Bedlington. They had three children when they moved to Chicago and then added one more son after moving. Their children were/are Eileen Heather Markwell, Alexandra Whilamina (Sandra) Markwell, Edward John Markwell, and Kenneth Lee Markwell. My mom is Sandra. Catherine, my grandmother, was born on July 7, 1923. She had three brothers that I know of and one sister. Possibly another brother, a half brother. Her siblings were William Logan born in 1919, James Logan born in 1921, Robert Logan born in 1922, Doreen Logan born about 1926 or 1927. Their mother died in childbirth with Doreen. From what I have uncovered so far their mother's maiden name was Bottoms. I recall my grandmother always telling us her mother's name was Jane. So that would make it Jane Bottoms as her mother and unknown Logan as her father. My sister thinks maybe Bernard Logan but we are not sure. I found a Jane Bottoms with a birth year that would fit the time frame...1888 with her parents being John and Hannah. If someone has information to prove or discredit this as her and her family please let me know. I am grasping at straws for information. Robert, my grandmother's brother, died around age 19 of turbuculosis. Doreen was taken away by an auntie or some other relative to be raised. My grandmother never really knew what became of her. James married Elsie. I believed that her last name is/was Grant and she has a brother named Roger married to Edna. Thank you to anyone who has taken the time to read this plea for help in finding out about my family. It bothers me that I cannot find any records of my grandmother or her parents. I have a membership for Ancestry but still nothing. I will look up information in exchange for information if need be. My grandmother wanted this information for a long time and I put it off and put it off and now that she is gone I cannot forgive myself for not doing it sooner. I MUST find this information. Thank you. Jennifer A
