In my previous post there was a photo of a group of people by a lake in Canada. These were William and Mary Stacey and their cousin Annie Broadhead (right).
My family tree programme has calculated my relationship with them and I was surprised to find that they were my 1st cousins twice removed.
In a previous posting from June 2016 I mentioned Annie as the person who embroidered a picture which was sent to me by Liz Bucknell who was another 1st cousin twice removed of Annie.
I find relationships a bit confusing but to put it as simple as I can we are all descended from my g g grandparents John and Mary Stacey. I was descended from their daughter Everil, Liz from their son John and Annie from another of their daughters Ann.
This is getting a bit long winded so to the purpose of this post. I can now put a face to the talented lady who embroidered the picture. I believe that Annie and her husband only had one child, a boy so maybe that is why her lovely work was passed on to her cousin Patricia who was Liz's mother. Apparently Patricia had several items that Annie had made and when Patricia passed Liz offered me this one. An heirloom to treasure.
