Seasons Greetings fellow Garner sleuths..........

I reside in the UK and am a descendant of JOSEPH GARNER who married SARAH
ANN MERRRIDALE in
Milton Bryant, Bedfordshire, England on the 13th October 1853.

They had 10 children - 5 of which were born in the UK - the others in
Toronto, Canada following arrival in late 1886.

I would be particularly interested to hear from any descendants of Canadian
born:

LUCY GARNER (1876-1942) who married ROBERT FAIRBROTHER

MABEL SARAH HANNAH GARNER (1890-1960) who married WILLIAM LOWE (-1975)

JOSEPH GARNER jnr (1878-1953) who married ALICE MAUD BRAID (1878-1950)

MERREDLE GARNER (1893-1965) who married VIOLA MAY BRUMBY (-1965).

Records show that JOSEPH GARNER's father was WILLIAM GARNER and indicate
that the UK family originates from and around the villages of Milton Bryant,
Battlesden, Toddington and Hockliffe in Bedfordshire.

I would be interested to hear from anyone who has been/is/will be
researching GARNER in
Bedfordshire - there may well be a connection somewhere. Perhaps there is
scope for us searching Garners in the Bedfordshire area to join up - to
perhaps 'pool' resources/data etc - anyone interested?


Regards
