Hi Andy,

Christina here!
We must be relatives, as this lady is MY great grandmother, I have the original photo.
Her daughter Florence was my nana, my mums mum.
The information that I have re her first husband Donald was "created" by my mum's brother whom I believe may have invented some of the family info.
My email is
tinatrev@bigpond.net.au
Would love to correspond.

Christina

Its amazing, all the people, all the history, all the lives that go into making one individual...

My cousin who we visited back in Canada looks EXACTLY like her in the lower picture. None of us had ever seen a picture of this lady before.

In 1900 she took (for the day) the amazing step of divorcing her husband.

This lady ran a restaurant in Liverpool and counted as friends a number of crew who went down on the Titanic. My father was born in her apartment above the restaurant at #91 Dale St. She was discovered dead at the restaurant at age 59 from a massive heart attack, March 25, 1918.

WOW - my great grandfather Charles Angelo Leon ran a restaurant, too, and was also found dead in its basement - He was in his 50s and died of a massive heart attack.

Undeniable links between rich foods and DEATH!

Wow, in that first picture, it's like Andy with hair stuck on his head, breasts and a dress.
Honestly look at the eyes !

Hahahahahahaaa ! (all of this said in the gigantic respect I have for you and all your ancestors)

You have more respect for some of my ancestors than I do. I'll have to tell you about my grandfather when we are down in LA.

My goodness, that sounds fun ! But maybe I'll see you beforehand at Mark's birthday ?

I was going to reply that I didn't KNOW about Mark's birthday party, but just as I was about to, BANG! There came Mark's email announcing it. You bet we'll be there! Just one question though. If I dress up as a pmumkin, will people try to carve me?
