Descendants of Winifred (Elizabeth) FRITCHLEY Formerly SAICH m/s BURKE

Richard Fritchley and Winifred Burke

Ada May Cummins nee Matthews according to the birth certificates of her children and nee Hamilton according to her death certificate has been the hardest lady to trace along with her husband William John Cummins (A BREAK ON THE CUMMINS WOULD BE WELCOME!). I had applied for a birth certificate of Ada Mary Hamilton in 1881 whose parents were John Adam Hamilton and Matilda Fritchley, but had never been able to PROVE that it was the same person.
