I know who you mean. His brother lives around the corner from my sister in Rhiwbina. Hopefully now he won't ring me every-so-often to see if I have any more on Blandford Lucas !

Hi Bob
It had to do with a funeral anouncement in the South Wales Echo listing a Robert Sanders.
An old guy who used to live next door to my grandmother who knew my father and rings me occaisionally on family history stuff (Mainly Blandford Lucas a Cardiff pilot) Said shame that Bob Sanders has passed away.
I won't name him cos he is a daft old sod well into his 80s

I forgot to mention the Webleys of Berkley area in my list of interests.

Yes I am still around ! Don't know why he/she thought I wasn't.
My interests in Bristol area are mostly my wife's family and some descendants of the Deeres & Loves of Glamorgan that migrated to Bristol.

Oh and Jill I forgot to answer your question.
Things with me are great became a grandfather again six months ago the new one is called Mia Rossetti Jones.Thats five so far.
Don't get to get to a library or a records office these days as I am back working weekdays. Things might change when the new records office opens in Cardiff, and hopefully it will open on Saturdays.

Hi Bob in cognito how are things with you.
I did get a phone call a while back from an old aquaitance that is searching for the Lucas family. He had heard that you were no longer with us.
So glad you still are.
