Hi Janice

My great grandfather appears on this list – Henry Youldon – and I also can see other names of relevance from when I have done work on our family tree.

I was just wondering how you fit in overall. I also noticed you are from Australia too. Henry’s daughter moved to Australia in 1959.

Regards
Mike.

My grandfather Arthur Henry Swindlehurst was the brother of Elizabeth Swindlehurst. I haven’t really researched the Culshaws, but the info I have gleaned about the Culshaws has been of interest.
This may not be relevant, but many years ago I had a Summer job at County hall in Preston, where I came across a Jimmy Culshaw.

On searching ‘google’ I came across this page, looking for anything on my Grandpa, who is Dudley Adderly Dashwood Sleigh. My mother is one of his three children, Alfred, my mother Margaret Norah, and Colleen. I was delighted to find your page! Many thanks

Trying to get in touch with Geoff from here in Australia, and I cannot seem to find an email address in order to send a message.

Not sure if the blog is the way to go but it’s worth a try!

cheers, Janice

My mother’s name was Bertha (Hughes) Culshaw. She was born in Sept 18, 1912 and died in August 2000. Recently I came across a few photos and began looking into the Culshaw name. When I “googled” her name, your website appeared. I believe my grandfather was Herbert Culshaw. I remember my mother talking about her brother Roy who died at an early age due to a heart defect. I believe he may have been Joseph Roy Culshaw as the dates appear to match up with my mother’s story. My mother also had a sister, Amy.
My mother married James Loynd in 1940 and they had three children: David Anthony, Graham Francis, and myself Katherine Jean. My brothers were born in England. Then my parents emigrated to Canada where I was born. We know very little of our family history and so it was intriguing to find the names of my presumed grandparents: Bertha (Hughes) Culshaw and Herbert Culshaw, along with my uncle Roy on your website.
I would have to do a bit of digging to find dates etc. as our family has been lean on keeping any sort of family records but maybe your website is a bit of a start.
Thank you,
Katherine Loynd
