Hi Russell, did you know that Robert Grice (George's Dad) Mum was Elizabeth Stevenson? She was my 1st cousin 4x removed. We are all interbred in Ruddington!

Hi Ralph, indeed it is a great thing at times.

Cheers, Ade.

No. so that would make Elizabeth Stevenson my great great grandmother right ?

**Adrian Stevenson** · 11-09-2011, 10:25 PM

Hi Russell, correct, the family tree goes:

Robert Grice (1818) married to Elizabeth Stevenson (1821-1904) they had:

Robert Grice 1864 married to Berth Waldrem (1866) and in turn their Son was:

George Grice 1897 - 1915. One of their other sons, Robert (1909) being you Grandad.

Here is the 1911 Census return for the family.

Cheers, Ade.

Hi Tom, it is really exciting!

Russell and I are related through blood by my Great, Great, Great, Great Grandad Joseph Stevenson 1763 - 1823. He is our mutual ancestor.

Cheers, Ade.

wow now that is a great piece of research, isn't it fantastic to just be doing a bit of random googling and come up with a load of info I didn't know and find a relative into the bargain, I was talking to my mum about it earlier and she's really looking forward to seeing the photo's and info.

I must also say having an interest in military history what a fascinating forum you have here too, thanks again Ade.

Ah. British hillbillies.

WOW! Imagine this, huh?!? How awesome that Russel was able to stumble upon this thread. Thankfully Ade decided to share this stuff!
Even more incredible is how you 2 were both drawn into research, all because of one family members' service in WW1!! Love it!

Hi Guys, some new records have been made public.

These cover "Soldiers Effects 1901 - 1929".

I have now got a scan of the entry for George. This covers pay he was owed at the time of his death in action in 1915. So £6:10 shillings was sent to his father Robert.

Cheers, Ade.
