Hi Brian,
I believe that we are related from reading your posts on here. I am the Grand daughter of William Herbet Bangs also and mostly known as Bill Bangs, who married Lillian O Rouse, Their had a daughter called Barbara Ann Bangs.
My Grand father had a sister called Edith who married a Pugh and had a son called John Pugh.
I do not know much of my Grand Fathers side of the family as i was very young when he passed away. I am very interested in learning and finding out more on my family's side.
Adrian Bangs would be my Great Grand Uncle.
I have contact with Diane in New Zealand, but have not heard from her in while, i also have contact with Andy also but i have not heard from them both in a while.
I have been researching the Bangs side of my family since 2000 but stopped for several years as i came to a complete stand still, i have since re-started this year again.
Would be nice to hear from you and if you have any further information on the Bangs family that would be appreciated.
Thank you
Sonia
