Dear Karen, something happened to my computer and I lost my reply so hope you don't get two !! It would be lovely to keep in touch so my email is esme156@gmail.com. My daughter is interested in the Ryves/Bignell part of our family and I know very little about Ryves as Den's Mum died before I was married. However, everyone who knew her said what a lovely person she was. Maybe one day I can"introduce" you to Helen via email so she has a Bignell relative be it ....removed. Don't think she ever met any of the Newbury relations it was only Phillip who did. Speak again soon. love Esme
