tasha_78 Â Â 10 #6 Posted October 4, 2011 only got as far back as Quirico`s parents, who obviously weren`t from England, so no records to see. Do you want me to carry on looking at Quirico`s wife`s family, who were all from Sheffield, as far as I can see? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
