  1. I seem to be related to you. Archibald Brizell's son William Brizell was my Greatgrandfaher. I have never seen any of these photographs before.

  2. Dear Paul This is a while back but I have been connected with Sonia after finding our connections with the Brizell Family only in recent years and only just known this blog was here, some photos I shared and others her own. I have a family Tree on Ancestry which has grown over time, Only just got interested again due to Covid "time". If you want to email with dates as it gets confusing being lots of Brizells with the same name in different eras. If you find you want to try the "Free" Ancestry and view our Brizell Trees its an option. I have renewed my membership due having more free time. The Archibald in Sonia's story was tragically killed before her mum was born so I'm guessing your Archi is 1853 & William 1882 I'm not sure. Sonia's Archie's father is my Great Uncle. Strangely I have found Cave cropped up in my Paternal Tree but obviously no connection. Alison Lea (born Liverpool) now South West UK. If this reaches you hope it helps. BW
