Author	...but I can find nothing about my specific Franklin ancestors apart from a bit about the Cuckoo Oak Pub in the UK

Famous Writer Customers Gamma GenoPro version: 3.0.1.4 Last Login: Wednesday, November 24, 2021 Posts: 249, Visits: 781	My maternal grandfather, William Robert Franklin (d. 10 July 1971), was one, presumably the oldest, of three brothers (the other two being Ronald and Norman; I have no middle names given for them) who were sons of Robert Harold Franklin (1884-1969) and Nellie May Shipton (1888-1966). Robert had a brother named Charles, about whom I know nothing else, and their parents were William Jesse Franklin (1847-1935, immediate ancestors unknown) and Emma Yates. This is from a pedigree fragment drawn up by William Robert's brother Ronald for one of my older cousins; I have been able to find nothing official, despite most (if not all) individuals involved being born over 100 years ago. I know that his brothers have living descendants, but I have not yet been able to establish (or re-establish) contact with any of them. The hearsay pedigree I have mentions an Aaron Franklin who married an unnamed woman from France, but it is unclear whether they are William Jesse's parents or more distant relations. Then there is a big gap, but Aaron is supposed to be the descendant of a John Henry Franklin (1541-1595) who had three sons: two named John and a third named Edwin. It is unclear as to which son Aaron is descended through. Either my search-fu is pathetic, or I'm not looking in the right places, or the information does not exist online (or has been lost entirely). Hopefully someone else here is also a descendant of one of these Franklins and can help me out; many thanks in advance. The aforementioned Cuckoo Oak and its connection to this Franklin family is described here. GenoPro: Best. Genealogy. Software. Ever. Edited: Saturday, April 23, 2016 by Jakk
