Hi Laurence
Thanks for your reply. I have seen the photo you are referring to - Thelma showed it to us one day. Not sure if she gave a copy to one of the family after she had taken it to be copied and tweaked.
Most of the research I have done has been enhanced by the information Thelma has given to me when I have asked her questions about the family. As I am a Sealeaf by marriage Julie and Thelma were a mine of information.

Hi,
Mary Miller was my grandmother Lily"s sister, parents were Frederick [or James Frederick] and Mary Ann. I was told Mary married Francis Sealeaf and I found this forum and mention of Mary and Francis. So I posted here instead of a new thread for Miller. Do you have more information on Mary and her parents?
Thanks in advance.

Fascinating thread, I have a vague memory of a girl called Pauline Sealeaf, she could have been at the same school as me, St. Winefrides.

Hi kpts
Mary Miller and Francis Sealeaf were my parents in law. Mary was born in February 1919 and Frank was born in March 1915. Mary had relatives in America and was in touch with them up to her death in 2002. If you think this is your Mary Miller then I think I can help you.
My Mary Miller had two brothers and she was the only girl, she had no sisters. Her mother Mary Burns was born about 1890. I have found a Lily Burns born in 1892. If you can supply more information by PM we might identify the right people
Regards
Chris

Wow, what a wonderful thread! Starting in 2007 and still going strong September 2012. So many "Sealeaf" relations, you should organise a meet up, however, you are going to need a pretty big venue as there are so many of you!!!!

Hi Folks
I am just bumping this topic up so that the reference to Charles Ray can be seen.

Hi Folks
I am still reseaching the Sealeaf family. It is quite clear that anyone named Sealeaf is descended from Charles Michael Sjoblad/Sealeaf and Johanna Breen who were married in 1862 in St. Patrick's Chapel, Liverpool.

Wasn't there a family called Seagraves as well. Sure they lived in the same area as Charlie.

My mother knew about the Bootle connection and the Swedish/Finnish origins of the family, but knew no more, so I am intrigued to find out more, particularly about how they came to Bootle, and whether or not there are any old photos among your members. My mum has fond memories of her grandmother Clara Sophia Sealeaf. I notice there are still a lot of Sealeaf's centered in and around Liverpool If anyone knows anything about the family, I'd be delighted to hear from you.
Hi
I went to St Winnies with Aubrey Sealeaf 1954-1960.
The family, 15 kids in all, lived at the bottom of Bedford Road just up from Stanley Road and Blackledges bakery, right next to the bomb site.
Their dad drove a Pickfords truck and one time with all of the kids hanging off it and their dad drove them up Bedford Road and all of the neighbours were cheering.

I had an uncle Aubrey Sealeaf. I am trying to find more information out about my family If you can help.
