In Response To: Leslie Heaps Long lost cousin from Barrow(England) (Maureen Robinson)

Hello:
Just looking for people with my maiden name. Your posting caught my eye, with the name Heaps and the mentioning Preston. My Grandfather came to America through Canada when he was in his early 20's. He is from Preston where all my relatives still live, although I have lost contact. I knew about my Great Aunts and Uncles but not about any of the generations that followed. Although I am looking for my cousin Roxie Heaps who wrote me a few times and should be in her 40s and probably married. Anyway, my Grandpa John Joseph Heaps from Preston had 13 brothers and sisters. I don't know all their names. His mother was Mary Ellen Heaps and father Joseph John Heaps. I do remember an uncle Teddy Heaps from Preston. I don't know if you have run across any of these names in your quest.
I would love to find any information. I will look through my limited pictures from the family and see if I find any Leslies. My Grandfather said that all the Heaps's are related and that there are not too many. My Grandfather saw that a lot of the family moved to Canada because a female Heaps married someone that owned a business there and offered the family jobs.
I must be bending your ear.
