I must admit the two Axhorn girls,Pauline and Merl were very beautifull girls in their younger days won a few competitions I believe.

Hi Mark.
Im sure we have a link, my grandmother Charlotte Matilda is either a sister or aunt to your grandmother. Do you know her date of birth ? Im pretty sure it would be 1909 ish, mother and father - hannah and william? Her brother was killed in world war one. I have his obiturary should this interest you.

Hello Glam
My nans details Elsie May Axhorn 1909 - 1998 and yes her parents were hannah and william
is the obiturary of Benjamin John Axhorn 1899 - 1918 this would be of interest
Looking at the tree I have so far Charlotte was Hannahs sister so my nans Aunt as you posted - That would make you a Pritchard?

I have just returned from my 95 year old Aunt and she has a photo of 7 Axhorn sisters taken around 1900, also have the names of Axhorns from a copy of a Census in 1871 from Chard where we think the Axhorns were before they went to Dowlais

I have just returned from my 95 year old Aunt and she has a picture of 7 Axhorn sisters from Chard who we think had connections in Wales taken around 1900 or maybe earlier
