Hi
I'm tracing my family, and came across the forum on my search.
My Great Great Uncle is Bertie Mills, and thanks to your work, I've found him!
Any information on the Mills family that moved from Tipton to Swinton would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again and hello!

Hi both
Thank you for all of the information, it is indeed my Bertie - his brother David Mills is my link to this branch of the family as he is my Great Grandad - they ended back in Tipton, but it looks like a lot of the family stayed up in Salford, including his Mum.
Bertie is my Great Uncle, I got carried away with too many Great's in my original post - far too excited!
Would be great to hear from any of the Mills clan that are still up there!

Hi,
Hopefully a long lost Mills may pick up on this thread and post in the future.
Best of luck with your research.

Hi, Today is the 99th anniversary of my great uncle Bertie's death and I've just come across this thread having done a quick Google search. The info provided in this thread is great, keep up the good work guys!! It would be great to get in touch with other relatives of Bertie like Jedigirl through this thread, here's hoping other Mills family members pick up on this thread in the not to distant future! Best regards :-)
