Research Notes

Emma Bland is Sylvia's great great grandmother on my father's side of the family and Henry Bland, her brother, is my great, great, grandfather on my mother's side. They are brother and sister so my family tree links up at the top as well as with my parents. I have a copy of her death certificate listed below.
