I believe that I am related to this family. My mother was Phylis Parker (Lye) with a twin sister Dorothy Lye and they lived in Coventry UK before going to Australia. I would love to hear from the family. My name is Ann Harper (Parker) e mail address annharper125@gmail.com. I hope you can help. Kind regards Ann.
