Hi Jo,
Bertha Margaret Blinman is also my childrens Great Grandmother and we would dearly love to find out as much information as we could. I have heard some stories about her from my mother in law and she sounded like she was the salt of the earth.
Looking froward to hearing from anyone who has some information for us all.
