Hello, just wondering if there is a Hadie Pollock, in the Pollock family, Haddie was a good friend of my gr grandmother, Frances Bessie Day, when they were young women, in the 1870's and 1880's. IF you can offer any information on Haddie Pollock I would appreciate it, we have photos and think they might be of Haddie, and Frances. I live in Australia, where Frances came to, by ship. thanks Kathy,
