Been browsing online for Santus family and found this site and think Lily Santus (nee Frost) is the right family. I have a Soldiers bible which belonged to a T.(Thomas?) Santus. I have scanned in the back pages. The first page reads "Presented to his Mother Mrs L. Santus, 49 Linney St. Wigan, from her son L/dr T. Santus in the year 1935". The last page reads "If this book should chance to roam, Box it's ears and sent it home, to Charles Santus, 49 Linney St, Wigan." the signed 'Chuck' at the bottom.

Hi Mark, I am reasonably sure Thomas was my great grandad. My father Peter Santus has told me his dad is Norman and his dad was Thomas. I will dig a little deeper and let you know. Thanks for the interesting post !

My Mum has just seen this photo and this is written by her Dad. The Mum is Lily Santus, there's a photo I've uploaded in this album of Lily and Thomas. Chuck is Thomas's younger brother Charlie.
Would you be interested in selling this bible as it would be such a wonderful thing to have back in the family.

It's a long time since this was posted, but I've done the Santus family tree on Ancestry. Happy to share it with you - email if you're interested. Lily Santus nee Frost was my great-grandma; her eldest son Ernest was my grandad. I remember Charles (her youngest son) and his wife Frances very well - lived in Whelley.
