there was an Elizabeth born in Nottinghamshire but she can be ruled out as she died in 1891

This is Wonderful for the first time ever we are seeing the my Fathers side of the family. Thank you so much.

Thank you Margee, Maddie and Gins,
I think the Heward must be my Father his middle name being Henry.
But Samuel his brother should also be there as he was born before my Father.so would they have moved to USA because of the war?

Thank you all so much for all this help x
