I am looking for details re my grandmother. She was born in Dublin. Her name was Elizabeth chivers. She came over to the Wigan area and married a widower named John whittle. This was in the mid to late 1800's he had children from his previous marriage to Alice. They had 2more children namely Elizabeth and Joseph. Joseph was born in 1900 he was my father. I am lead to believe that my father had a cousin and an uncle in Dublin. One a policeman the other a priest. Don't know which way round. But they lived in Dublin. I think that the family could have been farmers. I m desperate to meet my long lost family. Please please can anyone help. Regards Joan <3

Hi Jess, Perhaps you can help me. I have in 1881 Census, Robert Johnson Preston, 26 yrs, grocer & draper, with his wife Emily O Preston (the O is mistaken, her middle name is Derwent on IGI), and two littlies, 2yr old Emily G(race) and 3 month old William L(eadley) Preston, living in Thorne, Yorks. I would like a) this family in 1891 and 1901, but b) More importantly, Robert Johnson Preston earlier in 1871 and even 1861 as his big brother William (b c1835) emigrated to NZ but we do not know when. The bros were born in Easingwold Yorks. Parents George and Elizabeth (Hobson), all info from IGI and freebmds so far, middle siblings Hobson, Elizabeth, Charles Henry, Marianne and Isabel. Thanks so much Heather in Australia
