Find Ancestors

Hi Tracy, Could you look for the Jones Family for me. They left England for the States between 1851 and 1860 to settle in Wisconsin. There was father John, his wife Jane Christiana, (aka Christiana Jane), and children Elizabeth born 1840, Charlotte 1844, Benjamin 1846, George 1847 and Hannah 1850. Many thanks in anticipation, Di.

Tracy Thanks for this, I'm not certain it is the same family but at least it gives me somewhere else to look - Did you get my email about the other information you sourced for me re marriages of Gerard? Any luck in finding the witnesses; parents or age when they were married? regards Trish

Hi Tracey - Many thanks for looking, it was probably just wishful thinking Regards Shirley

Siobhan, No Edwin Littlejohns - just George Littlejohn (no S)

Hi Tracy I have been unable to find one of my ancestors after the 1861 census. Could you check to see if he is in any of the lists. His name is Edwin Littlejohns born c1858, in St George Martyr Thanks

Karen, sorry - nothing there with that surname Gillian, sorry none of who you've stated, there were 3.. with 1 from Scotland and the other was from England (and GB) Joan, No records of Litherland, sorry

Hello Hve you any Litherlands on you lists please, born Manchester would be around 30yrs old onwards But any with that surname would be great, thanks Joan

Hi Tracy, does that include stops to Canada too. I have a relative named Bartholomew McDermott who emmigrated to Canada shortly after 1893. He became the first train driver to cross America I believe from what my parents tell me. You probably won't be able to find him, but just in case, he was born in 1871, if that is of any help. Take care and happy hunting Gillian (McDermott) Hindley

HiTracy, please could you look up Paul Eddy,he was from Cornwall.He may have been married but i'm unsure of excatly when he went but know that he was blinded in a mining accident and back in Cornwall by 1876, thanks for the offer, Karen.

Shirley, this is the only Thomas b. 1865 (Not your Thomas I know) HOLMES, Thomas <1865> Wisconsin 1885 Age: 20 Origin: Leeds, England Occ: Laborer Note: BMR, p. 511; Destination; Brigham; Customs Passenger, #461 Judy, Sorry - no Cosky listed in the list at all Lynda, No Arnott who you've stated, but there are other Arnotts in the list

Hi Tracey Many thanks for your offer, I am trying to trace a THOMAS HOLMES born Wiltshire 1855ish he disappears in 1882, he re-appears 1889, maybe he went to America? Regards Shirley

Hi Tracey I am looking for a John Arnott, can't find him in any census after 1871. Don't know if this helps, but born London c 1848. Thank You for looking. Lynda

Hi Tracy....thanks for your generous offer! Could you please, at your convenience, see if you can find anything on the following: Leopold Ferdinand Cosky (born April 18, 1860) came to this country from Germany on or about April 26, 1874 at the age of 14 and ended up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. As far as we know, neither his parents nor any other family members are known to have been with him. No record of his departure from ships with immigrants coming to this country could be found so far, so we assume that the family legend, that he was a stowaway on a ship, just might be true. He became a citizen on Oct.8, 1887 when he was 27 years old. There is a family member out in California who has the family bible from Leopold's second marriage and the family name written in the book is (Von) Kimenheimcosky. Many thanks! Judy
