Hi, do you know anything about the parents of MARY DERBYSHIRE, born 1851 in Pennsylvania, USA? All I know from undocumented family history is that they should have been called Samuel Derbyshire and May Standring but I do know from the US census info that Mary's parents were both born in England. I haven't found a birth cert yet and the earliest documented mention I have for Mary is the 1880 US census when she was living with her husband, William Henshaw, in Delaware, Pennsylvania. She had a brother, William Derbyshire, b1858, who was staying with them at the time of the 1880 census. The 1900 US census shows May living with William & Mary but does say that she emmigrated to the US in 1849 & that both her parents were also born in England. If you have any other info at all I would be most grateful. Good luck with your own searches! Michael |
