I thought your John Riley was born in Ireland? The one living in Newcastle in 1851 was born in Newcastle. Georgina.

Georgina Report 1 May 2007 23:04

georgina I came up with that family awhile back but could decide if that was them as all i had them having was John Peter 1972, Thomas William 1873 and James Joseph 1876, do you think it is the same family?

kaz Report 1 May 2007 23:13

hi all, yes my John was born Ireland, i havnt got access to ancestry so when i seen a John Riley aged 9 i just assumed it could be him cos the dates added up, he married Bridget in 1870 so i was trying to find out exactly when he came over to England, thanks ladies for your assistants..x
