hi there,
On one of the ships passenger list George's occupation is Barber. I don't know what William's was.
thanks

hi there folks,
I think that the Westmorland dosen't sound right for my family. Mary Parkin (who married a Moss) came from Lincolnshire and i know that she could have moved, but don't know from this as to if it says she was born in Lincolnshire or westmorland. Clarke is a name i haven't heard from.
Does that make any sense.
thanks for everyone for having a look. I think that my family in America has buried themselves in a bunker, ha ha. Her sister is easy to find or two ships, she is called Annie Jenkinson and her hubby George Jenkinson, can't seem to find them on any American census though, but know they came back to England for something. I know their brother was called John Parkin and he was put into an asylum, so it could have been that.
thanks

Well, that looks like the same family that Jim found on the passenger lists that I found in Buffalo. Trouble is mother-in-laws name is Clark. Of course she could have remarried.
Sorry to hear that you're having such a rotten week, Ally!

hi there,
Her maiden name was Parkin, sorry for omitting that. Seem to have memory failure this week. Broke small toe and then dropped several things yesterday and son had bike stolen from him.
thanks

Possibly they married after the date of the 1861 census

Do you know Mary's maiden name? Was it Clark?

hi there, folks,
think that possibly that is the buffalo family, but mary was born in 1845ish but not swineshead, can't remember where she was born at the mo, could even be doncaster, but i think that was her sister.
Thanks
Ally

Would this be the family in Buffalo, NY in 1880?

Hi there,

Please don't use your credit for this.

Trying to find a Mary Moss and William and children Thomas and isabella. they moved to America in 1867ish. I am hoping that they still lived in Lincolnshire and that Mary was born there.

Can anyone help please.
Thanks
Ally
