Find Ancestors

Looking for relatives of my grandmother, Catherine Hearth, born in Over Darwen, Lancs dec 9, 1864. She apparently had a sister Alice Ann, and 3 brothers, John Thomas, Joshua and George. I believe her father was John and mother Betty or Betsy Clapham. Any info would be amazing. Thanks so much

If you get your G/Mothers B/C it will give you her parents names including MMN

Snap, Julie
I have deleted my census

Bev, do you have all the census records ?

Hi Julie
Is it possible to find any of my uncles,etc? My father was named George and had an aunt named Alice Ann, but they were born in US. Some times I wonder if I have any relatives on that side. I appreciate your help.
Bev

No I have no census records. A firm called Ancestry research did a quick search, but I didn't learn much. As in who came before them...

Hi Bev

Welcome to the site
I've just been look on this site to see if anyone else had them names in their tree, and at the mo no-one has.....But seeing as the programme "Who do you think you are" has just started you never know someone might start looking too

I have a b.c. dated Dec 8 1864. for Catherine with parents John and Betty Hearth formerly Clapham. I have a marriage cert stating JAN 3, 1864. HE WAS MARRIED TO a Catherine Bibby, but she passed. So much info. I think when people immigrated to this country, they were to busy to keep track of the past, which is a shame.

So Catherine was probably Alice's mother.

Have given you census records for Catherines brothers John & Joshua, will now hunt for George and see if I can find Alice
