YES!! (I'm shouting - can you hear me?) :))))

James Mumford, my brickwall ancestor, was born in Hatfield, England. I've been looking for his parents/siblings (and proof of the connection ) since I was in college, 30 years ago (off and on, of course)!!!!!!!! It's a lonnngggg story, but seeing Mary Ann's birth in Hatfield confirms that we've finally confirmed James' family. (I know it doesn't make sense, but it does to me.)

Thank you all (including Kathryn) so much for your help!!!!! 30 years and I can now say I have finally found James' family!

(May I meekly ask if anyone can find Mary Ann possibly living with Martha Mumford (b 1800) in 1851? Possibly in Fyfield, Essex? (If so, I'm praying Mary Ann's birthdates match up.)

Please, may I ask for a lookup for:
William Joseph M Rice, born c1821
and Mary Ann (Mumford) Rice, born c1826
1861 England Census
1851 England Census
(I believe they are on the above census in 1881 and 1871.)

I am at work, but will check here when I can. Receiving an answer could break down my biggest brick wall!!!! Thank you; sorry I have to get back to work. :((((((

Hi Sarah:

Just checked in here for a moment (on my way to work)...thank you very much for your lookups! I'm almost sure that's him in 1881; he immigrated in 1889 (to Canada) and was a carpenter in Canada. Even had a couple of patents. The considerate man had two of my rellies sign as witnesses on the patent papers. :)

Can't wait until tonight when I can look over everything.

Thank you so much!

Nudging for Canadian Ancestry lookups, please? :)

Oh, thank you very much, Sarah!

It's now just past 1:30 a.m. here and I have to work "tomorrow" so I better turn off the computer. If you would like to pm me with your information, I could have a look for your Canadian rellies tomorrow night? I've had some success in the 1800's - not too much success after 1910ish. My ancestors settled in Ontario, so my "expertise" :) is with Ontario records. However, there are a few people on GR who have access to Canadian Ancestry, so they might be able to help you as well.

Night for now. Thank you so much for the 1860 census!!!
