Member Since: January 2007 Posts: 7 Send Message	Thank you to all of you! My GGrandmother Sarah Rawnsley born 1878 is on the 1891 and 1901 census as living with her gandparents Eliza and James Nothers. Eliza was previously married to Henry Pullan and they had 2 children, one being George Pullan. The George P and Nancy Rawnsley marriage appears after the birth of Sarah, so I am assuming that Nancy was married before, and Sarah did not take George's name. The only Nancy I can find that seems to fit the bill is the one married to William Rawnsley in 1871. I'm getting mighty confused!

Member Since: February 2003 Posts: 3 Send Message	If you find her mother was Nancy Smithies, I'm also looking at Smithies living in Elland/Stainland area at this time M
