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

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.

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 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.
