hi Maureen, do you not think the first one that named children, (John Short) would be nearer the right man. How about 1861, I need to place the 2 of them together to be sure they are the right family. Going to look for births on BMD, cant fined Elizah on the LDS site, if he was born 1830, he will be somewhere.

Thanks
Kathy

Why have you posted details of Elijah/Elizah being a railway worker?

Was that a guess given the christian name?
