Elizabeth: my mum remembers her father-in-law telling her his father was born in England and that his grandfather was born in France.

As it turns out: his father was born in Canada, not England. His grandfather was born in England, not France and it appears as if the family was actually in England from at least 1738, not for 5 years c1860, like "grandpa" told my mum. Our rellies and ancestors are dear to us, but don't necessarily have all of the facts.

Thank you everyone for your replies and help. There is some work to do now, with traking down papers etc....... and that will take some while, so I will hopefully come back in a few weeks with a definitive answer to my mystery.

thanks again
