Find Ancestors

Not on this one thanks, Ive since got a lot more info since I first posted and have rounded my Layfields up. Thanks.

Hello Marian, well, while you're here is there anything we can help you with? :-)

Hello Robert, although Ive been a member for some time I still haven't got the hang of this site. I only go on once or twice a week and it seems to change all the time. Ive only notice the addition to this thread but unfortunately your ancestors do not match mine. It is the Layfield connection I am interested in but Leah is not related to mine. One of my Layfields went to Canada and I thought Leah might have gone to the same place, but didnt. Good luck in your search.

Hi Robert,

You can also try putting the names you are researching into the Search Trees box above to see if anyone else has them in their tree.

If you find a connection, you can contact the tree owner.

Also, if you would like help with your research, why not start a thread of your own as there are plenty of people willing to help you? Take a look at the Help clinic - above left - for further advice. Cx

Hello Robert, it's over a year since the last entry on this thread so Marian may not be checking back. You could click on her name to send a message directly to her which she'll receive if she's kept her GR account up to date.

am starting my own research and note you have unearthed information concerning my paternal grand parents socrates davis and 'jeannie' wharam. Although only tenderfooting my efforts family info does vary slightly to that posted above. If you are still researching not wish to tread on toes but would like to know of any connections you/us?

Just logged on and seen the additional entries. Thanks everyone.

Going to visit her brother Dan Daniels, Los Angeles, California.

A tree on Ancestry says that her parents were Robert Layfield and Tabitha Daniels so Uncle Dan Daniels makes sense.

There's a Dan Daniels on the 1930 US census living at 910 San Vincente Blvd. He's 65 born England, emigrated 1887. His wife is Cora, 58, born Ohio.

On the passenger list going to New York she gives name of nearest relative as cousin A. Layfield, Dew Lane, Ormsby. Middlesburgh. Says she's going to uncle D. Daniels, 910 San Vincente Blvd., Santa Monica, California.
p.s. I know Ormesby and Middlesbrough are spelled wrong, I just copied what was written.

She returns in June:
