Hi

Thread now closed - as I am due to return to work, I can no longer do any lookups - I've enjoyed doing it and it helped pass the time whilst I was on sick.

Cheers

Re Thomas & Matilda Moull - no luck, sorry, there's not many by that name, and none that match your couple.

HI Gil

No luck with your Corrin family, I tried 1850 & 1860, but it could be he arrived just too late for the 1850 census and returned to the UK just before the 1860.

Sorry

Hi Carol

Is there any chance you could look for a Mildred B. Ling from Baltimore. Think she was born some time around 1920.

Many thanks.

Hi Carol

this is a bit of a long shot but cant you see if you can find any trace of Thomas or Matilda Moull both were born in 1861 in sufffolk I have them on 1881 census but not a trace of them in england after that. Had a quick flick through the american census and things on ancestry and their were a couple of possible matches but i only have uk membership so cant access the records.

I wonder if you could do a look up for this family please?

In 1861 Edward and Margaret Corrin were living in Isle of Man with a young family -one of the children had been born in Cleveland America!!!

The family in America may/should have been the following

Edward Corrin born c1821 Isle of Man Joiner
Margaret Corrin born c1828 Isle of Man
Margaret Corrin born c1847 Isle of Man
Edward Corrin born c1850 Cleveland America

Thanks Gil

Hello Carol,

Many thanks for trying to find ISAAC and ELIZABETH ROW for me - they have proved very elusive! Only missing links in that part of my research! Guess I'll have to keep hoping and searching!

Thanks again - Joy
