As you may recall from a communication with you a year or two back, I'm distantly researching ancestry of Tabitha Lever/ Leaver b. 1840 of Haggate ( mother Mary Leaver; Grandmother Mary Jackson) and still working on the exact ancestry......
Threlfall (Southport), Isherwood (lancs & Canada), Newbould + Topliss(Derby), Keating & Cummins (Ireland + lancs), Fisher, Strong& Casson (all Cumberland) & Downie & Bowie, Linlithgow area Scotland . Also interested in Leigh& Burrows,(Lancashire) Griffiths (Shropshire & lancs), Leaver (Lancs/Yorks) & Anderson(Cumberland and very elusive)
