The 1870 US Census show them here in America. George his Wife and children all came, everyone else stayed in the UK, from what ive been told. I dont know how true that is.

Perfect, I will change his birth year.

Please change it if it is your family but you need to add the registration details if nothing else.

You have not said where you have the birth of Mary b 1848

Where do you have the details of Henry’s parents from, especially mother as Mary?

All of that info was added by another user. I am not sure where that would have came from.

Hi Trish,

I just entered his birth date in and edited Sarah's Maiden and Married Surname in. Thank you for that.

Whats really getting to me is trying to find out more about John and Mary and his parent, going back. I would really like to try and find more family back to the 1600's.

You are very optimistic trying to get back to the 1600's with the Owen line.

I have been doing this for years and was happy to get back to mid 1750's with my Family lines. This has been properly researched with B/M/D Certs purcased, Parish Records, Wills etc.

With such a common name Owen it will be very hard and I havent found anything for John/Mary Owen yet other than Henrys Baptism.

Sarah line is a lot easier;

1841 Census in Liverpool we have;
Sarah NORCOTT, 45, Widow
Martha, 15, Spinster
SARAH, 20, Spinster***
John, 15, Son
Mary, 8, Daug
William, 5, Son

So John is either not at Home or has died between 1835-1841

Possible Marriage;
Sarah EATON/John NORCOTT
Marriage Date:   14 Apr 1816
Marriage Place:   Liverpool, Lancashire

Not LancsOPC has her as CATON

Trish :)

So John is either not at Home or has died between 1835-1841

Thank you trish. Even to get back to the early 1700's would be great. I just want to know as much about my family as I can gather.
