Well, ggm's parents have been hard to find.  She is called Mary Jane Winnard after marrying my GGF, on her wedding cert she is named as Mary Jane Rowe age 32 Spinster father  Edward Rowe.  However the confusion is that in 1881 there is an Edward Rowe age 8 listed as stepson living with the GGp's along with a couple of Winnard children.  Later on there is a Hugh Morris Winnard that is born to GGp's.  I can find a Mary Jane Morris m Richard Rowe and he (Richard) died after a few years (of course without a cert there is no proof it is the right ppl)  And because she couldnt make up her mind as to where she was born I have been all around the UK so to speak looking for her.

 ;)  GGM states she was born in Bilston in 1881,  Ince in Makerfield in 1891 and Blackrod in 1901!  She was illiterate at the time of marriage to GGF in 1883.  So there is no satisfaction on the census front as to say she was coloured.  :-[

 ::) Hi, Would anyone know how to find out if ones ancestor was of Jamaican origin?  I believe my great grandmother may of been or possibly her mother.  Any help pointing me in the right direction would be great.  Thanks

Hello MacFc,

Is your William related to either a Frederick or George Elliott that lived at Cleadon do you know?
