I am searching for information on a James Alexander PANTER born around 1966 in England.

In 1891 he married in Michigan US and stated his parents names were Joseph PANTER and Lizzie COE.

I thought that the family of Joseph Panter and Lucy Coe in Northants might be a possibility but there is no James or Alexander in the 1871 census with them.

The family story is that James Alexander was the black sheep and was sent away.

Any help or suggestions or connections?

Thanks

I am trying to sort out the Richards families in the Breage area.

My 3xgreatgrandfather was Richard Richards father of Edward Richards

I believe him to be Richard Richards who married Mary Williams 27 May 1822 in Breage and that he was buried 10 May 1848 in Breage. Children of this couple were Richard b1823, Mary Ann b1825, William b1827, John b1829, Edward b1832 and Joseph b1833.
I cannot find this family in the 1851 census! There is a Mary Richards, widow of a fisherman living alone in Porthleven .... but I can't find any of the children any where.

As for Richard Richards I have four possibilities baptised in Breage:

s/o William Richards & Charity Stodden 25 September 1791
s/o Thomas Richards & Ann Goldsworthy 16 June 1793
s/o John Richards & Alice Johns, 25 May 1796 
s/o Richard Richards & Elizabeth Polkinhorn  16 April 1797

I realise he might not have been baptised in Breage but I thought I should start there.

My 2xgreatgrandfather is Edward Richards, s/o Richard Richards,   married Eliza Richards, d/o William Richards on 29 Sep 1855 at the Breage Parish Church. Both were residents of Porthleven at the time of their marriage and Edward was a fisherman. Children of Edward & Eliza were Eliza b1856, Mary E b1858, Emily b1861, Edward b1862, Amelia b1866, William b1869 and John b1870.   Edward died at the age of 46 in Porthleven in 1879.


With all these Richards' I am totally bamboozled.

Any information on other children of these couples, children of Richard & Mary, or anything that might help me ... even by process of elimination would be appreciated.
