Family History Beginners Board / Bakewell Genealogy Questions
« on: Friday 05 June 09 04:46 BST (UK) »
Hello all! I am a newbie to the site and currently reside in the US and I have been trying to find information regarding my past and present family. My family has a fairly rich heritage in Middletown, NY USA especially within trade jobs throughout the centuries.
I have a few burning questions and I hope someone can help me out. My great, great, great grandfather is Josiah Bakewell who was born in Derbyshire England in the town of Bakewell in 1818. He immigrated to the US in 1846 or so and I am trying to find information about my family before he left England and especially about my family here in the states.
I cannot find any information regarding Josiah's parents, siblings or relatives that may have remained in England and I would love to find out about them and see if any still live in England. Josiah was a premier saw maker in the UK as well as the US and his saws are highly sought after collectors pieces here in the US.
So, if anyone has any information about the Bakewell family and if I have any relatives elsewhere I would greatly appreciate any information. My grandmother Ada just turned 104 this week and there are only three Bakewell's from Josiah's line still alive anywhere to my knowledge. This includes my grandmother, myself, and my father. Thanks so much in advance!!!
Sincerely,
J. Bakewell
