thankyou Janis, I was on a bit of a fishing trip here, not sure whether her maiden name was Bowman or Watson. I will check the marriage details to determine if this is indeed the correct Elizabeth.
Can any one assist in providing information about the family of Elizabeth Bowman, namely her parents & or siblings, born abt 1844 West Pitts, Byers Green, Durham & married in Auckland 1869 to Thomas Howe.
Looking for information on Wm. Kay b. 1844 Lanark. I cant find a record of death and he perhaps died in 1870+, prior to 1871 census, in Clyde area. thanks for any info.
Hi Tati, thanks for your assistance, it looks like my clan. I will now try the US census. So, it looks like only 1841 John and Emily went to USA and while the rest of the Gilchrist and Batts families stayed in Sheffield area. I wonder if there was family in USA that attracted the young couple.
thanks Tati, this looks very much like the people I am looking for. John and Emily had a son John born in Sep 1864 in Sheffield. I dont know if there were any other children. Their final resting place though is Buffalo, New York. I am trying to trace the "in between".
Hello, I am looking for a marriage between Emily Batt and John Gilchrist approx 1862 in Sheffield, West Riding of Yorkshire. Also information on both families.
