Hi, I have just come across your message about Margaret Blackburn, she is on my family tree born 1834 at Dearham, her father Joseph/Joshua is my gt.gt. grandfather. I haven't found a marriage for her until she marr. Andrew Robson, when she already had two sons, William bap. Jan. 1855, died April 1874, and John Joseph bap.1857.
Margaret was the eldest, her mother was Ann/Nanny Highmore born 1808 at Dearham. Her father died Oct.1864, aged 64 and is buried at Gilcrux churchyard, sometimes his name is Joseph, Joshua, or the only baptism I could find which fitted was for a Jesse bap. 1802 at Wigton.
I was very interested to hear they had emigrated to Nebraska, as on the death certificate for Ann/Nanny Blackburn the informant was her granddaughter Annie Robson.
I hope this helps and maybe we can exchange some more info. Margaret.
