Hi Rosie. Thank you for replying. I'm totally new to searching for my roots and new, as of today, to Rootschat. I don't know about the reference numbers you quoted. However John and Mary had 8 children: -John (b 1862), Daniel (b 1864), James (b 1867), Mary Ann (b 1872), Thomas - my grandfather (b 1874), Pickering (B 1876), Roger (b 1879) and Charlotte (b 1880).
I wonder if John and Mary's parents came from Ireland as I cannot find them on the census.
