Hi.

I'm still on the hunt for Hannah Mensforth/Monsforth who m. 1786 at Whitby. There were 2 other Mensforth who m. in Whitby around that time, Jane & Mary. Just wondering if they were related so I am looking for the parents of Jane & Mary.

Regards,

Gary.

Hi.

Thanks very much for that. Richard & Martha look like they could be her parents but they are not recorded as being from Whitby. The odd thing re Hannah is that she died after her husband & those children who died but there are gravestones for them but nothing re her. I suppose they mat have split or she changed religions & is buried in an unmarked grave somewhere else in Whitby. I know a daughter Susannah Race m. Francis Allison, my forebears, & despite the Race family mostly being poverty stricken, William Race had made  himself somewhat wealthy & he paid for Susannah & Francis to come to Australia. I take it that Hannah was not agreeable. Francis & Susannah married at Folkton with no family members.

Cheers,

Gary.
