Sandra I hope everything is ok with your family ,we have been concerned. Big hugs.

Thank you so much for all this info it's much more than I could hope for.
I didn't know that Rosehannah went to USA. I knew 1 sister did and she died out there so now that's 2.
I'm going to read the info now and will get back to you.

That was fascinating and so much more for me to add to the FH book , bless you Sandra. I do appreciate all this info, thank you very much.

That's incredible Sandra ! I've only just finished reading the last info  ;D
I found Lily on the census at Leics as a child and yes those are her sister's names. It seems that a few of her family left here then.
Thank you so much.
