Whiteoak Family

[Eliza Ann Sullivan]

Hi, I have a Smith Whiteoak born approx 1846.  Smith Whiteoak was previous married to Ann Bank 1871 (Skipton (9a 77)but there were no children and she died March 1883 Skipton. He then married Jane Preston spinster June 1883 Keighley (9a 250)

They had a daughter Mary Ellen 3rd May 1884 Lower Clough, Brookden - birth registered in Sub district of Barnoldswick in the County York.

Jane previously gave birth to James Preston 23/07/1879 (my grandfather) as an unmarried mother (father unknown) in Long Preston Settle Yorkshire

Jane Preston is my Great Grandmother and after giving birth to Mary Ellen the whole family seem to disappear.  Can anyone come up with an explanation of how all three can disappear - Emigration ??

Yes,I understand that you're looking for WHITEOAKs and not SMITHs.

However-I went looking for a family with the right ages and places of birth (Lothersdale,Long Preston and Barnoldswick) and came up with that SMITH family in Blackburn. Long shot,I know!

Didn't your James PRESTON end up in Blackburn as well?
