Sorry about that! :D In regards to certificates or anything solid like a paper document for birth/death/marriage dates, no, I don't. But, here's what I do have: Marriage date for John Ainsworth and Rachel Hoerne/Horne/Horn from the IGI: 12 Nov 1882 in Clitheroe, Lancashire, England. (This would be John Ainsworth #2). Card from the Yakima Valley Genealogical Society library: AINSWORTH, JOHN b. 2 Apr 1863 in Harwood, England d. 21 Jul 1919 in Dalton, WA (USA) m. Rachel Horn b. 28 Jan 1859 in Manchester, England d. 14 Mar 1951 in Seattle, WA (USA) His parents: Father: John AINSWORTH of Padiham (Pediham?), England Mother: Agnes Windshill of Yorkshire, Engl. According to the death notice for John #2, he died in 1919, thirty-one years after coming to the U.S, so apparently he and Rachel came to the U.S. around 1888 and lived in several of the eastern states. Their son William (my gr. grandfather), was born in Ohio in 1890, sometime after whose birth they moved out to Dalton, WA because their settling there was also in 1890. I hope that's helpful for you. Once again, THANKS SO MUCH!!! Linda
