Surnames: Andrews Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Wm.2ADEB/1935.1 Message Board Post: Jenny, Discovered your query about Andrews in Dorset/Somerset today. I am descended from a Thomas Fletcher Andrews who was born in Somerset in 1852 and came to Canada by the early 1870s. He was a veteran of the Northwest Rebellion and settled in Winnipeg in 1872, dying there in 1922. I posted a query on the Somerset board and rec'd a reply stating that a Thomas Andrews had been born in Dec. 1852 to a James and Harriet Andrews (born in Piddle Trent Dorset) living in Yeovil, Somerset. There were three sisters listed in the 1851 census: Jeane (who was born in Sherborne, Dorset) and Ellen and Eliza. I have no idea if this is my Thomas or his family! All I know is that he had a sister, Ellen, who apparently never married but who lived in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. Do you know if your Andrews had any relations matching my Thomas Andrews and/or the family with Dorset connections found in Somerset? I'd love to hear from you. Thanks in advance!
