I don't otherwise have access to the 1861 or 1871 censuses (censi?). Jane was baptised in 1795 (in Kilburn Yorkshire), was recorded as 55 in 1851 which fits: she should have been abt 65 in 1861, 75 in 1871. Her stone inscription in the Upper Sackville cemetery seems to read "In memory of Jane wife of George Lund Native of Yorkshire England Died Dec 15, 1878 Aged 87 yrs Erected by James Manship & Daniel Lund Jr" which would put her birth around 1791. But the stone is barely legible, it could read aged 83 years which would fit better. Perhaps there are transcription errors in the census data, or she was less than accurate reporting her age. Frances "Fanny" (Lund) Manship was born in 1835, Bliss in 1853, James in 1856: Araminta we're not sure about but at least these records are more consistent for her, ie b abt 1858 (she married Nathaniel Hicks Jr in 1877). William and Clinton were twins, born September 23, 1866. All we know about John Manship is his name. He was most elusive, does not appear in any census but fathered children with Fanny between 1853 and 1866. Reportedly he came from England. At least one of his offspring went to Maine (James), perhaps he did too. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
