Jul 1929, Newport RI. Married Thomas H. Millington. (my great grandparents) Her parents were Joseph Atkinson and ??? Sheldon. Montreal. This is as far back as I have been able to get with this line. I would love to know if the Atkinsons were loyalists who left this country or English and went directly to Canada. Hope this has helped although I doubt it. Brad
