Surnames: Cavill, Brown also Fogg, Batty, Eastwoo, Rushworth on my father's side Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/BKI.2ACIB/22.1 Message Board Post: Could your Walter Cavill possibly be my great-great-uncle, born 1856 in Ellerton, Yorkshre, married to Dorothy Ann, born Loftus in Cleveland, North Yorkshire? Walter's family (father George, mother Sarah nee Brown [my gt gt grandmother], and 5 children) moved to Loftus between the 1861 and 1871 censuses. George is mentioned in an 1890 directory as a "clothier and emigration agent" having previously been referred to as a tailor. In the 1881 census Walter (cabinet maker) & Dorothy (dressmaker) are living in Liverton, near Loftus (with no children), but they do not appear in the 1891 census. If this could possibly be the same person as yours (and even if not), please let me know. And if there is any evidence of Walter's sister Miranda or Marinda coming with them, I'd be fascinated to know as my great-grandmother apparently used to talk of "Aunt Miranda who went to America". Thanks! Diana, England
