Hi Sharon, Sunday School Records! That sounds very interesting. The Hagley did send me copies of John Welsh's pay records from 1813/14 but I did know they also had Sunday school records. However, his son, George, would have only been a year old. Something to look forward to. My ggg grandfather was protestant so I will be checking local cemeteries. Thanks John [email protected] wrote: >John, >If he worked at the Powder Mill you most certainly have to go to the Soda >House.
