Many thanks to everyone who offered suggestions on the transcription of my Eleanor JAMES birth on FreeBMD a while back. I did try ordering the certificate again but have not received it as of yet. For Arthur and Isabel who both told me they have an Eleanor James who married a James Robert Thurlow-- sorry, that is not my Eleanor. Mine married Percival CLARK in 1862 and shortly thereafter went to America. That brings up another question- what were the most popular ports to emigrate from, say in the 1860s? Did many people go overland to Liverpool? Thanks again to everyone, Jennifer
