Hello, I'm new to the list and researching a friend's great-grandfather, Thomas Turner Catterall, born in England about 1854, died in Scott County, Iowa, USA in 1928. He immigrated before 1880, because he was first found in the 1880 US census in Rock Island County, Illinois, boarding with a private family, and his occupation was given as civil engineer. I joined this list because I located a Thomas Turner Catterall born June 1853 in Preston, Lancashire, on the FreeBMD records website. Thomas married Katherine Becker in Iowa in 1893, and they had children named Mary, Margaret, Paul and Mabel. Paul was my friend's grandfather. I am hoping to locate the parents of Thomas and hopefully connect with another family researcher so we can share information. Thank you, Shirley Siltala Tucson, Arizona
