Hi Hugh, Good to see you back on the list.I hope you kept busy on your break!!!!!!! You mentioned the Irish and Roman Catholic lists being in a Cathedral in Birmingham.Do you have an address or a website for information??? 4 of my G.G.Grandparents were Irish,and Roman Catholic I think. I'm really struggling to get anything on them so any help would be most appreciated. Many Thanks and Best Wishes, Helen. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hugh Watkins" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, December 02, 2002 7:14 PM Subject: Re: Potters in new jersey > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: [email protected] > Sent: 02 December 2002 18:22 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: Potters in new jersey > > In a message dated 02/12/2002 18:12:48 GMT Standard Time, > [email protected] writes: > > > > Do you know if there were Potter's from Staffordshire sent to Trenton, New > > Jersey in the 1870-1890.
