Hi Dorothy This is my wife's side of the family. I believe that she is also descended from Andrew and Elizabeth m 1800s via their son William born c1813 The only census I have looked at so far is the 1851. William gives his birthplace as Burslem. I only know the wife's name from the 1851 census as Betty which I take as Elizabeth. Their children athat I know of are- Eliza 1834 Esau 1836 Emily 1839 Jane 1843 Prudence 1847 Hannah Rebekah b1849 married James Arthur Jeremiah 1869 ( my wife Jill's GG Grandparents) All were born in Burslem We believe Hannah remarried as a widow in 1901 to John Jones What type of boat builder was Andrew was it canel barges. My next place of call is Hannah's birth cert in 1849 and a look at the 1861 census fot the family. thanks for the infomation and I will see if I can tie it all in.
