Hello Trevor and Jennifer, I'm sorry for the delay in responding. We had a major change come to our family the day after I posted and I'm just getting back to my mail. Thank you for your responses. My Forrest connection is: Mary Ann FORREST, born abt 1813 in Knaresboro and died in the 1850's in Mannington. (she married James RAWNSLEY 06 Jul 1835 in Bradford, Yorkshire.) Hope this helps narrow down the perspectus. Thank you all! (and thanks for the link!)
