I think you have hit pay-dirt. My own line descends from the same tree and involves a confirmed family legend involving large estates throughout Yorkshire. The line you are working up from is a line that has eluded me for decades. I am aware that the line had links to Chicago but had never really considered they had moved out of the area, let alone England. I am mortified that your posting is over 8 years old but my personal email is [email protected] and I would be delighted to hear from you. Very best regards David Newby Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
