I hope I'm on the right track here... Fellow listers I am researching the following names: HOUGH HEYWOOD JAMES HOUGH married ANN DAVIES in Eng somewhere (no dates re their births/parents/marriage/death located). The cople had 9 children, who were all born at Sugar Meadow, Oldham, Lancashire. MARGARET b 13/06/1832 JOHN b 22/01/1834 JANE b 23/01/1836 ELIZABETH b 03/03/1839 EMMA b 24/05/1841 ANN b 19/10/1843 ROBERT b 27/12/1845 WILLIAM b 10/12/1847 SARAH ANN b 27/04/1850 I am interested in learning any more about JOHN HOUGH's siblings. JOHN HOUGH (born 22 Jan 1834, Oldham Lancs.) migrated ex Liverpool to Victoria, Aust aboard the "Titan" 22/05/1857 aged 23. ELIZABETH HEYWOOD(b Oldham, Lancs. c.1839 to JOHN HEYWOOD & ANN SHAW) also migrated ex Liverpool to Vict.Aust aboard the "Donald McKay" 07/05/1863 aged 24. Also on board were MARGARET HOUGH (JOHN HOUGH's sister) and her husband JOHN WILD. I believe John and Elizabeth must have known each other before emigrating as they were married in Bendigo, Victoria Australia in 1863. Either that or that may have met through MARGARET. I have located quite a lot of information about JOHN & ELIZABETH and their children, and am now interested in researching their parents (JAMES HOUGH/ANN DAVIES as well as JOHN HEYWOOD/ANN SHAW). I have seen a census return for 1851 which gives JAMES & ANN's address as '17 Monkey Road' - is there a still a street names that, and does the house still exist? The same census gives ANN DAVIES place of birth as Holywell Flintshire, and her dob approximately 1809. James pob was given as Cheshire, and his dob approx 1808. I'm hoping that someone somewhere can help me over this permanent looking brick wall. Has anyone else been experiencing problems with rootsweb mail recently? I have not had any messages for over a week now. Thankyou Julia Mitchell Albany WA Australia
