Does anyone have any further information about the ealry years of Elizabeth Gibbons (my 2 x great grandmother)? She was born in Donegal around 1834 to a father James who was a farmer. At sometime she moved to Leigh in Lancashire where she met my 2 x great grandfather Isaac Grundy. They married in 1863 in St Joseph's RC Church in Leigh and had my great grandfather David in 1864. In later censuses she puts her occupation as a milliner. I'd love to know where exactly she was born, who her mother was, did she have brothers and sisters, when she emigrated to England and with whom. Did her father die in Lancashire or Ireland (he was deceased at the time of her marriage). Many thanks Barbara ________________________________ Barbara Taylor Craigfryn Llangranog Llandysul Ceredigion SA44 6SP tel: 01239 654383 mobile: 07985 323859

No record of these names in the BIVRI2 disks for the areas your listed, in fact no mention of them at all. These disks are just a fraction of what is available at the FHC.
