John James (or James John) Slowey (b. 1841) and Elizabeth Davidson (b. 22 June 1842/1847) are a set of my ggrandparents. Family history says that they were Irish, however their 1st two children were born in Glasgow. They were Elizabeth, b. 17 Feb 1866, and James, b. about 1868. The family emigrated to North America in 1869/1870. They are not found on the passenger lists of East Coast ports, so perhaps they entered N. America through Canada, although I've not found them there either. They are found in the city directory of Allegheny City (now North Pittsburgh) in 1870. Three more children were born there, Eleanor, Catharine, and Mary Josephine (my grandmother) In 1876 they moved to Pine Bluff, Arkansas. They are found there in the 1880 census. Perhaps somekind and knowledgeable person could advise me on another subject. I have found promising entries for both Jphn James and Elizabeth in the Index to Griffith's Valuation. The index gives Name, County, Parish, and Location. I also have references from the LDS FHC film library to filmstrips of the Griffith's Valuation for various Electoral Divisions. So now the question is: How do I match County, Parish, and Location with the correct Electoral District? Or is it that simple? What is Location. A geographical entity, I believe. An ecclesiastical parish, barony, or what? And what is an Electoral Division? All advice and suggestions gratefully received. Frank Gebhart
