Hello Janet, Thanks for the response and yes these are the correct Jacob and Sankey families. I do have that information also plus some will excerpts but also have no mention of the Catherine you have listed married to Wm. Quillinan. I have a partial Jacob, Sankey tree but of course it is almost exclusively males noted (typical !!). The Sankey were related to the following families: MINCHIN, JACOB, LATHAM, MILLET & PERRY. If you are interested in the partial tree I have let me know and I'll be happy to pass it on. Thanks again, Karen reojan@gmail.com wrote: >Karen, I have one Sankey record.
