My great-great grandfather was Charles W. Gardner. His birthplace was Jerseyl Isle we believe but now I am not too sure since we can't seem to find any information. His parents names were Henry W. & Elizabeth (Bradley) Gardner. I found that in 1860 they were listed in the New York Cortland town of Homer census with a Martha Twentyman living with them and Henry was listed as a Gentleman for the occupation and 71 years old. I am looking at any information on the family name Gardner. The family was supposed to have came over to the United States when Charles was 17 (1851-3). Henry and Elizabeth returned home to England and demanded that Charles come with him but he was in love and remained and married Martha Twentyman in 1862. This story has been consistent with everything that we do have but haven't found anything in England. I now have a listing in the Cemetary that lists Henry Gardner dying in Cortland New York so I don't believe they went back to England. I am not sure where to go from here.
