Thank you very much to all who replied to me about finding Thomas Firth who was born in England in 1826 and might have ended up living in Cincinnati. Dave Heller gave me the following information-- >From "Index of City of Cincinnati, Ohio Deaths 1888-1890" -   Firth, Thos. white, age 67 years, born England, died 3/13/1889, buried Wesleyan, Entry #243 Ann in Florida has come up with this too and a lot of other information that could be useful and she has suggested that I ask if anyone knows how to access the burial information.    How can I find out where this man was born?  Again, thank you for any further help you can provide.    Even if it's not the same Thomas Firth, at least then I'll know enough to stop barking up this tree.  Best, Lois in Massachusetts
