They are noted on the 1870 Census as living in Philadelphia. They had three children, Harriet 1871, Henry 1874 and Sarah E. (Ellen) 1980. The children are noted to be born in Maryland, Cumberland according to the 1880 US census. There are no more records for the parents. In 1881 you can see that two of the children are living back in Mansfield as orphans with the Hurst family. This would mean that the parents died between 1880 and 1881. On the 1880 US Census you can see that they had one Son, Henry (Henery) staying in the US, but as a Lodger/Boarder with the Parkinson family aged 6. Henry's two sisters, Harriet and Sarah were Baptised in England in December 1880 in England. The move back England must have happened between the 1880 census and December 1880. I would really like to find if there are any reocords for this family at all. There are no death records in either Enalnd or the US that I can find. I wondered if anyone else may be able to have a look for me. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
