Thanks Roy, It's interesting to see evidence of ancestors or relationships present, wherever they may be found. I'd stopped for gas at Wilks-Barre once and while there I wondered if any Staffordshire miners had ever come there to work in the local coal mines in that part of Pennsylvania. When leaving the gas station I noticed the street name was STAFFORD Street, which seemed to answer what I had been wondering about. Another time I was to Sydney, Nova Scotia, another coal mining and steel mill area. Driving downtown I noticed STAFFORD Street and PITT Street were main streets downtown Sydney. Looking in the phone book I saw several CORBETT names. I phoned a few but couldn't get the right response I was looking for. Many Paces there but mainly of the Darius & James line. Last summer I was to Lethbridge, Alberta to see my grandfather's grave again. Many street names at Lethbridge have Staffordshire names. Maybe the same at Crowsnest Pass, Frank, Alberta. Local histories mention the many Staffordshire miners. William John Pace, NJ-Ontario German Pace line worked at Crowsnest Pass, for a local coal company too. These small details of available evidence make for good historical accounts of these colourfull bygone folk. Also at Crowsnest Pass was a train robbery. Sam Jones, my granfather's relative, was the train conductor. Interesting chapter in a book written about early train history of the area. All great stuff. Thanks again, GTP Roy Johnson wrote: > Yes.
