Genealogy can be exciting. The following appeared on this list five years ago from a PACE descendent in Australia: [PACE-L] English Pace - 18/10/00 Hello Pace listers, This is my first posting to the list (I feel like I'm in confession !). Hope someone out there can help. Mary Ellen Pace was born in Blackburn, Lancashire, England, in 1861, the daughter of Thomas Powell-Pace and Mary Ann Byway. They married at Manchester Cathedral on 29th december 1859. Thomas was a photographer. Thomas Powell-Pace was born in Hulme, Manchester, England in 1833. he was the son of John and Esther Pace. If any of these names seem familiar, or if you are researching Paces in England, please get in touch, Judith in Australia ------ This is a long story but reveals suspected PACE descendents' connections from Lancashire Gloucestershire, Forest of Dean Tasmania, Australia. Missouri, etc. Some descendents went to PA MO CO in USA Too long and complicated to extend here. Several people, over the years have got in touch, every small piece eventually falls into place. If interested, I might be able to put it together. The related surnames tell the story. GTPace-Canada
