Greetings from New Zealand, where I am persuing two lines of research on two separate PILE families, one in Devon, England and the other in Co.Durham, England. Lower Budleigh Devon: 1. Robert Pile b.1801 = Mary b. 1807 2.Henry Pile b. 1825 2.Amy Pile* b.1830 2.John Pile b. 1833 2.Stephen Pile b.1836 Sunderland Co.Durham. A family of well known shipbuilders in the area. 1.parent Pile (name unknown) = wife unknown 2.William Pile 1823 - 1873 2.John Pile (no dates) 2.Thomas Pile* (1840-1922) emigrated to New Zealand 1876. *I have subsequent descendants of these two people, but wish to further trace their ancestors with the hope that the Sunderland family may originally have come from Devon and link up with the Pile family there. If these families look familiar to anyone, I would be most grateful to hear from them. Regards to all, Patricia Taylor.
