Dear Lisa Thanks for your comments and thoughts. I have asked the question on Brown County, Ohio List several times with no result, a friend went and searched in the Ohio Vital Records also without result... It would appear from my investigations that Sarah Jane and George Henry came back early in 1861, and the other girls Harriet, Amelia (now thought to be Minnie in 1870 Census), Lauretta (Samitta in 1860 Census) & Ella F (Ellen in 1860 Census) came back in the mid 1860's which leaves Louisa aged 11 in 1860 and Catherine aged 6 months in 1860.... NO sign of James & Maria(h) (the parents) that I can ascertain anywhere in 1870 Census, and not in any movement back to the UK either.... Again, many thanks for your thoughts, happy researching David Cheek - Adelaide - Australia Protected by Norton Anti-Virus 2006 -----Original Message----- From: Lisa Lepore [mailto:llepore@comcast.net] Sent: Wednesday, 26 April 2006 11:07 PM To: RIGENWEB-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [RIGENWEB] James CHEEK 1860 - Ohio to Rhode Island David - I can't help with your Cheek family but the fact that the children came back to RI suggests the others may died either in Ohio or on the way back to RI, and the children went back to live with the sister Emma who stayed in RI. <snip>
