Hi Jodami

A public tree on Ancestry has her parents as Thomas Fleetham born 1834 and Dorothy Hutchinson born 1837.

Thomas's parents were  William FLEETHAM  1793 – 1860 and Jane GRABHAM 1794 – 1872

What exactly are you looking for?

I'm wondering if this was Elizabeth, it looks a good possibility :

Death, March qtr. 1888   
Elizabeth Pratt, age 28   
Gt. Ouseburn, Vol 9a, page 75

If it was, how very sad.

Thank you Yosamitesam.
Joseph Beasley was my uncle who married Ida Pratt,Daughter of William T Pratt and Annie Hudd who was his second wife. His first wife was Elizabeth Fleetham.
I have traced back to William Fleetham born 1793.
Love more information if you have any
Regards Jim

Has your wife come across Michael Fleetham born 1816 in Darlington to parents Thomas Fleetham and Mary Handy.  I am descended from him but can trace backwards any further than Thomas.  Any info would be much appreciated.
