Hi,
Looking for any relatives of Charles and Elizabeth Kefford and daughters Martha and Louisa, they resided in Birmingham England before moving to the USA at the begining of the 1900's.
Elizabeth was buried on 2nd October 1941 at Thornton, Cook, Illinois. She was born about 1877 the daughter of John and Annetta Jenkins, her daughters Martha was born about 1895 and Louisa on 30th September 1896.
Have records back to 1766 and still searching.
