Title: Harry Edgar Miles Lewis
Post by: phenry on Wednesday 05 December 12 21:53 GMT (UK)
Looking for descendants of Harry Edgar Miles Lewis who was born 1889, probably in Yorkshire near Sicklinghall, Yorkshire and died in 1973 in Barton, Lancashire UK.  His descendants may have the key to the existence and/or whereabouts of letters that Ann Lewis Robinson of Sicklinghall received from her brother Jonathan Lewis who had just immigrated to the US around 1836.  Appreciate any help.

Hello,

looking at the dates and ages here, it would seem that you need to go back at least one generation if Jonathan emigrated abt 1836.

There is a previous thread http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=elq26uehgcnskgghvklbfhkjc7&topic=426742.0

and Jonathan is in 1841 census  :-\

There is a Hannah Robinson 64 yrs in 1851 census b Sicklinghall. Her husband is John.
