Lancashire / Re: WILLIAM LATHAM & JOHN ADAMSON from West Leigh

In a letter from 1852, (24 April), my great, great, great, great grandfather John Adamson from West Leigh England, wrote to my great, great, great grandparents, William and Maria Latham of Lowr Marrion, Post Office Montgomery County Pennsylvania.

I only have approximate dates of birth for William Latham (1819-3 December 1886) and Maria(or Elizabeth) (Adamson) Latham (1822-17 October 1885)...

I was wondering if anyone whew of these people. My great-great grandmother Alice Latham(1844-1929) is mentioned in the letter. She would be 7 at the time. She later married John Wenzell (1840-1923) on 24 November 1864 in Philadelphia, Pennyslvania, United States.

In this country, I've found that the wives often make themselves a few years younger than they are when asked...

It appears that 2 July 1815 is the Christening date or William Latham....would like to go back further, if possible.

Was wondering if there is any newspaper or other items that tell the story how Richard Garrett received sentences or other in the beginning of 1888? His wife died in December of 1887, he had problems after that....Thomas was a son of Richard Garrett and George was another. George was my great grandfather, living in America most likely at this time in 1888/89

Found an  Edwin Arthur Wells Garrett married Rosina in 1971 but it looks as if they were together for years before, although not sure he is your man

It appears that Arthur Edwin Wells Garrett died during war times on 27 May 1918 and is buried in France....Soissons, Departement de l'aisne, Picardie, France.

Richard stayed in London. His son George James Garrett 1867-1948 came to America....in the  1880s. It is said he had something to do with the navy. Something exploded on ship near New York. The British Navy left him behind and he decided to stay. He wrote to his family in London, and they back to him. He married a Swedish girl named Emma Andersdotter 1866-1955 in 1890. He had 5 children.
As to the cousins who kept Wells as part of their name, they thought it good luck and used it for generations as a middle name. Some of them moved to Australia.

I'm interested, too. Important to get records correct. Richard Garrett was my great-great grandfather. 2 of his sons (Francis and James Garrett) ended up in San Francisco around the time of the big earthquake. One of them married a girl from Mexico, thus we have a branch of Garretts in Mexico.
My branch of the Garretts were mostly in New Jersey, USA. My great grandfather, was George James Garrett (1867-1948)

It is said that some of the Howe family attended the Roman Catholic church. Don't know if in Great Britain but In America, possibly. They later left and joined the Episcopalian Church.
 After a lack of sympathy after a bout with smallpox in the family,  from the RC Church, Emma Howe's husband William A Wenzell joined the latter.

The picture listed as Emma Howe turns out to be Mary "Polly" Howe, her sister
