Thanks for all the info - that is really useful. Just to complete the story of Mary for you she married Job Haigh in Shelley when she was 19 (no father mentioned on the marriage certificate). They had 4 natural children - Emma, Arthur, Annie and Herbert, and on adopted son Matthew. Arthur married a Sarah Ann Ellam and one of their children - Lewis Haigh , was my grandfather.

I do have a copy of a letter that Job and Mary sent to a William Sutcliffe in America in 1919 in which the letter starts 'Dear Cousins'. I don't know how this letter came back into the family and am not sure whether the cousins were on the Haigh or the Townsend side.

Thanks once again - and Happy New Year

Hi

I know this post is years old but I have recently started researching my family tree and have discovered that the mary Townsend born in Poughkeepsie was my great great grandmother. Any info on the family would be greatly appreciated.
