I've just come across this link and had to show you http://www.dobsons.co.uk/index.html
I'm sure there's no connection but it did make me wonder  :)

Hi John and Sandra

Re the baptism I'm sorry but I don't know what you mean by IGI if it helps the document I have is handwritten and I think I got it via Ancestry.com.  I'll sent it to you if you'd like to see it.

Do you know who Joseph married or where they moved to when they left Thornton?

Sandra you're a star I think you've already answered John's question around the address - does this help John?

Regards

Debbie

Hi John,

I know what you mean there are so many of them it does get confusing and I have gone down more than one wrong road.

Have you seen the 1841 census?  There is no head of the family for Benjamin just a John and Joseph who are both 15!!

I really don't want to steer you in the wrong direction but I have the baptism for John b1796 and it says his father was Jonas - what do you think?

Just to let you know I still in the area infact I go to Keelham farmshop at least once a month (before I knew any of this) so if you need anything from this end please let me know I'm more than happy to help.

I wonder if Thomas and Nellie emigrated to Massachusetts to be with Albert and his family?

Regards

Debbie

Sandra, John

Thank you so much for this info it gives me something to chase.
John in answer to your question yes they definitely did originate from Thornton.  I have Grandfather Bertram, GG Walter, GGG grandfather Benjamin GGGG granfather John the tax collector.  Is your Joseph Benjamin's older brother?

Well I think I've come to the end of the road I can find no record of any of them after 1930 except that Edith is staying at the Evangeline Hotel in Washington and working as a stenographer for the government.

I wonder what really happened to them  :-[

Hi Shelley

Thank you so much for that it's nice to know he did ok after all he'd been through.  I've tried looking on the 1940 census but can't find him.

Hi Sandra

I've just looked at the Edith married to Jack and I don't think this is her because it has her residence as Toronto Canada.

As for the other one I just don't know it's very confusing isn't it?

Am I right to assume that as there were so many deaths due to the Spanish flu that not all of them were recorded?
