Hi again. I tried to send PM with my email. I can't post it here. Josephine's son Harry born 1923. Married Marjorie Mills in 1945 (FreeBMD). As far as I can tell, they had 3 children - Susan, Jeffrey and Margery. Susan died at birth. Jeffrey married and had at least one child, Gary. Marjory married Peter Clowney and they had at least 3 children. This information all came from FreeBMD. I have not verified it elsewhere. I have written to the assumed families both by email and snail mail, but no one has ever replied. I believe they still live in the Liverpool / Bootle area. If you ever make contact, I would love to hear about them.

Can you share more of your grandmother's and mother's story? and do you have any photographs of your grandparents. There was a history women being "left" by the men in this Crossan line. How sad. There is such a lot of information about the earlier Crossans that I will share with you. I don't know i this will work or not, but for alternate contact we could try: My name is Hinchliff and on google.com I use the first 5 letters plus c as my address.  I am also on facebook.
Look forward to hearing from you again

I realize that your post re Imlah/Imlay family was an old one, but I am hoping you are still online.

I am looking for a John Imlah/Imlach who would have been born c. 1731 (death records show him being 89 years old when he died in 1821) somewhere in the area of Aberdeen/Inverness. He was in Philadelphia, married to Isabella (also a Scot) but 1757 when their first known child was baptized. Hi fought for the King in the French Indian War. The names of his children were (in order of birth) Isabella, John, James, Margaret, Elizabeth, Ann, William, Sarah, Mary & Charlotte. I have been using the Scottish naming rules - clutching at straws to find a possible birth in Scotland.  One such birth has been found in Glassgreen, but it does not ring true to me.
My John was also a farmer and disinherited two sons who did not follow this life.(No idea of the actual reason, however) but it is possible that he came from a farming family.

Do you have any Imlahs (or variants) in your files who could possibly fit my John?

Thank you Trish and William for your suggestions. I have not only been able to track down information of Thomas Lloyd Jones, but also his father and his grandfather. The little clues all added up, like the miner occupation and the names of the villages etc.
I just got the marriage certificate for Edward Jones and Mary Lloyd and the witness was Elizabeth (likely Mary's older sister). Both their fathers were also called Edward, so here we go again...  Anyway it will take me more time to put everything together.  I just wanted to thank you both for the help and let you know it paid off.

 Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Pam, you certainly weren't long in replying - i only posted last night.
This information brings together various bits and pieces and confirms the family in many ways. That is so great.

I might get back to you about the Lloyd's when I find a few more details, but in the meanwhile Thank you so much.

Carol
