Loasby (again!)
« on: Monday 14 March 05 20:06 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

I am trying to find out any info on persons with the surname Loasby leaving Northamptonshire and going to America between the years 1850 and 1870

The couple that I am mainly interested in are a Samuel and his wife Hannah, does anyone have passenger lists or know where I can look at them

I have found this couple on the igi index but need to know where they originated from, preferably from Kettering

Any help would be appreciated

Di :)
