My PAF and GEDCOMs are swelling.

I have googled RRC Cemetery and have seen a few photos of the cemetery itself.

You have gathered quite alot of info over the last few days that will have filled gaps but obviously still have others. Still cannot find a passenger list for the Wilson family.  Thomas Wilson 1873 - I can see no WW1 draft - so maybe he did'nt register.  ???

I may have found the wife of Joseph Thomas. I found a Joseph L Thomas on the 1900 census with an Elizabeth Thomas born Dec 1881 in PA whose parents were born in England. They were living in Washington, Pennsylvania. In 1910 she is down as Elizabeth A Thomas born about 1882.

Are these the ones - will post incase John wants to look.
Everything does point to the family being in the US by the date this Elizabeth was born.  A passenger record would be a good find - woner if they travelled separately ?

Perhaps she could have had more with Robert Sutherland, there is only James recorded so far. Or the 3 year gap between Elizabeth and Mary Ellen.  Otherwise she was producing every 2 years.
