[HORSFALLS]

horsfalls, hi margaret thanks for the response.i am sorry for the delay in answering. i will try to answer your questions 1st.my father bn april 7 1907 in liverpool was a veteranian, hewas probably the one called leslie. yes i have a sister who was a member of the fleetwoods. my gf joseph.. bn may 9 1879 in widness married elizabeth hignett bn in farnsworth in sep  1879 in garston in 1904. her father was in the building business, my gf had a butcher shop in garston. my gf, gm, and my father crossed to canada about 1913. he ended in puyullup, washington, where he opened a butcher shop. my fatherbecame avet andsoon  after i was born jan 24, 1936 he moved to olympia washington and opened his vet hospital i was joseph leslie jr.
my gf  rarely spoke of his father except he didd say he had some type and lost an arm.sarah came to the states with 3 of  her daughters.and settled in tacoma.  buy the way, did samuel  ever serve in the british  army?  and is it possible  that you are getting garstonite line with mine more later.

HI lesls I cant recall any one saying that Samuel was in the army but will check for you Mum dosnt recall any Marthas in the family,  Ibelieve that Elizabeths father built a bridge in Widnes not sure if it is still there though.  Mum seems to know all about them even down to knowing that they lived in a street called Fredrick above a shop called Bradleys ! Joseph worked what is now known as I C I. use to be Musprats and then  it became Musprats and Deacons when he was there.  I am going to Widnes at the end of the week as unfortunately Patricks father died. Iam not sure how garstonite is connected to the family or if he is maybe he could supply a few more details and I will check with mum,  does the name Mary Pitkin mean anything to you as she seems to be tracing the American side of the family as well she sent me photos of Sarah and two of Samuels sisters regards Margaret
regards Margaret

garstonite, hi allan well we share a birthdate, maybe a line will show up. i was able to get a fische of births of ellis' from frodsham started 1566 thru 1805. there were 3  thomas' listed, 1686, 1706, & 1772.
i have not checked them out as yet. the 1706 looks good as the parents are samuel and margaret.
only 1 william in 1671. i'll let you know when i get the results.  wensday spent time at the family search liabrary in Long Beach. we cleaned up the family group record for samuel ellis b 1762 m y5th ggf. there were many dupls that were consolidated, there were only 5 children listed. we added 7 more that (jean) passed on to me from bapt records. well i've got to get to work now, so goodby for now.
