FYI, Enoch was born in around 1874, not 1884.  Piecing together the family now in records at Ancestry.com

Not sure if this is right place to post this.  I have identified John Coventry and Alice Dowbiggin/Coventry.  They were both born c1842 in Preston and Wray, Yorkshire respectively.  Two of their children were born in the US - Alice A in 1870 - Connecticut and Enoch NF in Brooklyn 1884.  I am not sure when they went out but they were back in Preston in 1886.  Any ideas to find out when they travelled and what they did over there?

Thanks

thanks - on re-reading my post I was obviously on  a different planet - I did know it was 1874! I have been doing all my research without subscribing to Ancestry but I think I have reached the stage where I will have to bite the bullet.

Many thanks for your help

I run the One Name Study for Dowbiggin, so do let me know if you need more information or help.  I think my tree is public.  Were you able to see it when you followed the link I sent?

Thanks for letting me know.  No I couldn't get on to it - although it is public Ancestry still want me to cross their palms with silver before they will let me see it.
