Hi Listers,
I have a problem which I would hope someone could direct me where to look.
I have searched Ancestry (worldwide) and Find My Past. The following information is what I have,
Joseph GORLEY b.1793 in Cockermouth married Marie LIEVESLEY b.1798 in Leeds.
Married in St. Peter¡¯s York in 1819. He was a Hatter.
Then the next I have is they had
James b. 10 Nov. 1822 in Quebec
Sarah b. 29 July 1824 in Quebec
Maria b. 28 March 1828 in Quebec
They then must have come back to UK as they were all baptised in Bingley in 1929.
Then John Lievesley was born in 1831 in Leeds
In the census of 1841, 1851 They were all there including Mother Maria, but not the father.
Also they say the above first three were born in Quebec.
The father was listed in U.K. City and Counties Directory in 1834 as a Hatter.
Next sighting was in U.S. Federal census in 1850, Essex New Jersey.
Died in 1857 in Newark, New York.
First son James married Frances Peace in York in 1844 and they had first three children in Leeds
and then son Edward was b. in 1860 New Jersey John B. 1862 New Jersey and Maria b. 1864 in New Jersey.
James died in New Jersey in 1873.
Why cant I find any departures and arrivals from Uk to Quebec or back to U.K. ?
Big puzzle.
