Number 26 (William) could possibly
be the father of my James. The birthdate matches the
information in the
1841 English census. He arrived in the same
year (1849) as my James (who arrived 10.02.1849)

Numbers 11, 14, 18, 19 & 27 are
probably all related. They all came from Yorkshire on ÔSTAGÕ in 1850.
Number 17 are the parents of number 1.
Number 4 are the parents of number 3.
Numbers 6 or 5 could be the same
George as number 4.
Numbers 7, 8 & 9 could be the
same Henry or 2 or 3 different ones. (and number 13
could be the son)
The other numbers donÕt seem to
have any connection (but IÕll keep searching).
