Hi Gerie,
I am most interested in this particular family.Are the Quarry House and Lofthouse, the
same as those in LEEDS, West Yorkshire UK?? The reason being, My Calverts came from
roughly the same area, although i have hit a brick wall with mine!!!
The only info i have on mine is pasted below. Could there be any connection do you
think??? I look forward to hearing from you,
Karen Ledger, Leeds, UK
( Benjamin Calvert Taylor was my great grandad).

Hello Cousin,
We are from the same family!
I've often wondered what happened to George Alexander and Barbara.
The only child I ever knew of was Mary Elizabeth b. abt 1880. The 1881
census showed that George A. Calvert 30, wife Barbara 20, and their daughter
Margaret Elizabeth 5 mths., lived at Quarry House with Isaiah Calvert 70 -
our gr.gr. grandfather. Also living in the household was Edmund Kirkbright
16, born Lofthouse - grandson of Isaiah. Your gr. grandfather, George, was a
stonemason.
I have a wonderful picture of Quarry House. I just have to find it.
I thought I had scanned it, but I can't find it in my database.
Where did you ever get a handwritten family history? How nice you
have that. Could you give me more information on George and Barbara and
their family? What information can I give you? Did I take you back to the
early 1600's on our family?
Where do you live? I live in the northeastern US.
Eager to hear from you.
Sincerely,
Gerie

I have a photo copy of a hand-written family tree that is part of the same,
I think.
Acording to my information, Isabella, daughter of Isaiah Calvert (1809 -
1882) and Mary Cartwright (1807 -1880) married 1833
Isabella had 5 sisters MAry Ann b 1833
Elizabeth b 1836 m ? Watson
Jane b 1840 m ? Kirkbright
Ruth b 1842 m ? Ingleby
Margaret b 1846
and 3 brothers
Burnett b 1844 d 1922 m Mary Mudd (1854 - ?) in 1878
they had 4 sons and 4 daughters
John William b 1848 m Annie Waighill
and George Alexander b 1850 m Barbara Walker
they had 4 daughters and 8 sons!! one of which was Raymond my grandfather!!
Are they the same families do you think??
