I am trying to find information relating to the Child family, the little I have managed to find so far is Nathaniel Child (est born 1810) married ?? Son Joseph Daniel Child born Brighton 1844, married Mary Eldridge 1866, had son John Mayne born 1887 Brighton. At some point John moved to Winnipeg Canada and married Amy Wiffen in 1912 I believe he died in about 1929.
Any further information relating to these or any other relations more than welcome, there must be more out there I just can't find it!

Would like more information on the following:
Philip Philipp Watson CHILD CHILDE born in England about 1813; immigrated to US; died in New Orleans, Louisiana 20 June 1847.
married to Margaret CEARNS. We are trying to confirm or rule out this Margaret Cearns Child who died in New Orleans in 1900, at the age of 75. That would put her birth year at 1825. She was born in England.
Alice Cearns CHILD was born 29 July 1842 to the above couple.
Daucas CHILD was born 11 April 1846 to the above couple.
Speculation: the only Alice C. CHILD that is found on later census was married in 1875 to Max K. WALKER in Rock Island county, Illinois. We have later family that is connected to New Orleans and Moline also, so am wondering if this is the person in common with both places. Alice C. CHILD WALKER died 19 February 1926 in Moline, Rock Island county, IL.
The Margaret CEARNS who died in 1900 was married by 1852 ato Manuel J. DAVILLA DEVILLA DEVILLE. Cannot find record of marriage. Manuel J. Davilla died in 1889 in New Orleans.
Margaret CEARNS and Manuel J. DAVILLA are the parents of Catharine DAVILLE, b. December 1852 in New Orleans. It is believed that there are two other children, John Antonio DEVILLA (b. 1861) and William Herbert DEVILLA (b. 1864).
Along with more information on this family grouping, we are trying to establish the relationship of Henry CEARNS to Margaret CEARNS.
Thanks for any help.

Dear Listers,
Still looking information concerning Elisa CHILD's ascendants.
Elisa was born around 1826 in Brighton (or in Surrey).
Her father was JOHN CHILD.
Thank you very much for your help,
