Hello Pennsylvania list
Can anyone help me find a missing ancestor.
I'm trying to determine the parentage of my Great Grand Mother Esher Jane
Wood who I believe was born in Pennsylvania in 1870. Her parents were Thomas
Wood and Emma Wood. Emma would be approximately 26 years old at Esther
Jane's birth.
They emmigrated to the US, and my mother told me that they settled in
Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, I have no details of which county in
Pennsylvania.
Following Esther Jane's birth Emma and her daughter returned to England and
settled in Crompton Shaw, Oldham, Manchester. I understand that Thomas
returned to take them back to America, but they would not go back with him.
Thomas went back to America alone, but I'm not sure where he settled.
It would be great if someone had access to the Birth Indexes of Pennsylvania
for 1870, and could look up the birth. I have no means of determining
Thomas's background or Emma's because I am unable to determine when they
married, or Emma's maiden name.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Perhaps I can undertake some research in the Oldham area if anyone is
seeking their ancestors.
Regards
Robert
