From Sandra...

Cecily Roberts married a John Gadsby.

From what I understand they emigrated to America with six of the 8 children they had. I think thats right.

The names I have for the children are as follows; Louies, Cicily, Charles, Henry, Frank and Harold.
Ada ( my grandma) and Hetty are the 2 sisters that stayed in England.

They married 2 brothers Ada married Edmund Thacker
and Hetty married John Thacker.
