LOOKING FOR MY GT.GT.GFR. WILLIAM LEWIS BORN 1820. PLACE OF BIRTH UNKNOWN BUT PROBABLY YORKSHIRE. HE MARRIED ANN FISHER 1846 IN MALTON AND MOVED TO AMERICA OR CANADA WHERE BOTH CHILDREN WERE BORN IN 1852 & 1854.

ANN MOVED BACK TO ENGLAND AND APPEARS ON THE 1881 CENSUS LIVING IN SCARBOROUGH AS A WIDOW AND ANNUITANT WITH HER DAUGHTER ANNIE.

ANNIE WAS BORN IN WILLIAMSBURG AND WE WONDER IF WILLIAM WAS PERHAPS KILLED IN THE CIVIL WAR.

ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED

THANKS
ERICA
