Hi I've just found out I've been following the wrong family!
I have Francis ( Frank) born 1859 Overthorpe Yorkshire died 1936 Oregan he married Mary Hornby b 1860 Bilton Yorkshire d 1926 California
They married in Feb 1881 but in the 1881 census I have Frank 22 Married living with his Mother Harriet no sign of Mary and no sign of them after that ?
another tree has them emigrating to USA 2 May 1903
On his marriage certificate Frank was a Painter his father John was a blacksmith
it looks as though his father died 1874 .Mary's parents Henry Hornby & Mary Ann Dickson
I'd be grateful if any one can find them after their marriage

Thank you

Mary isn't with her parents in 1881

No sign of any Dews/Hornby births

Mary's mother was Dickinson before marriage - not Dickson

the Kelloggs seem to have moved to California.
