Rathbone Family
I am looking for Rathbone family living in the Accrington or surrounding area. My g. grandmother, Elizabeth Rathbone, born Preston in 1857, daughter of John & Elizabeth Hodgkinson (may be spelled Hodkinson today), married John Greenhalgh in Accrington in 1875. (Her parents, John & Elizabeth married 1844 at Liverpool.) Their daughters, Mary and Edith Greenhalgh were born in 1880 and 1882, respectively. The family emigrated from the port of Liverpool in 1893 and settled in Rhode Island, USA. Elizabeth's siblings, Nathan, John, William, and Thomas remained in England. John's family may have originated in Derbyshire, but he and his siblings were born in Rhuddlan, Flintshire, Wales. I cannot find a marriage for his parents John & Elizabeth Cockup in Wales, Derbyshire, or Lancashire.
I have done extensive research on ancestors, and I am now trying to find descendants of this family. I appreciate any help. Thank you.
