Hi everyone,

In case someone is interested, this Thomas DALLY is the son of John DALLY
and Mary RICHARDS, born in Wendron in 1868, grandparents John DALLY and
Mary TRELOAR. I believe that Thomas married Julia Jane MOORE in 1892, and I
assume they moved to Michigan shortly thereafter. My clue to his location
came from the Cornwall Business System's CD of "Cornish Immigrants to the
USA" based on the work by "The Cornish American Connection" in Redruth. The
main source of the info on the disc came from a Richard Ross index, but I
would like to know where they obtained supporting information re parents
names, and census checks. At this stage I know nothing further about the
incident, nor about the other names mentioned.

Regards,

Lindsay
