Hi Malcolm
Purely guesswork I'm afraid. The only reason I know (think) my wife's
ancestor sailed from Ireland is the reference on ancestory.com. Despite two
requests, I really have no answer to CD 357

I know where Isaiah MOLESDALE ended up, but not how he and his children
(Frederick who fought in the Civial War -(wrong side?) - and Elizabeth got
there.

According to Ancestory.com, their sailing details are from Ireland. I've
tried look-up requests since Chrsitmas without any success.

Anyone out there with CD 357? Find me a where and when for Isaiah, Frederick
and Elizabeth MOLESDALE.

Ian
