    Default Joseph Press and Spouse Elizabeth Ann nee Dolan

    Hi

    I'm looking for Joseph Press born 1888 Bollington Macclesfield Cheshire, he married Elizabeth Ann Dolan in 1909, they had 2 children Edwin Press born 1914 and Donald Press born 1925 both born Bollington. I believe they may have emigrated to Hudson Ne Jersey USA between 1924 and 1930, unfortunately I don't have access to check this out.

    Thankyou in anticipation

    That's what I was wondering to welshlady...who Donald's father was, apparently there was another Dolan and Press who were married in Pancras which fitted in with Donald's birth. It can be quite confusing at times,
