Val,

I have my Thomas born 1791 in Warmfield, Yorkshire. He is the son of Abel & Sarah
(Postlethwaire) Craven, married at All Saints, Wakefield on 26 May 1789.

Thomas' wife is Ann (Thorp) born 1791 and they were married in Wakefield, Yorkshire
on 25 Oct 1813. There children are as follows:]

Elizabeth abt 1815 in Wakefield
Mary Ann abt 1816 in Wakefield
Margaret abt 1818 in Wakefield
George abt 1820 in Wakefield
Thomas abt 1822 in Wakefield
Ann abt 1823 in Wakefield
Abel 1828 in Ashton Under Lyne

I received this information from a gentlemen last week from another message board.
I also got the following information:

Abel and Sarah's Children were:

Elizabeth christened 26 Jul 1790 All Saints
Thomas christened 25 Apr 1792 Warmfield
George christened 19 Oct 1794 Warmfield
Abel christened 10 Sep 1787 St. Peter Huddersfield
William christened 22 Sep 1799 Pontefract
Henry christened 08 Sep 1804 All Saints
Abraham christened 23 Aug 1806 All Saints
Ellen christened 07 Oct 1809 All Saints

Sarah was christened 06 Sep 1771 at Cathedral St. Peter, Sheffield. Is there any way
of getting information on Abel and Sarah's children and their parents and also is there
any way of getting John and Ann's children and parents information? It looks like some
of the people that you found could be my family.

Thanks,

Vince

Val,

Ann was born 1791 in England and died 29 May 1883 in Hope Township, Barry County,
Michigan, USA The husband is Thomas and he was born abt 1791 or 1792 I know this
because they were married in Wakefield, Yorkshire and Abel their son was born in 1828
in Aston Under Lyne. If I put John I'm sorry the names should be Thomas Craven and
Ann Thorp.
