BARNES/WELCH New Jersey(?)
Hello all,
HENRY BARNES Born 1814 Huncoat, Lancashire married Ann Barnes. Lived in Accrington Lanc.
Daughter, Elizabeth, born 1839 married Thos. Welch.
They lived in West Houghton, Lancashire BUT their daughter, HENRY's grand daughter was born in New Jersey,America in 1868.Her name NELLY WELCH. The family was settled in West Houghton in 1881 census and another daughter, Annie Welch was born West houghton and aged 12 yrs (1881).
Why were they in N.J.?Does this family have an American connection?
Any help appreciated,
