The info I currently have is - James Darbyshire married a Marry Ann Gaskell - all dates unknown - James was a greengrocer. It is thought that they resided in Leigh Lancashire until they left for Glace Bay Canada on Feb 23 1905. Apparently they were relatively wealthy until some investments went bad and it is thought that is when they changed their name to Derbyshire. It is not believed that there is any US relatives from the children but we dont know this yet.
The children were - Bill - no dates,
Richard - died in Glace Bay Nova Scotia Canada - no other info
Elizabeth - born approximately 1888 - no other info
Nelly - born in February of 1883 - was 12 on the boat ride to Canada
Jane - no dates or other info
John Thomas - Born in Leigh Lancashire January 04 1897, Married Eva ALberta Cordy on May 24 1919 in Glace Bay and he died November 29 1953 in Hespeler Ontario Canada.
If anyone might have any other info please let me know.
