William M. Press/Andrew & Anne Wilson From England
Folks,
If anyone has or may have information regarding my great-greatgrandfather William M. Press I'd appreciate it. He left Liverpool, England (born 3/10/1850) on board the ship "Australia" and arrived in New York on 3/10/1853. The story was that he was an orphan. He wound up living with the Andrew and Anne Wilson (married name Elsdon) family who also left Liverpool and arrived in New York on board the ship "Ann" on 7/30/1835. William later married their daughter Sarah Jane.
I'm obviously trying to find the Press family that I'm related to in England. As well as the Wilson family as it's a mystery as to how he wound up living with them in Cannelton, Indiana. They were all from England so what's their connection if he was an orphan when he came over?
They all wound up in Blue Ridge, Texas as the Wilson's lived with William and Sarah there. All are buried in Blue Ridge as well.
Thanks.
