Re: Evan and Sarah Wade m. 17 Sept. 1881

Hello Roy and Ron,

I notice on IGI a second Evan Wade ch.7 Dec 1856 to Hugh and Catherine Wade. The first was still around in 1851 but only the second shows up in 1881 on a fishing boat called 'Tartar' with Caesar Kermode.
Ellis Island records show Evan Fred Wade age 17 arrived USA 14 Sept 1901 on the Lucania from Liverpool - no sign of the others.
Difficult to pinpoint Sarah Jane Francis, one possibility is a lady from Cornwall in service in Lancashire but suggest a marriage certificate may help from Civil@Registry.Gov.IM.
Hugh, the father, originated from Michael and moved over the boundary to Eary Glass (near St Helens) but eventually his brothers seem to be drawn nearer to Peel, each with a large family, so there may be some still around. The telephone book shows about seven Wades in Peel.
