Howard—
I would be very interested in any information you would have regarding those two sites. Neither would be the William Askwith I'm seeking but may well be his father, uncle, or cousin. A lot could be acertained from birth, place of birth, and death dates, however.My Willam supposedly landed in the St. Lawrence area from a ship, captained by a an uncle out of Barnstaple Eng.(maybe) about 1825. He and brother(s) and sister(s) were smuggled due to some political problems. He at least ended up shortly in the Cumberland area of Pennsylvania. The rest, I have a pretty good handle on from about 1850.I'm in New Mexico, but only moved here a few years ago. Thank you for the posting followup/reply. John
