family that is possibly still there. My great grand parents list this in their

petition for naturalization as where they hail from; they are: Jonathan Brough,

Coalminer, 4 sunderland St., Wheatley Hill, his father, John Brough, Coalminer

Gertrude Annie Maltman, same address, Alexander Maltman, shipyard

labourer, the general details include: Oakinshaw, Durham Co, England &

Hazel Dena, England from England, they went to Glasgow, shipped out on a

British ship called Cassandra that made port in Virginia, made their way to

Canada, and back down to Indiana, USA and that is where they lived, settled

and died. I've already been to Oxford, England, 10 years back, and if I'd only

known what I know now..well, I'd have made different arrangements. Please
