I am a direct descendent of Richard Knowlson, b. Nov., 1804 in Burghwallis, South Yorkshire; parents William Knowlson and Eleanor Pollard Knowlson. Siblings were William, John and Elizabeth. William married Elizabeth Stanley; John did not marry; Elizabeth married Michael Lilley. Brother William’s daughter Elizabeth married Thomas Gardom. Thomas’ parents George and Anne Gardom are buried @ St. John’s Church cemetery @ Balby, Doncaster, South Yorkshire.
All immigrated to U.S. by 1844. Am greatly interested in locating any information re: ancestry of these families and
would be happy to share. Thanks!
