Thanks for all the great info! Yes, I am new here, as of today. This thread that turned up today when I googled in the past hadn't been posted yet! Most of the info I've gathered is from familysearch and ancestry from back in the spring. We are making our way to England (The Cotswolds) for the first time soon and I thought it would be worth visiting these nearby towns of family significance...

I don't know Lucy's middle name. But my research does show that her mother's maiden name is Banks as you mentioned. Mother Sadie Dangerfield Banks and father Benjamin Banks. I don't have any birth/death dates or locations for them and I can't go further back.

It would seem that you are also correct that Lucy's birthdate is 1853, not 1858. I don't know the meaning of her middle name "Long." I assume it is a family name for a family I have not yet discovered! I believe she left England in 1874/75.

I have to familiarize myself with how to use this site as it obviously has a lot of good information and helpful people.

Thanks again!
