Surnames: Etchell, Etchells, Harwood, Doyle
What I've found: William Etchell (b. 1912 as Robert ?)
Parents: Robert (b.1885 in PA) and Mary Smith (b.1888)

Roberts's line: Father John (b. 1857 in England)

Siblings: William (b. 1886 in PA)
John (b. 1889 in PA)

Harriett's family: Father William (b. 1832)--- his mother is listed as Ellen (b. 1801)
Mother Margaret Doyle

(I believe John dropped the "s" and became Etchell from Etchells)

John's line: Father Robert (b.1833 in England)

Lizzie (b. 1878 in England)
There is also a Maggie Bubbs (b. 1855 in England). Not sure who this is.

Robert Etchells and Elizabeth Harwood were married 22 Jan 1855 in Ashton-Under-Lyne, Lancashire England. St. Michaels Church. Elizabeth Harwood's father is listed as as either John or Richard Harwood. Not sure why? Elizabeth's mother is Mary Harwood.

Robert's line: Father James (born 1801 in England)
Mother Hannah ? (born 1801 in England)

If anyone can fill in blanks or correct the line, please let me know.

Hi,

I realize that this is an old post and you may already have the info that you need but I can clear up the identity of "Maggie Bubbs" for you. Her married name should be Maggie Dubbs..."Bubbs" is a transcription error. Maggie is Margaret Etchells born 13 Jul 1855 in Ashton Under Lyne, Lancashire, England to Robert & Elizabeth Harwood Etchells. Maggie appears to be the oldest child and daughter of Robert and Elizabeth as they were married in Jan 1855. Margaret Etchells married Benton A. Dubbs in 1872. You will find Maggie Etchell Dubbs on the US 1880 census for Pittsburgh, PA with her children John & Annie Dubbs and Maggie's parents and siblings (the Etchells).

I believe that Robert Etchells may be the son of James & Margaret Hadfield Etchells. I have James born in 1793, Hooley Hill (sp?), England and Margaret born in 1797, Ashton Under Lyne, England. Their marriage date is 19 Jun 1814, Stockport, Cheshire, England.

Hope this helps - LM Gillis
