I'm searching for any information on this couple from Leicestershire, England who died in Coalville, Summit, Utah.
William Freestone born October 30, 1823 in Whitwick, Leicestershire, England, and died January 20, 1887 in Coalville, Summit, Utah.
Georgina Freestone born 1829 in either Newhall, Derbyshire or Newhall, Leicestershire, England, and died March 2, 1908 in Coalville, Summit, Utah. They both are buried in the Coalville Cemetery.
They immigrated after 1881 from Leicestershire, England. Any help with this couple would be greatly appreciated.
Gratefully,
Mavis Bassett

Mavis, if you go to http://www.familysearch.org/eng/Search/frameset_search.asp
you'll find your family in 1881 in Whitwick Leicestershire. If You select 1881 census and put in Georgina Freestone the first search box and then William in the head of household it will return two familys the top one looks like yours. There is also a Christening for William Freestone in the IGI section on the same site.

Regards Pete.

My Grandfather's brother Patrick Meaney went to Park City from Newcastle Co.Down in 1909. Whilst there he married and had a daughter. He died at Park City Miners Hospital in 1924. I discovered this and much more thanks to the help of listers on this list, so its good to be able to payback.

Regards Pete.

Pete,
I have been to Park City many times, and I think that old hospital still stands. Park City is a real quaint and unique place to visit. If it is the same hospital, I'll have to take a picture for you the next time I'm up there. It's been restored and looks fabulous. I don't live very far away.
I have McKee ancestors who immigrated from Saintfield, County Down, Ireland.
Thanks for keeping in touch.
Best wishes,
Mavis
