Hello, I have been able to trace my paternal gg-grandmother Ansley McDonnell, back tracking from the time frame of her death around 1901 back into Pittston, PA ( actually listed as McCarthyville asuburb of Pittston) as far back as 1888. That is where the trail gets cold. I did find where her and James were married in 1851 in Dewsbury, England. I am unable to find anything about the death of James, any passenger list showing her, James, William (my g-grandfather), or Charles. Ansley, William and Charles all lived at the same residence until her death.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
