I have a few hours left on my account at this site.
I can try to look something up for you.
Pls send as much info as possible to make sure of the correct match.
(birth date, death date, spouse, parent info, location for any of the above, any children they might have had.)
The more I have the better I can search and be fairly sure of finding the right information for you.
As a note, you can get free hours on this site.
Check out the "transcription project", what you do, is set up an account, and follow the information to do transcriptions for them.
They give you a census image and you transcribe the information on it into a table. It takes about 10 minutes of your time, and they give you 1 free hour to browse, hunt, search, download in thier files.
It is so worth the trade! I have found stuff there, volumes of it.
They also have the 'robot', where once you upload your own tree, ask it to do a smartmatch search of your tree, and the next time you come back (it takes from an hour to a day, depending on how big your file is), they have a list of possible matches. Then you go through them, delete the ones that are not matches, and keep the matches that are good ones. Then you have found data you need without having a ton of random searching!
Its an awesome option for those of us who don't like sending out credit info on the web, or who insist on access for free or trade for free.
good luck, hope to hear from you soon. I don't mind doing an initial hunt for you to see if there is info in there for you.
cheers
Jennifer

It is a user submitted site....you would be better off (by far) with source records.
If you let me know who you are looking for with that surname (there are not many) I can send census images etc.
email me and let me know.

Thanks anyway Jamie. Another member told me how I can get free hours on the site by transcribing things for them. I think I will just do it that way so I can help them out too.
Thanks again,
Sue

Thanks Jennifer. I will just earn my own hours instead of using yours. Thanks for the offer and the information too.

You are welcome, and good luck!
Remember that much of the info on this site is submitted by its users, and unless it has verifiable sources, should be taken lightly.
Use it to dig further until you can verify the info, basically use it as a pointing tool.
Have fun!
Jennifer
