Title: Kathleen Duxbury
My father,s father drowned when he was 2 or 3 years old. His mother died when he was a young teenager and he became a ward of the state of New York. As a child I often asked my
father why his family didn't take him in, as I recall there was never an
answer to this question, I assumed there wasn't any family to do so. As
an orphan he was fortunate, the State of New York (which took possession
of the family farm) sent him to the Pacific Northwest on the "Orphan
Train", this was during the Great Depression. He came of age on a "dude'
ranch, I have photos of him in full cowboy dress on a ranch somewhere in
Montana. He had some happy times there. After that there was WWII, he
was with the U.S Armed forces all over Europe. My father was a
gentleman, a wonderful happy man but, a man of few words. He would never
talk about WWII and I believe his childhood memories were bittersweet.

Title: Birth Certificate
of Ryecliffe Sreet, Padiham at marriage in 1866
Emmigrated to Fall River, Mass, USA after second marriage in 1873
Became naturalized American citizen in 1876
Over on this side of the pond, I finally spent a few days in Fall River MA
picking up quite a few vital stats and some local information...including
that there was an organization represented at my great grandfather's (Sandy
Harrison of Padiham) funeral in 1903 named "The Friends of Padiham" from New
Bedford MA (about 20 miles away). His funeral made the front page of the
local newspaper and was attended by 5,000 people, so I am quite curious
about him. Further, there is a 20' obelisk in the cemetery dedicated to
Sandy Harrison erected by the "Sons of St. George", a society of English
emigrants, so he must have been quite active in the politics of this city
that grew from approx 26,000 at the time of his arrival to over 100,000 at
the time of his death.
