Dear Julie,
Wonderful to hear from you, yes we are second cousins. My parents were Horace and Lucy Bilbrough.

William Rowland and Mary Anne Beck were my Great Grandparents, their son John born 21st September 1873 in Leeds, was my Grandfather. Whom out of
of William Rowlands and Mary's 8 children is your grandparent Julie?

Any information on John and Julie would be more than welcome. I have seen John's baptism entry at St Helen of Etwall church, Derbyshire. John's surname was spelt BILBRUFF, he was baptised on 15 Mar 1838. His parents were William Bilbrough and Mary Beck both servants at Burnaston Derbyshire. They also married in St. Margaret's church Walmgate York on 11 Feb 1837.

I have no idea when or where John and Julie died. They lived in Kansas city, Jackson USA (1910 and 1920 census).On an Ellis Island record for Julia it states she arrived back into the USA on 6th Oct 1922 sailing from Liverpool on the Carmania. She was aged 80, and a widow, living at the Chatham Hotel in New York City. I wonder if they both came to England and Julie went home a widow ?

Did your mother meet John and Julie in Bradford ? My Late Uncle Rowland did in 1914 travelling by train from Birmingham.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Dorothy
