Hi there Marilyn and thanks for your message re Andrews.
The only thing that I know about my Andrews family is that
they originated fom Bishopstone via Salisbury
in Wiltshire c 1740. My line starts with a
Peter ANDREWS born c1771 at Downton.Peter married Susanna MUNDAY
at Downton on 04/03/1793. Sometime after their marriage they have
moved to Bishopstone via Salisbury as the church records have 10 children
as being baptised there.Abraham ( my 2x great )was one of the 10 children
and he married Sarah GIBBS and emigrated to Australia in 1838 but the other
9 children are a mystery.Abraham came out to Australia in 1838 and left
8000 descendents in the country. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the
other
9 children went to the USA or Canada, time may tell.
Few other suggestions for you;
