Can anyone help me with any information with regard to Andrew Berseford and his wife Jane Gibb, especially son
James Beresford born 1869
Francis Samuel H Beresford born 1881
William James Beresford born 1874
Alfred Beresford born 1886
Jane after her husbands death went out to USA where she died in 1939.
Thankyou
