JANUARY 9TH - MANSELLS

Well today is the 9th January and I have little more than a few names today.

Born on this day in Shropshire in 1814 was Elizabeth MANSELL, first child of my paternal 3Xgreat grandparents George MANSELL and Mary LEES. Elizabeth was three years older than my g-g-grandfather William and the eldest of 5 children. Happy birthday to my second great-great aunt Elizabeth.

Also born on this day was my paternal great-great uncle, James MANSELL. Born in Ketley Shropshire in 1842, James was the younger brother of my g-g-grandparents William MANSELL and Elizabeth ARCHER. Sadly James died at the age of 9 in June 1851. Happy birthday James.
