Penrith, Cumberland, England
These guys are pretty confusing! They like to use the same names over and over again – lots of Isaacs and lots of Harrisons. Here are the facts and sources I have sorted out so far:
- 23 Aug 1833 – Isaac born to Harrison & Ann Vipond (index)
- 1841 – Harrison and Ann and 3 kids are in Penrith, he was a lead miner (census)
- 1851 – Harrison (born 1805) and Ann (born 1808) and 5 kids are in Penrith, he was a lead miner (census)
- 1861 – Isaac and Catherine and 2 kids are in Penrith, he was a lead miner (census)
- 10 Oct 1864 – Isaac was born (death cert) (birth index says Dec 1865)
- 1870 – James and Bertie and 2 kids are in Pickaway OH (census)
- 1871 – Isaac and Catherine and 5 kids are in Penrith, he was a laborer born 1834 (census)
- 28 Oct 1878 – Harrison was naturalized in Rock Island IL, came to the US in 1871 (index)
- 1880 – Isaac and Katherine and 5 kids in Watertown, Rock Island IL, he’s a coal miner from England (census)
- 1880 – James and Roberty and 3 kids are in Pleasant, Fulton IL. They are from OH. He’s a day laborer with parents from NY and her parents are from VA. (census)
- 29 Jun 1887 – Isaac and Belle married in Rock Island IL (state index)
- 1900 – Isaac, Belle and 7 kids in Greene, Mercer IL. He was born 1865 England, she was born 1870 OH. He was a coal miner. (census)
- 1900 – Brother Frank, Bertha and Rosie Vipond are next door (census)
- 1900 – Catherine and son Harrison are nearby. She was born 1855 & came to the US in 1871 (census)
- 1910 – Isaac, Belle and 5 kids are in Big Stone MN (census)
- 29 Oct 1918 – Frank died in Greene, Mercer IL (state index)
- 1920 – Isaac, Belle and James are in Big Stone MN. They came in 1871. Belle was born in OH (census)
- 29 Sep 1924 – Harrison died in Greene, Mercer IL (state index) – which Harrison!?
- 29 Jan 1920 – Catherine died in Greene, Mercer IL (state index)
- 12 Mar 1944 – Isaac died Minneapolis, Hennepin MN. He was a farmer, not a vet, father was Harrison (death cert)
Funny thing I noticed: Catherine, Harrison and Frank all died on the 29th! Same county, different months & years, but they all died on the 29th – how weird is that?
This chart isn’t completely verified. I got some information very early when I just started doing genealogy and I wasn’t good about recording sources. I haven’t been able to verify some of this, so take it with a grain of salt!
