Lincoln

Our Lincoln ancestors:

  • Hannah Lincoln.
  • Her daughter, Celia married Henry Cornaby (Harry William Cornaby). We know they had at least five children, including:
  • Harry William Cornaby (known as William Cornaby), b.1846. He married Elizabeth White, and they had three children, including:
  • Celia, b.1877. She married William Charles Brown in 1902, and they had five children, including:
  • Dorothy May Brown, b.1903. She married William Ashman and they had six children.
  • Their daughter, Sheila, is married to John English.
  • Their son, Colin, is married to Louise Duerden.

We know very little about the Lincoln family. However, we have been in touch with someone in Canada who is also descended from Henry and Celia Cornaby (see Cornaby - the Canadian branch). He wrote:

"I came across a small box and in the lid is a note which reads... This belonged to Mrs. Hannah Lincoln and left to her daughter, Nellie Lincoln, who married a Cornaby". [Perhaps Celia was known as Nellie to her family.]
