     I am looking for any information about my g.g.g.g.g.grandmother Alice Steer Jones.
Her father was John Steer and her mother was Elizabeth Mariot. They were married June 12, 1768. 1758!!
Their children were: John, b.1769, Alice b.1770, Elizabeth,b.1771, George b.1774, Susan b. 1775, Jane b.1777, Joseph b.1779, and Ann b. 1780. I believe they all lived in Darnall.
