I believe that Thomas Bousfield bc 1822 in County Durham was married to Hannah [possibly MacGredor or McGregor] in 1852 & that they had the following children: Thomas bc 1856; George bc 1858; Henry bc 1860; Joseph bc 1863; Margaret Ann bc 1865. After Thomas was killed, I believe that Hannah [his widow] married John Curry in 1880. [All the above is per the 1871 & 1881 census records] The above son, Joseph Bousfield married Mary Jane Lawson in 1881 & he died in 1883. His widow, Mary Jane, became the 3rd wife of Charles Hackett in 1889. Charles Hackett was my Great Great uncle, twin brother of my GG Grandfather Robert Hackett.
