Sarah Rands Jones 4/15/08
There is a David Rands 49 with Wife Sarah 49 and children Thomas age 23,John 19(?),Marian 16 and Howard 9 shown on the 1900 USA census.
They are living in Buffalo City, Erie, New York. have been married 24 years (1876) and have 4 of 5 children surviving.
David is shown as being born in June 1850 in England and Sarah is also shown born June 1850 in Canada of Irish parents. The eldest and youngest children were born in Canada and the middle two in Michigan. (have a look on the LDS site at the origional).
There are two David Rands born in England in 1850, one is registered in the June quarter, the other in September quarter so it is possible, if his birthday is late in the month, he could be either as both are registered in Glandford Brigg, Lincolnshire. There are no records of a death in that area before 1861 when just one David of that age and area is shown on census,
The UK 1851 census mentions no David Rands.
The UK 1861 census mentions David Rands age 10
The UK 1871 census mentions David Rands age 19
I am not able to access the UK census details at the moment so I can't give you any details. However if you still need them in a couple of weeks I can get them for you.
I hope this is of some help, unfortunately not my line of Rand's Though..
