Hi again Olaf. I am really struggling in the dark here. My grand mother
Harriet Henson was born in Northampton, England about 1857. Her father was
John Henson. My older sister told me that our mother told her Harriet's
mother's name was Harriet Burns and that she was born in Norway. I think
the Burns family originated in Scotland, but, for right now I would be glad
to find a way to research Norway. The only thing I can think of is to find
a marriage between some guy named Burns and a lady named Harriet. Almost
comical isn't it. Personally I don't think I have a tinkers chance but have
to at least try.
I was hoping maybe there would be some immigration records I could check.
Bev.
