The Kenneth Ladner Family Home Page

My g grandfather, Thomas Ladner was born in Oxford, Cornwall, England in 1819, married Jane Bennetts. My grandfather, Thomas Bennett Ladner was born also in Oxford, Cornwall, 1855, one of 11 children. The family migrated to the USA abt. 1867, settling in the Wilkes-Barre, Pa. area. Thomas Bennett married first
Lydia Davey in 1885. Children of that marriage were Emma, b 1886, Annie b. 1888, Thomas b. 1889, William b. 1892. He then married Stattie Dement in 1897. Children were Almeda b. 1898, Clara b. 1900, Clyde Harold (my father) b. 1901, Blanche Lillian b. 1903,Doc Benjamin b. 1905 , James Kenneth b. 1907 and Lucille b. and d. 1909.Trying to learn what happened to the rest of the family after Thomas and James moved to Alabama just before the 1900 census. Evidently the rest of the siblings from Cornwall stayed in the Wilkes-Barre area.
Any help would be appreciated.
