Mark Dixon Birth Sep 1884 in Dalton in Furness, Lancashire

Journal by wizard28

My grandmother's brother Mark Dixon (Birth Sep 1884 in Dalton in Furness, Lancashire, England) sailed to the USA in 1907. We think he married Mary Ada Abbott in Negaunee, Marquette, Michigan. Not sure if Ada was born in the USA or England.

Looking for any Marriage, children or grandchildren
