Members of the family came to U.S. from England early 1900s. Many thanks Liz (nee Lake) From: lakepch at sun-link.com (Jackie and/or Frank Lake) Date: Wed, 24 Nov 1999 20:49:13 -0500 Subject: [lake-surname] Lake Family (England - U.S.A) Liz, The following is an extract from the 1881 Census of Great Britain (excluding Ireland). It was taken in March or April and your grandfather was more than likely born afterwards. There is none with the name Francis C. Lake but it was not uncommon for the middle name to be omitted, likewise Francis could be Frank or other variants. If you have more information about your grandfather or his family, even older siblings, it would be a help and I could be more specific.
