Nannie's paternal great
grandparents were John Raisbeck and his wife Jane Bainbridge. John
was born on 1803 in Bamar, Isle of Man, England. He died in 1873.
Jane Anne was born sometime in 1803. She died in 1878. She
and John were masrried April 23, 1823. They had twelve children.
They left England on a sailing ship with 9 of the kids on their trip to New Diggings. Jane must have baeen a great woman tosurvive a trip like that. Just imagine things like diapers, meals, taking a bath, who sleeps where, sea sickness, the fear of one of the kids falling overboard!!! It probably took about two to three weeks and seemed like two to three years.
