: : : : : Hi, I'm searching for Harrop members who could know anything at all about Ely or Eli Harrop, wife Rosella with three children probably from New Jersey. Son Laverne, daughters Margaret and Mina. The time frame about late 1800's to early 1900's. Help would appreciated. Thanks, Debra Harrop
: : : : Hi there yourself
: : : : I am sorry I have no idea about the above names
: : : : , but it is rare to see the "H" name even here in the UK,let alone
: : : : over the Atlantic. Do you know much about where your
: : : : family came from originally this side of the pond?.
: : : : Most probably Yorkshire way ( HArrop is a Yorkshire name). Just out of curiosity
: : : : I entered my name on the google searcher.Your bit came up!.
: : : : Hope you do not get too many like this, real time waste ..
: : : : I know. Sorry about that, I could not resist the note.
: : : : I have often wondered if I had family any other place in the world
: : : : maybe I do , maybe not. The chances alwasy intriugue me when I see
: : : : the name anywhere else , as I said it is NOT
: : : : ALL THAT COMMON !.
: : : : Cheers and have a good holiday over there
: : : : Julian (Harrop)
: : : : North Scotland
: : : Hello other Harrop's!
: : : Just like Julian I have no idea of the names either and I also took a chance and put my last name in google just to see what happened. I am in America though and I do live in New Jersey but I was born and raised in Philadelphia. It's kind of freaky seeing that the Harrop name is all over the world because it is a rare name. It kind of makes me wonder and want to look into the family name.
:
: I have a Harrop in my ancestry. Olive Harrop born 1848 married a William Rowbotham born 1856 died 1904 buried in Borough cemetery Hyde or Hyde Cemetery Cheshire England. Olive came to America with her children and died in 1915 buried in New Bedford, Massachusetts. Records are confusing. Would love to be able to fill in the blanks.
I'm also a rare Harrop. My ancestors were traces from Macclesfield, Cheshire, UK. From there they came to the US with the Mormons. We moved from Utah to California when I was 12. (No, I'm not Mormon). I'd like to hear from others.
