Hello Lilyellowrose, I'm sorry I haven't contacted you before but with holidays etc I haven't been doing much work on my research. Our common ancestor is Mark (1828) father of Mark and Isaac, father of Ernest.I know that Mark Jnr was in Peoria for the births of 2 of his children in 1885 and 1890 but was back in UK by 1893. He is on the 1881 and 1901 UK censuses (I live in England). I would be interested to know what other Callear info you have. Perhaps I may be able to help you. Regards, Lorraine
