My Grandmother was Emma Caunt Peters born in Hucknall Torkard, Nottinghamshire. She came to the U.S. in the mid 1800's with her husband and I believe two of her children.
They settled in the Utica-Vernon area of NY State.

I have been inquiring into the Boxing Hall of Fame about having 'Big Ben' one of our favorite ancestors included. The International Boxing Hall of Fame is in Canastota, NY, 13032. Would be nice if others of the family lobbied for his inclusion also.
After all Bendigo Thompson, Jem Ward and Nat Langham are included and I believe Jem Ward was related to Ben.
Hope to hear from some relatives.
