After two years of research and writing, the William Ainscough history is finally done! What began with a history that was a page and a half long, has been completed with a total of 37 pages and 66 footnotes. The whole experience has been interesting, fascinating and wonderful. I would rather call it a journey. I have learned so much about this English-American pioneer. Internet searches, and trips to libraries, universities, church archives, pioneer graveyards, and the towns William helped settle, have made me feel like a detective, unraveling a story that occured 150 years ago. Even though the history is "done", I am still looking for more information to understand about his life in Nauvoo Illinois, Cottonwood Utah, Smithfield Utah, and his birthplace in Eccleston, Lancashire England. I am looking for pictures, letters, journals, anything that William or his children may have written that will add to the story about his life. Please contact me if you can help. I would also like to hear from his many descendants. Thank you for sharing in this important endeavor.Wayne E. Broadhead
