Hi Lorraine
I am wanting marriage information and a date/location of a marriage for two sisters.
The first might be easier.
Ellen Ann Mellor born 12 Mar 1857 in Fulstone Huddersfield
died in Kansas 11 Feb 1945. Married a Joseph Seal c/ 1895 possibly in Kansas.
The second -I have been searching for years.
Emma Mellor born 7th Nov 1855 in Fulstone Huddersfield . Last on an 1871 census in England then disappears off the radar.Believe she went to the USA.Was told that her married name was Duff and that there was a (presumably) daughter called Eva Duff. (This person however had three daughters and lived in Canada. The only reference to the location is in a written letter which states that they lived 500 miles north of Seattle in Washington in the 1980's).I know this is all vague but I have nothing else to go on.-Any info appreciated- Regards Janet

Hi Lorraine, Robert Forrester Mcewen married Mary Sibley Adams on 14 Oct 1874 in Detroit Wayne Michigan.I know about the family that they had. I am looking for information on Marys family. I believe her father was Charles Adams and her mother was Mary Sibley. Mary i think is daughter of Solomon Sibley and Sarah Whittle Sproat.I cannot find Charles and Mary on any census or their marriage. I think Michigan is the place to look. Many thanks Philippa

Could you see if GEORGE HERBERT MELLORS (born c1882, Chesterfield, Derbyshire, England.) and his family are in Vancouver in 1911 Canadian Census. He might be using his middle name and should have wife, Clara with him as well as two children Sydney and Wilfred.
