Find Ancestors

Maz..

What are the names of their known children? I did try to find their marriage and found it but it stated "Full Age" for both so I couldnt see which is James with wife Sophia in the census as there are few like you wouldnt believe it !!

Hi T

Yes if you don't mind, understand life goes on off the boards.

Request re Collins family 8 Oct 2009, hope you can find it.

Thanks

Frances

T could I please ask for one more on this? I looked on Ancestry (which I have just not reupped after 10 years 'cos I didn't think I needed it any more...) and there is a Sarah Kippin with a father John mentioned in the England and Wales Christening Records 1530-1906. Do you have access to that and if so could you look for me to see the year and place? Thanks very much. Brit

Hi T

Many thanks for your help with finding William Eady's father and mother and for the dates you have given me. You have been a star.
Margaret

Brit..

Sorry

Oops sorry Frances, could you please remind me where they were in the Census before? My memory is like a sieve!

Hi again T Thanks very much for looking and for the names. I know so little about her but these do all seem a bit early for her. I will keep the info. just in case. I appreciate your help, I am happy with what you found on her marriage. Best regards Brit

Hi T

Ooops sorry didn't give enough info, you found info for me on 28/29 Sept re Mary C Wells nee Collins mmn man(n)ion on the california death index she was the daughter of Joseph Collins born 1855/6 and Catherine nee Man(n)ion they arrived in USA 1882 from Manchester.

It was Rose and another lady on GR who found details of 1900 USA census 1920 census just wondered if they could be found on 1910 USA census.

Hi T

Can you search for Mary Kate Handforth/Handford who was born in Ireland c1880. She lived in the San Francisco area possibly Alameda. Her youngest daughter was Margaret Mary born c1920. Any information you can find on the family from the 1900 to 1930 USA census would be really helpful. Thank you.

Hello. I am searching for John E Wheeler, born Ealing 1884, who emigrated to Canada sometime after WW1. I wonder if you have access to passenger lists?

Regards
Jill

Jill..

Should John be with anyone? Was he married by then and did he stay there long or just visiting?

Re John Wheeler: I can't pick a marriage for him as there are so many! So don't know if he married before he left for Canada. I think he settled in Vancouver, but I have a picture of him still in England in August 1919. Hoping that the canada census might pick him up.

Regards
Jill

Oops Jill.. Maybe not after WW1..

Hi T

Since we had success last time would it be possible for you to find out what happened to Adrienne Handford between 1920 and 1930? Did she marry or die?

Thanks
Sam

Samantha..

Cant spot her anywhere.. This what Ancestry has for California

California Birth Index, 1905-1995
California Death Index, 1940-1997
California Divorce Index, 1966-1984
California Marriage Index, 1960-1985
California Marriages, 1850-1877

So she may have died before 1940 or married before 1960. Sorry, but did find this..

California Death Index, 1940-1997

Name: Muriel Ann Puccetti
Social Security #: 0
Sex: FEMALE
Birth Date: 8 Jan 1905
Birthplace: California
Death Date: 23 May 1952
Death Place: Alameda
Mother's Maiden Name: Healy
Father's Surname: Hanford

Sorry,

T

Thanks T. At least I can try and research Muriel's line. Would you be able to seach Kathryn and Mary's death? It will show the same surname information as Muriel (not the married name obviously).

Would you also be able to search the marriages of Joan and Mollie Hicthen. There is a chance this was before 1960 but they both had children. Joan married a Garrard and Mollie married either an Anderson or Fletcher.

Thanks
Sam
