Find Living Relatives

Also the address in the letters we have is 3941 Barnes avenue too :)

No problem.

You had asked about living relatives. Although the records we've found aren't conclusive, it's unlikely that they had any children.

Thankyou all so much (Im very new to all this only been researching for about 1 week) xx Mary was indeed from Jarrow (my home town also) I was going round in circles didn't occur to me that they may of travelled separately(also I didn't know the origin of John Luup) - hopefully this information will help me search for their living relatives also xx Many thanks.

Her arrival in 1928 gives name of her father as Thomas Smith, Jarrow, England. She's going to join husband John Luup, 198 Gleason Ave., Bronx, NY.

Hi I am trying to research my tree to America, My Great grandaunt Mary Smith married John Luup in South Shields, Durham (north east England) in 1927 & emigrated to the US. Letters written to my great grandmother place them in the Bronx, New York in the 1930s.
