Have only recently discovered our grandfather had 9 siblings
(we were told of only 1).
Been able to fill in a lot of blanks through various sites...some of William and Mary's children (our grandfather's parents) remained in Liverpool, England - others ventured across to USA.
For this query, we have only focused on the UK side.
William (from Belfast Ireland born c. 1858) and Mary (from Dundalk, Louth Ireland b c. 1862) married 7 Sept. 1882 in Liverpool.
Mary Ann (Annie) McGinn (b: 1894 Liverpool) married Richard Lovelady 27 July, 1908. We do know that Annie died on 5th April at the Rodney Nursing Home (think this is/was in Liverpool, UK) as there was a newspaper cutting in Granpa's papers, but it didn't state the year.
Annie & Richard had son Bernard Robert b:1914 d: 1997.
Other children? Did Bernard marry? GrandChildren?
Eleanor (Nellie) McGinn b: 12 Feb 1886 Liverpool. Married? Children?
Mary McGinn (b: 1888 Liverpool) married Joseph Bennett in 1913.
Children: Terence 1914 - Monica 1916 - Bernardettte 1924. Who did they marry? Children?
The other children of William & Mary were John b 1890, Nora Margaret who married James MADDEN (lived New York), William James who married Anna ? (lived Boston), Gertrude Gladys b 10 June 1895, Austin who married Eleanor Thompson (lived New York), Agatha Madeline b: 1901 and our Grandfather Vincent Gerald who married Alma Rigney (lived Sydney Australia).
We have tracked their life journeys in America 1915-1930's, their marriages (some), their children (some) and their passing (some).
We have the death dates for William James, Nora, Austin & Eleanor (and their son Vincent).
Most of the information so far for the American family side is via Passenger Lists and Census, Social Security which has been fantastic
Is there a way of locating birth and marriage index details for USA for 1930-current so we can find 2nd cousins and extended family?
If anyone has knowledge of, or is part of any of these families (UK or USA families), we would dearly love to hear from you.
As we are new to this family history exploration, please forgive if we ask too many questions!!!!
Thank you.
