Find Ancestors

Hi Lorraine
Hoping this thread & offer are still open.
I'm looking for descendadnts of Andrew NIMMO & Margaret McCULLOUGH. My GGGrandfather Matthew Clement (Clemens) NIMMO is their son. He married in 1873 in NSW, Australia, but lists his place of birth as Belfast, Antrim, Ireland. (long story - but I'd rather give as much detail as posible). I've recently found Andrew NIMMO, son of Andrew NIMMO & Margaret McCULLOUGH, marrying Kate PARKINSON 19 Jun 1888 in Manhaattan, New York. Can you find Andrew's passage to the USA? On the 1900 USA census there is a Margaret NIMMO, Andrew's niece, born in the USA. So another brother may also be in the USA, any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Chris

Hi Lorraine

Can I ask are you still doing searches for people in America. If so I wonder if I might ask you a favour. Sometime ago I asked you for some help with a Garland May and you helped me all you could. However I have hit a brick wall. So I was advised to search for his brother and wonder if you might be able to help. Garlands brothers name is Albert may born 1916 Polk Tennessee. he may be dead now but I am trying to find a marriage for him and children/ grandchildren. I understand that you have alot of request and you may not be able to help me at all. I have added a thread to my existing thread for Garland May but though id ask you if you are able to help me at all. Hope you dont mind Lorraine all the best Mike

I too have been trying to trace Harry Richardson and possibly Isabella Kimbrey.

Their eldest child was Gwendoline M Richardson b 1918 in Northamptonshire. Gwendoline had 7 siblings all born in Finedon Northamptonshire England. Their mother's surname was Kimbrey re their birth certificates and relatives think her name was Isabel. I researched several times for their marriage and simply can't find it.

Do you know the age of Isabella?

Maybe this isn't the same family but it is certainly a coincidence.

Muriel Denney

Hi Lorraine,

Thank you so much, you have been a great help with what you have found for me.
Regards,
Mardi.

Lorraine,

The wife was Olive Kate Attfield born 1878 in Guildford, Surrey. I know she died in Duval, Florida 1918. Which is why I say Walter and sons came back to England sometime after this.
The full names of them are Walter Thomas, Charles Floyd and Donald Walter if this helps with the searching.

Thanks
Viv

Hi Lorraine

Sorry its taken me so long to reply ..I have been on holiday. Thanks for the new information. I am going to talk to my mum again to see if she was sure Uriah had a son named Mark . I will let you know what I find. Thanks again

Hi,
I am trying to find the records of Walter Tagg, born 1864 in London. His sons Donald Tagg born 1916 in Ocala, Florida and Charles Tagg born 1914 also in Ocala, Florida.
I am after any records of them retuning to England, I would think sometime after 1918, as that's when the wife/mother died.
I know they did return, but can find no records.

Many thanks for any info,

Viv

looks like stella had been married before

Australia Marriage Index, 1788-1949
about Stella O Gardiner
Name: Stella O Gardiner
Spouse Name: John F Harmer
Marriage Date: 1917
Marriage Place: New South Wales
Registration Place: Sydney, New South Wales
Registration Year: 1917
Registration Number: 3169

but there are no marriages for a stella harmer ?

Hi Lorraine,

I wasn't 100% sure that 'Stella' was travelling with Edward......It looks like this is the proverbial 'skeleton in the cupboard' !

If they were married (which it looks like they were) it was bigamy.
My Grandmother Alice May Parker refused to divorce him (her being RC) right up until 1940 that I know of.

After Edward left Alice and the children (my mother was the youngest child) in Melbourne, he was in sydney for a few years, thats when he would have met Stella and maybe married her, then he went to manage tin mines in Siam and Malaysia.

Edward was a professional soldier RFA until 1916 and was recalled for duty in the UK (from Florida) in 1940, he never returned to Australia and died in Shadoxhurst Kent in 1956

I have an address for him in 1931...Captain E.A. Parker. c/o Dr K.F.Vail. The Log Cabin, Lockhart, Florida...Would it be possible for you to look up this K.F. Vail for me please Lorraine.

Also would it possible to see if there was a marriage to Stella, some time between 1920 - 1929 in N.S.W.

Thank you so much for your help Lorraine.

Wonder where they were when the census was taken??

I may not get back until morning, it's 9PM here in Sydney.
Regards Mardi.
