Hi Lorraine, Yes they came back to England and had 3 children, Katherine Sibley 1875, Alexandrine 1876 and Kenneth Ogilvie 1878.Robert was born in Glasgow Scotland 1836 and I think Mary 1852 in Michigan.The girls emigrated to Detroit in 1895 and became well known artists. Have found them on 1900 and 1910 census living with great aunt Sarah Alexandrine Sibley.It is information on Marys parents i cannot find (census and marriage)Charles Adams and Mary Sibley. Thanks Philippa

Philippa

do you know roberts and marys dates and places of birth i cant find anything definate on them as yet but if i can narrow it down i may be able to find them

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

Hi Lorraine

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.

I found George's WW1 record and various trips by Clara back and forth. Would like to know where he is and what he's up to pre-WW1.

Thanks in anticipation
