Find Ancestors

Hello, could you please look for a marriage in Canada (probably saskatchewan) between a Ronald Knox and a lady called Anita. He was born in 1930 so i guess it would have been about 1955.

Tom

Hi, would it be possible for you to look up JOHN SIDNEY O KERR b. 1874 believed to have gone to USA around 1891, sorry I cannot add much more other than he came from Sheffield

Thanks very much for the lookup.

Hi Lorraine,

It may not be the family I was looking for but he did have a son named Arthur J so it could be him and his wife. I've made a note of the info you've given me and who knows what it might turn up.

Many many thanks once again for your help.

It's much appreciated,

Regards, Lou

Any help would be fantastic
Thanks

Hi Lorraine

Thank you for offering "Look ups" in USA .

The family I am seeking left UK for Boston way, before 1911. Walter Keighley, b 1875 Yorkshire, his wife Emma and there two children, Lucy 1899 and Charles Wallace, 1903.

Are you able to trace there date of entry, and any records thereafter please.

Thank you in anticipation.

Woodie

Trying to trace family of Keith & Joan Hutton who emigrated to Edmonton, Ontario either late 50's or early 60's. He was a doctor born in Scotland during 1st world war who graduated in Ireland. He divorced Joan and returned to UK after fathering 5 children only known to me by their nicknames but I believe one was Susan and another Keith. No idea of whereabouts now - Can you possibly help please?

I'm looking for the birth record of my coulsin Leonard Arthur Eaton born in Canad circa 1936. Hid dad Gerald was hung in 1957 and he seem to have disappeared. I don't know how to go about tracing him. Can you help.

Hi Lorraine,

Many thanks once again for your very kind offer. It's another branch of my Baker family again I'm afraid. Hope you don't mind.

Could you please do a marriage look up for me approx 1915 - 1926 Pennsylvania / Ohio USA

For Arthur J Baker & Edna Sortman in either Pittsburg Pennsylvania or Montgomery Ohio

I don't know for sure where they married but he lived in Pennsylvania and their first child was born in Ohio in 1926

or could you look for him in 1930 this is his family;

Arthur J Baker b 1895 Pennsylvania head
Edna Baker b 1895 poss born in Germany wife
Doris Baker b 1926 Montgomery Ohio daughter
Arthur J Baker b 1927 son - not sure of area of birth but if not Ohio could be Pennsylvania USA


Many thanks, Lou
