Find Ancestors

Hmmm - the 1930 census says the 2 daughters were born in Illinois but Axa born New York. BUT can't find any Axa anywhere with birthplace NY.

It's tenuous, and possibly not her - but I was just wondering why they were in Illinois when he enlisted:

And here's possible WW1:

World War I Draft Registration Cards, 1917-1918

City: Chicago
County: Cook
State: Illinois
Birthplace: Ireland
Birth Date: 17 Aug 1894
Race: Caucasian (White)
FHL Roll Number: 1493580
DraftBoard: 29

He was a Mail Order Clerk. Was married (no name) and it's hard to make out if it said "no" or "two" children.

His address was 3435 Fillmore Street, Chicago.

I don't know where the Patrick came from but there can't be two chaps with the same name and dob (can there?)

Hi everyone

I have found Johns World War 11 Registration card on Family Search.
United States, World War II Draft Registration Cards, 1942 for John Falconer

Film Number: 1670036
Digital Folder Number: 4673442
Image Number: 01066
His address is given (not sure if Im allowed to put it on here if I am I will.)
His date of birth is 17th August 1894
Axa is his contact . He was working for the Ford Motor co, Dearborn Wayne in 1942.

I found something at last! Not of any use but a pleasure all the same.

Karen :-D

I have access to US census - just remind me what I'm meant to be looking for!

Not seeing anything that looks remotely like then Le Croys in the 1910.

Is there a US census that we can access before 1916 as hopefully she may still be living with her mum and dad ?
She may be the daughter that is missing from the 1920 list.
I know clutching at straws but my entire tree is built of straws!!!
:-)

can we put our heads together on this and think which LeCroy female married John!!! and do you think Frances and Margaret are children of Axa or a LeCroy?

spouse: Anna La Croy
children: Etheridge La Croy,? Genevieve La Croy...


name: Rudolph La Croy
residence: , Macomb, Michigan
estimated birth year: 1876
age: 44
birthplace: Michigan
relationship to head of household: Self
gender: Male
race: White
marital status: Married
digital folder number: 4311620
sheet number: 10

I have shown the info you have provided to Violet she is the daughter of John's sister Margaret.

She had Detroit in her notes but cannot remember anything else. I promised to help her as she does not have internet access and does not have any contact with her cousins.

So finding Detroit is reassuring. The only thing she said was Margaret Falconer may have gone by the name of Mary as this was common in her family to change between the two!

I dont have anything else to add Im afraid.

U.S. Naturalization Records Indexes, 1794-1995

Name: John Falconer
Birth Date: 17 Aug 1894
State: Michigan
Locality, Court: Detroit, District Court

There is a number 118422 PET (don't know what it is) and 9-7-38 which I'm guessing might be the date of naturalisation?

Thank you Marie Celeste

I think that is the same John . Thank you.
Appreciate you taking the time to search.
Kind regards

In addition to the death Ann posted there is this:

I notice the birth year is a little later, but Wayne has been mentioned in the census.

I'll see if I can find something

Thank you for looking into this for me Ann of Green Gables.

I had found the 1930 census and assumed that Axa was the mother of Margaret and Francis but if he was a widower in 1920 as your research shows their mother must have died which would explain possibly why the girls were being looked after by another family in 1920.

How can I find out who their mother was?
Thank you again for your help with this.
Kind regards

Karen
