Find Ancestors

Hi Mary, pestering again! A while ago you found me some of my Leeming relatives on census. I was wondering if you could find me this couple as well when you get chance; Thomas Leeming, about 1806, Eavestone, Ripon north Yorkshire, Ag Lab and wife Ellen nee Lonsdale, 1804, Sawley Ripon, North Yorkshire. On 1841, 51, 61 by any chance. Thank-you! Han x

Hi again Mary How are you tonight? l had look ups done just to make sure in the South and West of Australia for Arthur Louis Powney plus variants but no sign. Best wishes Pam

Hi Mary, I asked you last week if you could find anything about Benjamin H Hopkins born in USA 1890, It now seems he was known as Benjamin H Eddison whenhe was born and his Mother could have been either Eveline Hopkins (Unmarried) or Louisa (Hopkins) Addison who was married to John W Addison. I have been able to locate Benjamin in Armley Leeds with Eveline and his Grandfather Samuel And Grandmother Jayne Hopkins in the 1881 census. As you can imagine this is really bugging me as i have come to a complete halt in finding out anymore. I look forward to any clues you may be able to dig up for me, Regards, Terry

Sorry Mary, RE: Benjamin H Hopkins In my last message i meant 1891 census when he was just 1 year old. Terry Have managed to find out more about Benjamin Herbert Eddison. He went to New York in 1912 with his father John W Eddison. He must have returned to England as he again went to New York on the Mauretania in 1919. The record states as being born n Providence? I have also found a record of a Benjamin Eddison born around the same time and died in Michigan 1963. If you could help to confirm this in any way i would be most grateful although i am stiil intirgued as to what happened to his mother Louisa. Regards Terry

JOHN LAMBERT My Apologies John. In my last message I said that Bernt had left the UK before 1910 I meant to say he left the USA before the 1910 Census as I have been unable to find anything on him in the US. Regards Mary

Many thanks for your kind offer! Would you be prepared to have a look for these people on the 1920 and 1930 USA censuses please, probably living in Utah? Their names are: John Ridge born 1885 UK Sarah Ann Ridge born 1887 UK Robert William Ridge born 1889 UK Florence Ridge born 1892 UK George William Ridge born 1894 UK Alfred Ridge born 1900 UK. They were all born in Middlesborough and I believe emigrated with their parents to the USA in 1915. I have Ancestry but don''t have the bit that covers USA - never found many relatives who live abroad before! Cheers, Horatia

JANE WINFIELD Hi again Jane. I can only find three Ann Fosters in the 1841 but none born 1820 One is 1812 living Stoke Goldington One 1826 Living SToke Mandeville and the Other born 1816 Living Whitchurch. Regards Mary. I also checked the 1841 for her parents and no she is not on the next page either.

HANNAH ROONEY Hi Hannah. I have sent yo the images. Regards Mary

PAM LOGAN POWNEY Sorry Pam I still can't find anything on him. Mary

TERRY HOPKINS Hi Terry I have looked and looked but can't find anything re your Louise Eddison. I did check the Birth of Benjamin He was born 22nd May 1889 Rhode Island. Parents John W and Louise. I also checked the death you found. but unfortunately there is no image and does not give any details apart from the birthdate which is also 22nd May 1889 so I would proabably assume that this is the same person. I can't find anything on him on any of the census records either have used various spellings but nothing. Do you happen to know if he married at all regards Mary PS Have just found a Boarder Crossing for him I think From Canada to Detroit Michigan in 1925. This also says born 1889 Providence Road Island. I have saved the image if you would like it. Now I have found him in 1925 I will take another look at the 1930 census

Hi Mary I am looking for a ALFRED GEORGE NEWEY. He is usually known as GEORGE. He was born 27 Nov 1876 in Mayfair, London. I have him on the census in UK in Burton on Trent up to 1891. I can't find him on 1901. I do have Ancestry UK. I know he went to the USA with his son, also George born 1907. Think I have him on a passenger list from 1912 on the Winifredian going to New York. I know he returned to UK with his son and then left his son in foster care. Lost him after that. Can't find a death in England and Wales. He was an 'Entertainer' possibly Music Halls. If I have the correct person on the passenger list, he is described as a vocalist. My question is: Did he go back to the USA? Can you find him on any census there please? Margaret

HORATIA NELSON Can you tell me the Parents names Please Mary

Mary, Re your message above: They are not living with their parents but their names are Robert Ridge and Florence Ridge (birth name Kemp adopted Jackson). Further info: Spouse for John Ridge could be: Amelia Sherwood Spouse for Robert William Ridge could be: Frances Driffill Spouse for Florence Ridge could be: Heber Charles Hicks Spouse for George William Ridge could be: Sarah Maude Andersen Spouse for Alfred Ridge could be: Amme Zitella Startup Cheers, Horatia

HORATIA NELSON Is it only the 1920 and 1930 census information you would like. do you have their deaths and marriages and children etc. I have found some WW1 Draft Cards for the Boys and info on LDS Site for marriages etc Mary

RIDGE Family: Mary, Yes, only require 1920 & 1930 census info. I have marriage dates from LDS. I thought all the family went over in 1915; but now I think some went a little earlier so if you see any of them on the 1910 census, that would be good. I would like the WW1 Draft Cards info if you can supply it. Thank you for your help. If it's not too much trouble, could you send the census images if you can track them down please? Sorry about asking about so many people! I do appreciate your help. Cheers, Horatia

MARGARET IN BURTON ON TRENT Hi Margaret I can only find one that fits the bill Alfred Newey born England c1875 with wife anna but unofrtunately his occupation is Bus Driver or Motor man Mary

HORATIA NELSON No Problem If you PM me with your E Mail Address I will forward what I have. which is so far not including the marriages Florence Ridge Immigration 1911 Alfred Ridge 1920 and 1930 also WW1 Draft Robert Junior 1920 and 1930 also WW1 draft John Ridge WW1 draft I could not find the daughters as yet but perhaps if you can let me know when they married I could look under married names for them Mary

RIDGE Family PM on the way to you. I don't know Sarah Ann Ridge's married name - maybe she died without marrying? But Florence Ridge maried Heber Charles Hicks in 1913. I hope this helps. Cheers, Horatia

RIDGE Family For Horatia Nelson Hi Mary, John Ridge died 1943 in Nevada but there is an Amelia Ridge on the 1930 US Census. I think this is John's wife. I can see her on my web search results on FTM but of course the info is locked out to me because it is in the USA. If she was born about 1883 possibly in the UK this could be John's wife. Her maiden name was Amelia Sherwood and she died in 1961 in the USA and was buried in Utah. Cheers, Horatia

Hi Mary Thank you for looking. Can you please check under George NEWEY born 1876 London. Occupation something to do with Show Business. He was known as George most of his life. Margaret
