Find Ancestors

CAROLE VINT Hi Carole, I have searched for hours on end but cant find anything I only found one possible birth for a Catherine Denine but that was in New York. 1869. this I found on a census, showing mother as Bridget born Ireland and son unable to read name age 11 Bridget down as widow. I have also searched for you Thomas Grayson with no luck I think it is possible they married in US or Canada and then moved back to the UK. as I cant trace him before the 1901 census which you already have. I wish I could help further. if you find any more info please let me know and I will do my best Mary

CAROLE VINT Hi Maybe they moved to Canada when she was young I have looked for somone else only to find they were born in Canada and then moved to america and she states on all records as born america you never know Mary

Hi Mary - that's my John Charles Peace! His mothers maiden name was Nodder - would be grateful for any details you have for his birth. I have them back in Yorkshire in 1861 and John Charles eventually married Eliza Aston from Birmingham. Beats me how anyone can confuse peace with fish but there you go! Many thanks for what you've got so far. Sheelagh

Hi Mary, I'm after a John UREN b abt 1880 London, England, who was said to have emigrated to America with his mother (probably Catherine UREN nee WHITE? b. St Hilary, Penzance area,Cornwall abt 1854). I have them on the 1881 census visiting in West Ham, London, then nothing until John married in 1900. Catherine was supposed to have remarried (if she was married at all to his father!) but I don't know who to, or on what continent. I'm unsure if John returned alone. His middle name was Humphrey, but this wasn't always recorded. Sometimes UREN has been mistranscribed as URIN/URINE/YOUREN/WREN etc. Is there anything there? Many thanks, Sue.

Hi Mary, I know you are very busy with lookups but if you have a spare moment could you please see if there is any trace of a Robert MORGON. I'm sorry but I don't know very much about him - except that he was almost certainly born in England in the late 1890's. I do know that he was a Major in WW2 and was killed at Arnheim. I believe at the time he was with the Canadian special force. I'm not sure if you have access to Canadian records with your subscription so if you haven't - sorry just ignore this request. Any information on the MORGON name (not Morgan) in relation to Canada would be helpful. Many thanks Jenny

Hello Mary I am seeking information on my Gt Grandparents George and Annie Lemnack (Lamnick) both of Austria, George was born c1861. They arrived in Canada around 1903 and lived in Winnipeg for 7 years before moving to Regian Sask. I have not been able to find them on a census record or their immigration details. Their childrens names are Josephine and Rudolph both born in Austria. Any information would be terrific. With thanks Danielle

Mary Can you do a lookup on the 1860 US Census - looking for details of Tryphena Keys

Hi Mary I was wondering if you could find some of this family on the US 1860 census for me? The info is from 1850 US census and they were living in Providence, Rhode Island. All were born in England, sometimes the name is spelt HATFIELD. ALFRED HADFIELD, age 23 ELIZABETH HADFIELD, age 21 FREDERICK HADFIELD, age 17 CHRISTOPHER HADFIELD, age 15 ANDREW HADFIELD, age 27 ELIZABETH HADFIELD, age 29 MARY HADFIELD, age 4 Hope that you'll be able to help in some way, thanks for your time. Dawn :-)

Hi -Thanks for offer Hermann Dieudonne-born 23 Apr 1849 Stuttgart made application 849662 for England in Aug 1869. In 1871 he [a merchant] was living at 81 Stockwell Rd Lambeth with Hermann Osterlay-[a commercial clerk]abt 1850 born Germany and a George Zeller-bn about 1841in Stuttgart A search of Ancestry.Com for Hermann Dieudonne -using Soundex in the United States brings up the 1900 and 1930 Us Federal Census-the 1851-1891 New York Passenger list and the Port Images list as well as the Passenger and immigration lists index 1500-1900 These entries are padlocked to me Only one entry against each heading-i dont know this being soundex how good a match to Hermann Dieudonne it is. I really want as much information as possible regarding this person who i think may have been my gt Grandfather To be really greedy for information details of any Dieudonne's moving from Germany to the States would be appreciated,from the name there could be a French connection. Entering Hermann Osterlay also gets several entries As i think he was a best friend any information regarding him would be useful Thanks-Stanley

SHEELAGH PHILLIPS Hi Glad to have been able to help, the only info i can find on John Charles Peace is he was born N York 1850 but on one world tree from the Nodders you can go back to the 1400's on all sides Mary

DANIELLE BARRY Do you have any other informatrion on the children Josephine and Rudolph. are you sure the names did not change when they got to canada. I presume not as you seem to know how long they lived in Winnipeg. if you have anything at all it might help to narrow it down. the american and canadian records are extremely large. look forward to hearing from you sorry for delay in replying but have been working so not been online Mary

There are three you missed on there two of which I think might be parents Edward Hadfield 59 Betty (Probably Elizabeth age 54) and a Sarah Age 19 have made a start on 1860 but there are loads to check so bear with me, Have been working since Friday so not had much online time. am searching yours now and will be online again tomorrow so will be in touch asap Regards Mary

Dear Mary, Do you have access to census/immigration info which could trace the Gibbons family for the years they were in Canada? William Austin Gibbons born Manchester 1842, married Hannah in England and emigrated c 1870/71, supposedly to 'the New York side of Niagara Falls' where they had a restuarant, and where according to family history daughter Alice was born c. 1871. However 1881 census in England has Alice born in Canada. Son William born later in Canada where they moved to at some point before returning to England 1878. Hannah was catholic, but I don't know about William. Another kind person has checked the 1870 New York census, and cannot find the family there, so I wonder if you can shed any light. Many thanks, Miranda

STANLEY ARCHER Hi Stanley had a look at the names you gave me but when looking at the images the names are deff diff apart from one possible. Hermann Duden Arrived New York 1869 aged 21 this is from the index so does not give any further information. I did look for any Dieudonnes and there are hundreds from france and Germany. Did find two on the same application Number as your Hermann Carl Dieudonne Birth 7th May 1848 Stuttgart Application Date Aug 1866 Destination N America Number 849662 Eugen Wilhelm Dieudonne Born 9th Nov 1855 Stuttgart Application May 1871 N America Number 849662 Also found immigration record for Carl Dieudonne Arrival 1879 Departure Bremen Germany Ship Name Main Travelled 1st Cabin. Nothing on immigration for Hermann or Eugen as yet or Hermann Osterlay Mary
