Find Ancestors

Hi Joy

Sorry no luck with passenger lists for Isaac. Nor death for Elizabeth though there aren't really many death records on Ancestry. You'd need to try the state department where she was living when she died to check - bit like checking our GRO records, except there's no central index, each state keeps their own records.

Hi Doreen

The last available American census is 1930, therefore, won't be able to see if Charlotte & DAvid married 1934 had any children - next census would be 1940 - not sure when that will be released.

Carol

Hi Katherine

Any idea of your grandmother Beatrice Brookland's parents names and dates/years of birth?

Carol

Hi Chris

Love the name Jeremiah! Not too many entries on ancestry for that name, here's the one I think you're interested in.

Passenger and Immigration Lists Index, 1500s-1900s

Doesn't give much more than you already knew, but at least you can try and see if you can get hold of a copy of that book, try interlibrary lending? Or ask if anyone in the states can access it?

Good luck

Hi Carol,
Thanks for trying to find my Samuel J Hurt.
Is there any chance that he may still be in this country on the 1891 and 1901 census?
Any help would be appreciated.
Many Thanks,
Susan

Thanks Carol - my you are quick! It is a possibilty even though age is not correct.

If it's not too much to ask could you look up ISAAC b. 1840 U.K. on shipping lists? - from around 1858 or so?

Is it possible that ELIZABETH might appear in Death Records - after 1920?

Many, many thanks!! Joy

Hi Helen

Sorry, can't find Carlyle or James Daniel/s in 1870 or 1880 census

Carol

Hi Susan

No luck I'm afraid, tried passenger lists, but couldn't really tie any thing up, tried 1900, 1910 censuses.

Carol

Hi Joy

Nearest I could get to Isaac Row is this one

1870, Suffolk, Massachuesetts

Isaac Row, age 37, Carpenter, born England
Arabella Row, age 34, Keeping House, born Ireland
Bessie Row, age 13, born Ireland
Annie Row, age 6, born Mass
Eva Row, age 4, born Mass

(Couldn't find him 1880 or 1900)


Not much luck with Elizabeth either I'm afraid, found her as you say in 1920, but not 1930 or earlier.

Sorry

Carol

Hi Janet

Sorry couldn't find Rachel Entwistle, tried 1870 as she's in UK by 1881, no luck, no luck also 1860.

Carol

Hi Yvonne

Re John Gaffney

As you don't know when he went to the states, I've tried 1900 first, there are three John Gaffney's born abt 1860 in Ireland living in New York, they are

Brooklyn Ward 8, Kings, New York
John E Gaffney, 38 yrs old, born Ireland, a carpenter, emigrated 1890 - living with him are
Winnifred Gaffney, Wife, age 36, born Ireland, emigrated 1884/6
Mary Gaffney, daughter, age 10, born New York

Manhattan, New York, New York (hmm, don't really think it's this one)
St John Gaffney, age 40, born Ireland, emigrated 1870, Lawyer
Fannie, wife, age 40, born Yew York, Lawyer

Manhattan, New York, New York
John Gaffney, age 38, born Ireland, emigrated 1884, occupation Laborer RR (Rail Road?)
Bridget, wife, age 32, born Ireland, emigrated 1886
Annie, daugther, age 7 born New York
Patrick, son, age 3, born New York
Philip Gaffney, brother, age 25, born Ireland, emigrated 1895, Laborer RR

Let me know if you think any of these could be your man, or if you want me to check later censuses.

Hi Carol, looking for any information on my Great Grandfather Christopher Carlyle Daniels born 1861 Puget/Pughet Sound, Washington, USA. Fathers name James Daniels - a wine merchant, Mothers name Rose St. Clare. Came out to Australia (don't have the date or the name of the ship) and changed name to Daniel (no "s" )and married on 13/5/1889 in Hughenden Qld to Jessie Hucker. His age on marriage cert was 28 and his occupation was a pastrycook. They had three children - Sidney St. Clair Daniel, Joseph Henry Daniel and Mary Kathleen Daniel known as Jessie). Great Aunty Jessie always said that her father was a "Canadian Jew" and that he was a cook that travelled around to different places cooking for shearers before getting a restaurant. He died in 1930 at Parramatta N.S.W. That's all the information I have on him. Any information on him would be appreciated. Thanks Helen Brisbane Australia

Hi Carol,
I hope you are starting to feel a bit better now.
I have an American request for you please:-
Samuel James Hurt (shown as Hart on 1881 census) born in Marylebone, Middlesex and his wife Minnie. On the 1881 census they had 2 daughters, Sarah and Minnie. Someone on GR found all the names on a New York passenger list after 1881, but did not have full access to give me further information.
I would really love to find them on any census after 1881.
Many Thanks,
Susan
P.S. Have to go to work soon, but will check back later this afternoon.

Hello Carol,
What a generous offer from you!
I have found some of my ROW family in Massachusetts - they emigrated from England around 1870 - 1880 and settled first in Cambridge Mass.

I am wondering if you could look for ISAAC ROW. b.1840 Plymouth U. K. may have emigrated around 1860 - that's when I lose him in U. K.

Also ELIZABETH ROW b. 1856 PLYMOUTH U.K.
I have found her in 1920 Census living with her nephew - another ISAAC b. 1868 Plymouth U>K>

I know it's a lot toask but I long to know anything about them.

Many thanks and hope you will soon be recovered

Regards - Joy Stringer (Norfolk U.K.)

Carol
Hope you're feeling better. I know this might be a little cheeky so if it's too much it's OK!
My ancestor, Rachel Entwistle states on census in England that she was born c 1856 in FRANKFORD USA. Father Thomas - mother Jemima. Problem is I've found a few Frankfords in the USA and not too sure which one it is. Mother Jemima was born n Knutsford c 1821. Father Thomas I can't find in any UK census so presume he died in US.
MAny thanks
Janet

Thanks Carol for taking the time, its much appreciated! Only thing that is a bit dubious about it is the birth date as i was sure it was 1860 not 1861. He was one of a set of twins so if i can find either of their birth certificates or the other twins UK census info as he moved to England from Ireland i should be able to see if they match up at all but it is a step in the right direction.

Thank you for your help, hope you feel better!!
Louella.

thank you carol for taking time to do this for me regarding leslie i can now try canada.john gaffneywould be born around 1860,s as near as i can get .hope you are recovering.

Hi Louella

Couldn't find anything in the 1880 census, which would be the first one to try, 1890, mostly destroyed by fire, but in 1900, think this may well be him

Manhattan, New York, New York

James Kenny, Head, Widower, Age 38, born July 1861, born Ireland, emigrated 1878, 21 years in country, naturalised, occupation Day Labourer
Charles, Kenny, Son, 13, born Jun 1886 New York, At School
Francis Kenny, Son, 11, born Feb 1889, New York, At School
Joseph Kenny, Son, 9 born Mar 1891, New York, At School
Maggie Kenny, Daughter, 7 born Mar 1893 New York
Rosa Brady, Housekeeper, Widow, Age 48, born Ireland, emigrated 1865

No luck in 1910 or afterwards I'm afraid.

Carol

Jacqui

So pleased we got the right person - it's always nice to be able to fill those gaps in our family trees.

Louella
