Hello Carol

I am looking for details in 1890 or 1900 census (possibly Philadelphia )

Lionel Fremantle c1870 England?
Constance Dagmar Fremantle 1869 Wymondham,Norfolk

Edgar Lionel Fremantle 1891
Clifford Fremantle 1893
Ethel Fremantle 1895
Elsie Victoria Fremantle 1896

Constance I believe went in late 1880s and returned home a widow at beginning of 1901


Regards

Hi Joy

Re Lavinia Hyatt, sorry no luck, if she was born in 1889, then she may have been recorded on the 1890 American census, unfortunately, that is the census that was mostly lost in a fire in 1925, and there are no Hyatt/Highet/Hyetts in the fragments that do survive.

Sorry I can not help regarding birth deatils as Ancestry has no such records.

Hi Jo

Sorry not the right John Nellis, but the one I found for you is the only one that comes up born in the right period in Michigan, there are two other John Nellis' born Michigan, but one was 1841 and the other 1867.

The only John E Nellis I could find in 1910 was born in Nebraska born about 1909, living with his parents Hiram S and Ida E - still on the 1920 census in Nebraska, but not on the 1930. Sorry

Re Dorothy, yes the D Fern entry was D Fern Boardman.

Sorry, Ancestry has no information about births etcs, only censuses and some immigration and military records.

Best

Hi Carol,
Thanks for offering your help.This is a longshot,I'm afraid.My ancestor in Scotland wrote in his will in 1873 that his daughter Ann Cumming,born 1832 in Moray,Scotland was married to a Mr. Tupton in the US.I searched the IGI but could not find any Tuptons.However I found one possibility-a William Tipton married an Ann Cummings in Franklin,Ohio in 1859.Could you kindly check the1870 Ohio census please to see if they turn up.
Best wishes,
Joan

Hope you get well soon.

Could you please see if you can find any information on Thomas Highet/Hyatt/Hyett and Emma Ball, they had a daughter Lavinia Highet/Lovinia. Acording to Latter Day Saints records Lavinia was born in Harrison Hudson New Jersey in 1889. I know that by 1900 Thomas was back in Scotland, and Lavinia was in Scotland in 1901 aged 11. No sign of Emma in Scotland. I think she either died in New Jersey, or maybe they never married, although on Thomas's death cert in 1901 Emma is named as his widow along with another who was only married to him for 1 year.

It would be great to find out more about Emma

Apparantly Lavinia, my gr gr gr grandmother did not have a birth certificate.
Thank you
Joy

Hello Carol

Many thanks for looking up my 3 families.

I don't think you have found the right Nellis family
Was looking for John EDWARD Nellis b 1907, Grand Rapids, Michigan. The censuses you found were for John J. Nellis.
I know he married Cissie Ivy Tassell, but in 1930 she was with her family! as you found for me, thank you very much.

Any chance of finding Michigan marriages in Grand Rapids? Looking for the above people John Edward Nellis and Cissie Tassell married after 1930.

Dorothy Boardman was interesting. However on the 1930 census for D. Fern Boardman in Grand Rapids, does it give her surname (Boardman) you probably just missed it off your reply.

Does your sub get you into everything in USA and Canada i.e. Michigan Deaths, B. Columbia Deaths, Canadian Immigrant Record, etc etc.

I have a list of about 10 look ups I would like on various sites I have found, but cannot see the info, as I only have UK Ancestry.

Thank you very much indeed for looking up the above censuses. Much appreciated.

Regards
Jo

Hi Carol,
Thanks for the reply.
At this stage with just starting looking at the USA, any info on any Sousby would be great. I can then start sifting through them. I am mainly interested in the ones who came from the North East ( Co. Durham)
I know there is a Soulsbyville in California and I e-mailed the County Supervisor there about 2 years ago. He answered me, but you could tell there was little interest.
If there is any particular ones, though I am not sure if they went to USA or not, it would be my bith Mother and her two Children. Her name was Lillian Powell ( Nee Soulsby) born 1925 at Tudhoe Co. Durham. Her son Durance Powell born about 1952 and her daughter Alana Powell born about 1954. They would have been born in Co. Durham UK.
I have been looking for them for about 3 years now, and many adverts i n the North East Papers and various searches have not produced any results.
I now think they may have emmigrated but to where is a differant matter. The last I heard of them was some 42 years ago.
I live in Cape Town South Africa so it is not so easy to "pop' into records offices.
If you can help it would be great.
Best regards
Barry

Hi there,
I have a mystery person I am trying to locate the birth of. His name is William Ernest CURLE. . He married Sylvia Enid Gallagher in 1929, So I am assuming he would have been born anywhere between 1890 and 1912. His wife was born 1910 in Sydney NSW Australia and he also married and died there too, But I am trying to find a birth. for William.
He was not born in NSW Australia. I am hoping he was born in US/Canada . As My father in Laws birth father was a French/Canadian Sailor...hoping for the match...
Thanking you in advance., Sorry it is all the info I have
Katie,
