Hi Tracy

I really do not know, wish I did. I am pretty sure that Emma died between 1889 and 1899. I have so little to go on.

It is possible that the Emma on the 1860 census is the right one as the age sounds about right.. Maybe if I could find a marraige certificate things would become clearer-that is assuming that Thomas and Emma were married.

I really appreciate your efforts.

Joy

Here's 1870..

You don't have any idea when Thomas imigrated to US?

If not, I'll try immigration with his birth year place of birth and see what comes up

Hi Rachel,

He's proving thard to find, depite a Welsh name like that.

This all I came across..

Washington Births, 1907-1919

Name Birth Date Gender Birth Location Father's name Mother's name

Paul Llewellyn 15 Feb 1906 Male Pierce Gwillyn Llewellyn Agnes Clark

Not sure if that's yours or you know about this? Someone or you submitted the tree

Family Tree

Gwilym Llewellyn
Birth: 1883 - Pennsylvania
Spouse: Rosie Peek

Parents was William and Catherine. But it states that Rosie and Gwilym had a daughter born 1908 remembering that you said that Gwilym didnt go back to US abt 1905 or so.

Sorry for not being able to help.

Hi Joy,

Had a look in NJ marriages for 1864-1895 they dont cover ESSEX or HUDSON.. No wonder why I couldn't spot their marriage :(

Tracy,
Thanks for checking passenger lists.
WILLIAM GORRELL born 1787
ELIZABETH 1789.

Hi Tracy,

I am looking for a marriage of Alexander CHIVAS and Margaret DONALDSON both born in Scotland. Their families had immigrated to London Ontario, but I am not sure if that is where they married. I am pretty sure that it was 1912c as their first child was born in Canada in 1914, and US 1920 census shows she was 18 years old when she married (her birth year 1894, confirming 1912 marriage date).

Many thanks for your kind offer

Stephen,

Any idea where they might've gone to? US or Canada?

T

Hi
You have been really helpful. Do you know where I could find details of Hudson or Essex marraiges.

Joy

Hi Helen,

So many on Alexander (no idea what his birth year) on passengers list and other things, but no marriage for him in Ontario.

Did he go to Michigan, Detroit?

If so.. Tried marriage there but this what Ancestry have

Michigan Marriages to 1850
Michigan Marriages, 1851-75

None later, sadly.

Hi Joy,

Sorry - I've no idea.. All I know is this link

Sorry,

T

Thanks Traci I will try there
Joy

Hi Traci I have had a look at the link you suggested. I may have a chance there. I will also ask if any GR member can do a look up in Hudson, Essex area.

Thanks again for your help
Joy

OK Joy - good luck :)

Hi
Tracy, Can I please ask for your help again. My gr uncle Thomson Mason (middle name possibly Lawrie) sailed from Liverpool to Quebec age 16 on 3rd May 1929, he was 16 years old, on the Letitia. Parents Thomson Lawrie Mason and Agnes Canning. He died a number of years ago in Canada. I do not know where he lived, but wondered as his name is unusual if you could find a marriage for him. Any info would be great. I know his children etc remain in Canada and I would like to contact them.

Thank you
Joy

Tracey

I do hope you can help me

I saw on Ancestry Canada, on the Canadian Immigrant Record, a Edith Robinson. I cannot read the year (being in UK) and then Source/event.
Can you help please?

Then I saw under Canada Births
Theodore Allen Robinson
then cannot read
date gender Kent name (surname) and name (surname) The 'Kent' should be UK
A rough guess he was born 1900 +10/15 years!
Thats all the info I wrote down, when I saw it - do hope you can help

Can you see Border Crossings as well?
I saw a Louisa A. Young, Buffalo, NY, USA
Thats a bit vague, but perhaps you can find it.

Many, many thanks
Jo

Hi Tracy,

Thanks anyway for trying to find Alexander Chivas & Margaret Donaldson marriage. Yes they did go to Michigan Detroit. I have everything on them but their actual marriage place & date.

I appreciate your help

Helen
