Irene had no direct descendants - she never married. George H and Stanley had children but I don't know names yet - family history has them living in California, as yet unproved.
I didn't know about Nora so cannot say whether she moved to Basingstoke - certainly don't know of any family living there, but wasn't until I started my research that I discovered George Snr and family living in Hampshire.
Cannot find death reference for George Snr either - again, family history has them emigrating but cannot find this at the moment.

alison do you think nora and harold may have moved or lived in basingstoke not so far from my home where i found the postcards. d you know of relatives born there.
steevie will prob come up trumps this guy knows more than i will ever know. some people just have the knack. i wanted to send info to Southampton Evening Echo at some point but early yet as family need to be found in basingstoke area. Nora and harold may have taken family to usa given familys sucsess there.
brian.
lets try and contact direct dec of Irene, George Herbert and Stanley in the usa
brian

we seem to be getting nearer to nora curtis hopefully some one will be able to add to this re her direct dec with i think harold smith there must be some one out there who can help. ive tried possibs in basing with know luck yet but time will help us here. and some good work in background.
alison may need to ask about nora good luck all hope to add you too info given so freely at the cost of spending time on your own tree's. I guess i'm included.

George Curtis was my 2x great uncle. He was married twice - first time to Mary Frances Brown, 2 children Frances Irene (Reenie) and George Herbert; second time to Caroline Gertrude M Greenwood, 3 children Stanley, Doris and now Nora.
Irene, George Herbert and Stanley all emigrated to Pennsylvania, USA. Doris died in early infancy.
George Snr's youngest sister was my great grandmother - Ellen.
I have had contact with Brian Cove and given him all this information - Clements not Clement is my family tree - Alison on here and ali on ancestry.
I did not have any further info on George and his family as I have not yet subscribed to the 1911 census.
Nora has a cousin still living - my great uncle, my dad and his 3 brothers are also still living, as are many other cousins all directly linked to the Curtis line.
I have looked for further information on Nora and Harold C Smith without any success as yet.

To keep the information found together. Here's the info I today

1901 Census

Name: George Curtis
Age: 38
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1863

Gender: Male
Where born: Cosford, Warwickshire, England

So we've now found Herbert + 2 unknown sisters
Also this where the connection with the Royal Victoria Hospital comes in.
Also in the 1911 census, it says he & Gertrude where married for 11yrs. (Needs to be verified). If so then he was previously married...another mystery Mr Watson

Steve

in genes reunited click on the button that says Search Trees

enter the details about George Curtis and it should find the 2 trees that I referred to

you can then click on "find out more" and send a message to the tree owner.

for the one on ancestry
copy and paste the link I gave onto your internet browser and hopefully the tree will come up and you can click on the tree owners name and contatc them. If you ahve problems with that then let me know.

how can i do that sorry a bit new to this
brian

Yes the Clement family tree has Nora's parent's on but Nora left off probably as was born after the 1901 census and maybe the tree owner did not know about her.

The Clements in the tree all seem to come from Leicester

It would be worth contacting the tree owner ali and also the 2 on GR.

victoria are you saying that nora maybe connected to clement tree
funny thing is my nan was clement and also lived in same area
am i going to find that these postcards may well connect to my family?

there are 2 trees on GR with George Curtis

George 1863 Cosford, Warwickshire, England tree owner
