SpanishEyes Report 9 May 2011 16:30

Please can someone help me to find out more about this person. On the 1901 census he is shown as the brother of Mary Avery who lived in North Road Mere wiltshire. He is an naturalised American and had lived in Paola Alto, Jasper, Iowa America
Wife Mary name unknown born in Ireland.

This info was passed to me some time ago and I cannoot recall who it was. I have checked the census though as I am a descendent of Joshua Jukes family who is in the same house on the Census

I am going away on Wednesday for aboout 8 days. I will bbe able at times to have a peek on a computer,
Thank you

Bridget

Maddie and safc

I do not know what I have been doing that is wrong but thank you so much for your help. Yes this is the same person and now I can add something to him. Is there anyway I can find out when he went to the USA,

Jukes is the family I am connected to through my grandfather.

Thank you for this, I now have to work out who Joshua Cowley married. Joshua is very interesting as his father gave all the girls the surname Jukes but added the seconde surname Cowley to his sons!!!! I am a direct descendent of this family.

Oh dear I have to get this on my tree quickly as we go back to the UK for 8 days on Wednesday morning.....I still have the packing to do.
You are all wonderful how can I thank you

Thank you all for the time and effortnyou have so kindly given over the last few days.
You have confirmed the Jukes family for me with a little more clarity than I have, (must have an eye test soon) I am a direct descendent of the Jukes family, and also the info re Avery has been most welcome.

I will be taking my iPad with me tomorrow when we set off for the UK, back to Spain in about 8 days.

Take care of yourselves
