Find Ancestors

Hi

Updated 7/9/07

American Census lookups offered from Ancestry, I have full Ancestry membership, so can also do 1841 - 1901 lookups and any other Ancestry database.

Give me as much information you have, e.g. name, when/where born, and where in America they were living. Or where living here if 1841 - 1901 needed, please state year etc.

I've got the next couple of weeks off work recovering from an operation, so willing to put the time to good use.

Best
Carol

Not asking for a lookup; just wishing you a speedy recovery.

Hi,
This might be a tricky one for you, i'm looking for Ernest Puddy b1871 in Wedmore,Somerset. He and his family went to America some time before 1890 then they returned home.
his family were
wife Alice b1870 Somerset
daughter Alice b1890 New York
Son William b1891 also New York.
we haven't been able to find a marriage record for Ernest and Alice (Fear-Hembury) so she may be down under her maiden name.
good luck
hope you recover quickly :-)

Hello, speedy recovery I hope you can help with the following, also can you find any immigration records too

Thomas Chivers born in 1865 in Pittston Pennsylvania, he married Amelia Tucker in 1888 Newport, Mon S Wales

His parents were
Caleb Chivers - born in 1842 Cork, Ireland
Mary Hughes - born in 1844 Bangor N Ireland
they married in Merthyr Tydfil Wales 1861

Apparently Caleb went to work on some building project over there and Thomas was born

Are you able to locate a birth certificate with this info

Regards

Margaret

Hi Wendy

Re Ernest Puddy - sorry can't find him on either 1900 or 1910 census, nor Alice or children Alice/Wiliam - it could be they've been mistranscribed.

Carol

Sorry Margaret, I don't have any access to birth certificates, but I can do the census lookups if that will help

Carol

Firstly hope you are better soon Carol and thank you for the kind offer.
I was just coming on to ask for anyones help and saw your offer.
Could you please find this family in 1910/20. New York.
Richard James born about 1874 with a wife Louise or Louisa son Oswald ( he was bon New York in 1900) think there is also a son Henry c 1910 and mother in law.
It is the MIL and address I really need. Not sure if she was on the 1910 or 20
I have Richard in 1900 different wife ( I am sure she has died) and he has remarried. Oswald not with them in 1920.
Thank you for your time

Oh Carol
I think I made a bloomer I think it is Oswald in 1920 that has his MIL with him.
Was hoping it was Louisa's mother then I could see if I could find their marriage.
Sorry!!
Oh I don't know if you have seen this site
Just for New York. Looks good.

Hi Margaret

Couldn't find them on the 1870 census in America, but do find them on the 1871 census back in Wales in Aberdare, Caleb is a 32 year old engine fitter born Ireland
Mary, 27 born Bangor
Marian, 9 born Aberdare
Thomas, 6 born America
John, 4 born Aberdare
Mary J, 1, born Aberdare
Living in Aberdare on the 1871 census, from the ages and birthplaces of the children, looks like Caleb and Mary were only in the states a short while.

Hello, I would be grateful if you could find Solomon & Roseannah Pearson. Solomon was born in Brierley Hill, England in 1862 and they emigrated to Stockdale Pennsylvania in the mid 1880's. Their first child. a daughter was born in England and married a chap named Roy S McKee in U.S.A. I think there were about four more children all born U.S.A I'm told Solomon drowned but I have no idea when or how.
Best wishes and thankyou very much
