Looking for any information regarding Henrietta Salmon who emigratted from glasgow to america with her husband whose last name was riddell (i think). Her parent were Henrietta and Peter Salmon who lived in glasgow in the early 1920's/30's.
-
Any idea of a birth year for Henrietta ?
Sandra
-
as far as i know she was born in 1919 in the kelvin district of glasgow
-
I am also interested in the Salmon family. I think they are connected to my family tree. If I am right, then Henrietta's father, Peter salmon, was the son of Mary Jane Thompson and William Salmon of Glasgow. Would love confirmation of this!
-
If this is the same person she was born 15/3/1919 according to the army records for her father Peter Salmon of 15, Firhill Street Glasgow .....Peter married Henrietta McDonald 1913 Glasgowsister Mary born 30/5/1913 ,brother William 1916 ...father's occupation was gilder

Working with the birth date Rosie kindly gave above, couldn't see a death for a Henrietta Riddell on the SSDI. (Social Security Death Index)
That particular birth date gave these 2 names -
Henrietta Burriss 15 Mar 1919 who died 21 Aug 2011 Baltimore, Baltimore, Maryland
Henrietta Pechtold 15 Mar 1919 who died 3 Dec 2009 Lombard, Du Page, Illinois

Hi Niknak no parents mentioned on his army records only that this chap was born 1889 and was aged 28 ...You could try for a marriage for this couple and that will confirm the parents :) :) :)

Wm Salmon 35 Mary J Salmon 34

Suspect this could be a possible for Henrietta McDonald - 1901 at 18 Cross Street. Partick. Lanarkshire.
Malcolm Mcdonald 31 Head. Mary Ann Mcdonald 29
Charles Mcdonald 1 Helen Mcdonald 4
Henry Mcdonald 64 Grandfather
Jane Mcdonald 1 Month
Henrietta Mcdonald 9 Niece born Scotstown Renfrewshire.
Robert Dalsbril 30

Added Could be private anc tree on Henrietta. IF it is Henrietta Born 27 Feb 1892 - 9 Scotstown Place, Renfrew
Lived at 25 April 1913 at 818 New City Road (that's different to the army record address for 1913) and 17 June 1931 at St Mungo Place. The private tree entries refer to Peter Salmon at St Mungo Place 17 June 1931 ???

Henrietta Pechtold 15 Mar 1919 who died 3 Dec 2009 Lombard, Du Page, Illinois
I think we can rule out this one, as I found her mentioned in an obituary for her brother and his surname was Kreuger.

Hi I am tracing my family tree and came across your post - My great uncle Samuel John Johnston (Maternal Grandmothers brother) Was married to Mary Salmon. He was killed during WW2 1/5/44. I have attached their marriage lines to see if it is of any help. I would like to know if they had any children, my aunt thinks they may have had two but doesn't know their names. Mary may well have married again because she was a young widow.
-
Hi not been on for a long while. Just saw this post, Not sure where mary salmon fits in, she may have been Peter Snr's sister. The parents listed on the certificate are Peter (my dad) and Henrietta's (his sister) parents. George Riddel was Henrietta Jnrs husband. They married in 1935 and eventually moved to Canada as far as I know.
-
Also, don't know why she listed Peter as her father? and I have no idea who E. Salmon is. I thought with such an unusual name it would be a dawdle to trace ....
-
Howdy, this is what I have on this family: Mary Jane Thompson (sister of my great grandmother) married William Salmon & they had 4 children - Peter, Jessie, Jeanie & Mary. Peter Salmon married Henrietta McDonald & they had 3 children - Mary (married Sam Johnson), William (married Elizabeth Malloy) & Henrietta Jnr (married George Riddell.) I have no other info on Peters sisters Jessie, Jeanie or Mary - I think one of them was nicknamed Polly and she possibly married someone with the surname Ryan or Rynd. (I have a photo of a "polly ryan" that was in my great grans stuff)
So the E. Salmon who signed as a witness to the wedding of Mary & Sam above could have been Elizabeth wife of William Salmon perhaps?
Please can you all tell me exactly how you fit into this family so I can add you to my family tree?

I'm not sure actually , my dad was adopted by Peter Salmon and Henrietta. He was born on the 29/8/1916. Henrietta, (my grandmother) died from cancer in 1931 at 35 St Mungo Street Glasgow. Henrietta (my dads stepsister) was born in 1919. she later married a George Riddell and as far as I know emigrated to Canada. My dad never spoke about his family, so I am going on names my mum told me. He did mention spending much of his childhood in Paisley, but his adopted family originated from Maryhill in Glasgow. His birth mother was called Bridget Murphy and he was born in the Rottenrow maternity hospital and his mother had him christened. I have had no joy trying to trace Bridget.
-
William and Mary had another daughter called williamenia. They originally had 8 children but only 6 survived to adult hood. No idea who the other 2 were or when they died etc.
-
HI Mags,
Where did you get the info that Mary Jane and William Salmon had 8 children in total, 2 of whom died?
The only Williamina Salmon I can find on the internet was the daughter of James Salmon and Helen - this family also lived in Glasgow.
I wonder of one of their children was named Polly. Dont spoz you have that info?
CHeers,
Nicky

It was from the 1911 census. They were living at 38 Kelvinside in Glasgow.
-

Samuel Johnston who was married to Mary Salmon was my Grandmothers youngest brother, he was killed in India and a few years later mary was killed in a road accident. They had two children born around 1934 and 1935 I have been trying to find out what happened to them after they were orphaned. Maybe Henrietta or William adopted the or they stayed with the grandparents. My aunt seems to vaguely remember Henrietta emigrating to Canada but can't be sure.

My grandma and grandad (Henrietta and George Riddell) adopted a Sam and Molly after their parents died, their mother died in a car accident but not sure about the father. They had a son called George who died at 3 year old then had another son called Gordon (my dad) They lived in Port Glasgow then moved to Haddington East Lothian to be with their grandkids and family (me and my 2 brothers).

To Fionaward - I have quite a bit of information on Peter Salmons family if you would like it I can send it to you. I had started researching this family only to discover a few years down the line they were not my Salmons .... :o 8)
