Is it possible to get information that might be on the marriage licence of John Griffiths to Kathleen Akerman in Cardiff in 1945?  A search on Ancestry gives me the registration page of their marriage but no further information.  They are listed in Vol 11a page 940.  I am hoping to find out John Griffiths' parents names and where he is from.  I have the Akerman/Ackerman info already.  I just can't seem to track down John's information.  He died in British Columbia, Canada in the 1980s.  I think he might have a brother, Delwynn or Dillwyn, that married Kathleen's sister.

I sure would appreciate any help.

US Lookup Requests / Port Angeles, Clallam, Washington Cemetary lookup please
« on: Monday 11 October 10 21:36 BST (UK)  »
Is there anyone in Port Angeles, Clallam, Washington willing to do a cemetary lookup for me?  I believe my uncle, Earl Phillip "Mageean" was born 19 Jan 1926 and he died 1927 (according to the Clallam County Heritage Society index) I think on 26 May and was buried in Port Angeles, Clallam, Washington.  His mother was Mary Cassidy and his father was Joseph St Jean using the alias name of John  Mageean while in the United States.  My parents went and visited the grave back in the 1950s and the grave was marked with a concrete marker.  My father is deceased and all my mother can remember is that they drove to the US and drove over a bridge to get to the cemetary to see the grave.

Earl Phillip, his sisters Gladys Ilene (1928-1928) and Betty (1933-1934) were all born in Port Angeles, Clallam, Washington and I believe were probably all buried in the same cemetary.  I did a map view of cemetaries and believe the cemetary may be Mount Angeles Cemetary on Monroe Road off of Highway 101. 

Any verification that they are in fact buried in this cemetary and any photos of the grave(s) would be much appreciated.

I would like to know if there is more information than what I have on the death of Joseph Gee b. 1773 died (according to BMD) JanFebMar 1851 Huddersfield. 

Is it possible to get a lookup in the actual volume and not just the index?  The volume is XXII and page 237.

I would like to know if there is more information in the actual volume, ie. wife's name, surviving children's name, exact town he died in, cause of death, etc.  I need more information to determine if this is "my" Joseph Gee.

Thanks...

Looking for Violet Prutton, believed to have died somewhere in Saskatchewan.

Violet Prutton, b. 1928-29 Lloydminster, AB    died: ? somewhere in Saskatchewan.

Violet's parents were Jim Prutton (1885-1977) and Roseann Oliver Prutton (1892-1966).  Violet has two living siblings,  brothers that remember her as an abused young girl that was taken away from the family and ordered into care by a Lloydminster judge in 1944-45.  One  brother was contacted by a care home in Moose Jaw requesting "a walker" for Violet which he sent back in the late 1940s.  The address and other information is long lost.  The same brother, now in his mid 80s, remembers Violet as a mentally handicapped young girl that his Dad always slapped around her head.  Her other brother seems to think that the Judge found someone from Battleford to come get Violet and she was taken off to work on their farm.  Her now deceased sister, Annie, had contact with Violet for several years and then all contact was lost.

Is there anyone out there that has any informaton about Violet Prutton or when she died?  I have been unable to find her anywhere in Saskatchewan.  Does anyone know of any sites that might hold archived court records in Lloydminster in the 1940s?

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Help please - Marriage date for Ben Gee and Sarah Ellen Shaw
« on: Sunday 05 September 10 07:24 BST (UK)  »
Does anyone have Ben Gee (b.  25 Aug 1863 Scammonden, Huddersfield, Yorkshire  d. 22 Apr 1902) and Sarah Ellen Shaw (b. about 1863 Stainland, Yorkshire  d. 24 Jun 1925 England ) in their ancestral tree?

I am looking for their marriage and place information.  I believe they may have been in Stainland Cum Old Lindley, Yorkshire in 1881 and possibly married there.

I believe Ben's parents were Levi Gee 1836-1892 and Charlotte Helliwell 1836-1884.
And Sarah Ellen Shaw's parents were William Shaw b. 1820 and Mary A. Furness b. 1825.

I have not yet found any documentation on either Ben or Sarah's parents.  Can anyone confirm this information?


Any help would be appreciated.

Fife / Easton/Balfour family from Kirkcaldy 1760-1800s
« on: Friday 03 September 10 03:13 BST (UK)  »
Looking for anyone that might have the following in their lines:

Alexander Eason/Easton  b. circa 1760
  married to
     Nellie (Helen?) Balfour/Balflower   b. circa 1760

child:  James Eason/Easton   b. 12 Nov 1781 Abbotshall, Kirkcaldy, Fife
                                                   d.  prior to 1852

I think Nellie (Helen?) might be Helen Balfour b. 30 Jan 1774 Markinch, Fife to John Balfour and Jean Wilson but have so far been unable to document.


My Easton line continues from James Eason/Easton for 4 generations in the Abbotshall, Dysart, Burntisland, and Dunfermline areas before spreading out and some immigrating to America.

I live in Canada and would appreciate any help from anyone able to provide that has access to records in Scotland.

Donegal / Lookup - Conwal - 1 Presbyterian Church
« on: Saturday 08 May 10 20:11 BST (UK)  »
Can someone do a lookup for me please?

The 1 Presbyterian Church is, I believe,  in Letterkenny, Conwal Parish, Barony of Kilmacrennan, Donegal.

Looking for children born to John Cassidy and Mary (sometimes called May) Kerr and John Cassidy's parents names. 

Also any information on marriage and children of Samuel Cassidy bapt.  14 Mar 1844 at 3 Presbyterian Church, Letterkenny, Conwal Parish, Barony of Kilmacrennan, Donegal (parents: William Cassidy and Elizabeth ?)

What I know:

John Cassidy married Mary Kerr (daugther of Hugh Kerr b.  23 Dec 1868 Killyclug)) on 8 Jan 1857 at the 1 Presbyterian Church.  The officiating minister was Rev. John Kinnear.   

1901 Census shows this family as:

John Cassidy          head  b. Donegal age 64 Presb. Farmer  (b. 1837)
Mary Cassidy          wife   b. Donegal age 63 Presb.              (b. 1838)
Alexander Cassidy son    b. Donegal  age 24                         (b. 1877)
Sarah J. Cassidy     dau   b. Donegal  age 20                         (b. 1881)

I also have sons of William Cassidy m. Elizabeth ? -  John Alexander (m. Mary Tease) and David (m Martha Harris) showing on 1901 Census for Glencar, Irish, Conwal with their families.

I also know that John Cassidy, Samuel Cassidy and William Cassidy were rentors of land from Charles Faussett in Glencar Irish, Parish of Conwal, Letterkenny, Kilmacrennan.  John rented 7 acres, Samuel rented 84 acres and William rented 7 acres, all had houses on them and I believe the parcels were side by side.

I am trying to determine  if Samuel ( son of William and Elizabeth) or John and Mary (Kerr) are my great great grandparents. 

My great grandfather, Samuel Cassidy b. 1859/60 was born in Letterkenny, Conwal Parish, Donegal and immigrated to Canada where he married in 1889 Ontario and had a huge family.  His first born son named John and his first born daughter named Mary Jane (called May).

I know the Census until 1901 were destroyed so the only information I know of would be from the Churches.  I have been unable to find the 1 Presbyterian Church or the 3 Presbyterian Church online.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
