Canada Lookup Request / Keogh

« on: Thursday 06 June 13 05:49 BST (UK) »

Looking for information about Paul Haydn Keogh born 1883 in Liverpool England.
I have Ancestry but would need someone with world membership to access his Canadian records.
I know he was a member of the Canadian military in WW1.
I think he emigrated arriving in either Halifax, Nova Scotia or St John, New Brunswick around 1913 but not sure of that date.
I have no idea whether he married or when or where he died.
Any information would be gratefully received.

Regards
Olly

Cheshire / Brocklehurst

« on: Monday 27 August 12 07:53 BST (UK) »

Hi,
Not sure if this should be here or Lancs as it covers both counties.
Looking for info on Mary Elizabeth Brocklehurst.
Here's what I have:

Born 1872 Dutton, Runcorn
1897 Birth of daughter Eva, registered in Northwich
1901 census - living in the home of Moses Lowe in Liverpool with her 4 year old daughter Eva, down as visitors.
1905 Horwich, Bolton - marriage to Moses Lowe. Mary shown as spinster - no father.
1911 Census - living in Liverpool with Moses. Daughter Eva now has the name Lowe.
This census also shows that Mary had 2 children, both living.

What I am looking for -
Where was Mary Elizabeth Brocklehurst in 1881 and 1891.
Who was her other child and where were they in 1901 and 1911.

I doubt that the other child was Moses Lowe's.
I have searched and searched and hope fresh eyes might help.

The only other info I have found that might be relevant is an Emily Brocklehurst born
in 1877 Dutton, Runcorn. She is on 1881 census as adopted and living with a George
and Elizabeth Haddock, in Barnton, Northwich.

Hope someone can help.

Lancashire / gerken - liverpool

« on: Wednesday 05 August 09 22:28 BST (UK) »

Hi
Trying to find some info about 2 women who reported the death of my grandfather Thomas Keogh Draper in 1924.

The 2 were Evelyn Beatrice Gerken and Harriet Hughes.
On the certificate it says that death was reported by E B Draper widow, then in the margin it says that this is to be replaced by Evelyn Beatrice Gerken who is not the widow, and Harriet Hughes.
The address is 10 Warburton Street Liverpool and I believe that this was the residence of Evelyn Gerken.
I can't find any references to either of these women anywhere, bmds etc.

Apparently my grandparents were not together from about 1905.
The name Beatrice crops up again in my research in 1911 as a possible second marriage for T K Draper. Is she E B Draper? I'm confused!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who are these women? Do they have any relevance and is there any connection to my family?
Please can anyone help?

Lincolnshire Lookup Requests / harriet booth wright

« on: Friday 05 December 08 19:09 GMT (UK) »

Hi

Hope someone can help.
I'm looking for the parents/siblings of Harriet Booth Wright.
The only info I have is that she was born about 1792 - not sure where.
She married George Bulmer 1814 in Wainfleet, Lincs.
They had 6 children all born in Wainfleet or Croft between 1818 and 1828.

I have tried LDS/IGI. I have also tried various marriages on these sites between Booth and Wright but have not come up with anything.

Maybe a fresh pair of eyes might spot something I've missed.
Here's hoping!
