Striethorsts in Nanaimo and Vancouver
« on: Monday 19 July 10 03:41 BST (UK) »
Hi there,

My first cousin twice removed was a Raymond Conrad Striethorst born BC. His father was Henry/Harry Striethorst and his uncle was William Striethorst.

I'm currently researching the brothers William and Henry. I have located them on the 1901 Census here - http://automatedgenealogy.com/census/SurnameList.jsp?surname=striethorst&districtId=3&desc=Search+province+of+British+Columbia+in+the+1901+Census+of+Canada+records+for+surname&Go=Go

and also the marriages here - http://search.bcarchives.gov.bc.ca/sn-198EA00/query/Marriages/find-adv%2B%20surname%3D%28striethorst%29%20%2B%2B%2B%2B

Nellie Anderson who married Henry/Harry is my great grand aunt.

Now, according to the BCarchives marriage records, William Striethorst married Amy Dwyer in 1920.

I stumbled upon these records only today saying that he married Eliza Wilkinson.

Father William: http://www.geni.com/genealogy/people/William-Striethorst/6000000007540971280

Son Conrad (mother Eliza) http://www.geni.com/genealogy/people/Conrad-Striethorst/6000000007540954582

Mother Eliza (married James Johnson???) http://www.geni.com/genealogy/people/Eliza-Wilkinson/6000000007540934212



I'm not sure if anyone can clarify any of this. I'm sure I can rely on the BC Archives as being accurate, but I'm not sure about these other records (or maybe I'm just confused)

Many Thanks,

Nathan

Looking further into the census record, it looks like Emma Emerick married Harry Striethorst (and had Henry and William). She then re-married William Cocking and was living with the husband, 2 sons and her brother or cousin 21yo George Emerick?

Hello Nathan,

IMHO, you should be wary of postings by others on the internet and not take them as necessarily being accurate. I would expect that the BC Archives record is the correct one.

That said, there are very kind rootschatters  :)  based in BC who who do record lookups when they are able. It might be better to start a new thread with a request in the title eg., 'Striethorsts BC Marriage Lookup, Please' and put in the info you have from the index. Please be sure to make a link to this thread.

These marriage records should help to sort things out.

We search for information but it is up to the thread owner to verify that it is correct.

On your previous post re this family I gave you this link  http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#start
This gives more details on the various BC vital statistics entries and seems to be the source of some of the information you found on the family tree.  There doesn't seem to be a death for William's 1st wife Amy Dwyer or a marriage to his 2nd on the BC archives - perhaps that took place on a temporary move out of province.

Considering that William Striethorst married Amy Dwyer in Victoria BC Feb 7, 1920 and a newspaper announcement mentions that the young couple were moving to Nanaimo BC where they had a large circle of friends, I don't think William moved out of province.

Eliza Mary Wilkinson was born in Nanaimo and marries James Johnson July 22, 1931 in Nanaimo - I as a *spinster* -- don't think she moves out of province until after their marriage and dies in Claresholm, Willow Creek, Alberta in 1946.

William is with his mother and stepfather in the 1921 Census, in Nanaimo and listed as *married* but no sign of Amy. 

No marriage certificate is found in BC before 1941 and no death found :(

Because there are marriage records found for William and Amy Dwyer as well as Eliza and James Johnson, I have huge doubts that William Striethorst and Eliza Mary Wilkinson were ever legally married.

I add grave memorials for FindAGrave.com and have been working on the EMERICK - STRIETHORST and various other connections.

Interestingly I cannot find Amy Dwyer as described on the marriage: daughter of Walter John Dwyer and Ellen, aged 27 in 1920, born Devonshire, England.

I can find an Amy Round, born about the right time, daughter of Walter and Ellen, who was in Washington state by 1900:
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M9Y7-3SV

In 1909 an Amy Round married William M Dwyer in Pierce Co, Washington, and it appears they may be in British Columbia in 1911, but with two children who were born before 1909, "William" and "Dorothy".

There is also a marriage in California for a William Philip Dwyer son of "Jack Dwyer" and "Amy Round".

Thanks for what you found regarding Amy DWYER -- no wonder I couldn't locate her in Devon, England with parents with those names!

I sort of wondered why her marriage to William STRIETHORST wasn't in her parents' home in Victoria and now I understand why .... they may have still been in the USA.

Interestingly, she lists herself as a *spinster* at their 1920 marriage.

Sorry, I mucked up - they were in MA in 1900, father Walter died there in 1904, mother Ellen was possibly in WA in 1910, and in California in 1920 with two married daughters.

I think this is the son William who marries in California later - he's indexed as William R but looks like William P, listed as an adopted son of a Rebecka M Scheibley, both parents listed as b. England.
