King–Sporck—A pretty wedding took place Sunday afternoon at 3:30 in the Patchogue Methodist church, when Miss Marian Sporck, daughter of Mrs. Katherine Sporck of Medford, became the bride of Pvt. Albert Norman King, son of Mr. and Mrs. Norman King of Wood avenue, Patchogue. The ceremony was performed by the pastor, the Rev. Harry S. Crossett, in the presence of a large number of relatives and friends.  The bride, who was given in marriage by her brother, Howard Sporck of Medford, wore a satin gown. . . . Orville King of Blue Point was his brother’s best man. John Sporck of Medford, brother of the bride, and Eugene Satterley of Patchogue, uncle of the bridegroom, were ushers. . . . The bride, who is employed in the office of the Patchogue-Plymouth Mills, will reside with her mother, while Private King is stationed at Lockbourne  Air Base, Columbus, Ohio.

I thank you for the information and I take this opportunity to apologise  to the site convenor for the possible duplication. ( excitement at doing a new post makes me forget that I may have already done so). So to clarify the situation - if I find I need to do a post on any new discoveries in my USA branch  do I just tag a new message onto existing post?

Regards

M King

Hi there everyone. Back doing some family research and I'm faced with several problems which I hope to post here over the next few weeks. 1st one: working remotely how does one confirm if the direction going is the right way? For example, using a well known site I've located a Harold King ( 1935 - 2004) On the available census forms he is listed as Harold. However, on certain links, where a large % of other info is correct, there are anomalies. Some say he is Harold, Harold D or Harold M ( the latter is more likely as M (Morgan) but D??), yet the "D" has more info than the "M". Then some say his Mother is Mary Lewis and some say Mary Harris. Some indicate he was married and with children but marked private others there is nothing. Naturally I have to filter info using known family facts but when 263,000 names are listed it's really a daunting task. Any advice?

Was this information about the right Harold?  http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=754858.msg6044965#msg6044965

The info I have on file is for the right Harold. Let me try and explain further the frustration. Records I've had for a number of years have been confirmed on the 1940 census and on it he is listed as Harold ( no middle name- just like his father). However, I know his father is Harold M King. Where the problem arises is in a bid to update records with any new info gleaned from the family search provider. Hints on my tree have appeared and along with new searches a Harold D has appeared. This Harold seems to have the same birthdate and parents with the following exceptions :- My records show the mother as Mary Lewis this new info shows it as Mary Harris. I've also found a lot of other new info which is interesting but I have doubts about Harold D being my relative and before proceeding I would love to know how to make sure.

[Jardiner]

Sorry about this but what I also meant to mention was that on two replies on this forum (02/09/2016) Harold D is mentioned but one said his mother was Mary Harris and an obituary notice below it states it Mary Lewis.
Again I need to confirm that this Harold is my Harold and alas no site as yet has given me the proof of birth of a Harold D to Harold M and Mary ( I've got Harold born to Harold and Mary)

Can only give you what the records are showing. These two records are for the same person.

Is there any source given for Mary's surname being Lewis?

The Nassau/Suffolk marriage index at www.italiangen.org has Harold King marrying Mary Harris on 13 Sep. 1922 in Suffolk Co.
