Ivy Rosamund McConney
« on: Tuesday 21 February 17 18:36 GMT (UK) »
Hi

I am looking for the death of Ivy sometime between 1970-75, in the U.S.  Unfortunately, I don't know where she died but her last known address was 564 W 149th Street, New York in 1937.  Her maiden name was Noel, and she had been married firstly to James Phillips and after his death she married Joseph McConney on 26th June 1926 in New York.  She was born on 8th October 1889 at Hillswick Village, Barbados BWI.  Children were Rosamond, Noel, Kempson and Ruby.

Any information would be appreciated.

Many thanks.

Are her children all deceased?  If not, their names would need to be removed.

There appears to be an obituary for her in the Hartford Courant, but it is a pay-per-view article.  http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/courant/advancedsearch.html

Thanks to you both for this.

The two entries from jorose re: Family Search are slightly different in that one gives a middle initial of "N" when in fact her middle name was Rosamund.  However the other one is correct in the name and d.o.b. so I would think this is the right person. 

I don't know anything about her children, when or where they died. Unfortunately the family lost touch with each other so the surviving members have very little information to go on.

But you have helped to put a bit more into the jigsaw puzzle so I am very grateful.

Honeybun.

Here they are on the 1940 census - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KQ5N-XF7

Kempson on the Social Security Death Index - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JTYV-8M2

Possible SSDI entry for Noel - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JTYM-R2H  And burial - https://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=78496664

Ruby's married name is Stred per her Social Security application, which lists her parents as James Phillips & Ivy R. Noel.  Ruby was also listed as Ruby Brunhilda Greaves as of Apr. 1943, so looks like she married some time before then and married Mr. Stred by Apr 1964.  Here is the entry for her on the Connecticut death index - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:VZ5S-Q3R

This is Rosamond on the SSDI - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:V3T9-6JC  The Social Security application shows the right parents.  The Connecticut death index shows that she was widowed and died in Bloomfield, Connecticut, which was where she resided.

Rosamond's obituary - http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/hartfordcourant/obituary.aspx?n=rosamond-a-hunter&pid=16903221

This appears to be her in the 1940 census - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KQMV-X53

And this is her marriage record - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:24D2-TCQ

This is really great information.  Thank you.  I think the confusion over the middle initial is that Ivy's maiden name was Noel - hence the N, where I thought it should be R.

This has helped fill in a lot of long-lost information for the family.
