Antrim Completed Look up Requests / Belfast marriage look-up please
« on: Tuesday 08 March 11 09:19 GMT (UK)  »
I am looking for the marriage of David Leo Collins to Hannah. It was roughly around 1902, give or take a few years. In the 1911 census in Ireland, he is shown as a plasterer and she was a weaver.
I've never posted a look-up here before so I hope I've done it right! Thank you!

Scotland / Blyth family
« on: Monday 15 February 10 15:57 GMT (UK)  »
I have hit a real brickwall with my research. I have a George Blyth in my tree who was born c.1815 in Scotland. He married Elizabeth Simmonds in 1848 Southampton. In the 1851 census he is a mariner, living in Southampton. I have a copy of his marriage certificate and his father was called David and he was a carpenter. So, where on earth do I go from here? I'd love to find out exactly where George came from. I have been told that the fact they have no 'e' on their surname is quite unusual.

If anyone has any helpful pointers I'd be very grateful. Thank you!

Europe / POLAND: Tracing a Polish immigrant
« on: Tuesday 29 May 07 18:52 BST (UK)  »
Hi everyone. My GGrandfather was called Mark Goldstein. He was born around 1870 in Lodz, Poland. He married my GGrandmother in 1904, just after the birth of my grandmother. My grandmother and her sister were left with guardians and Mark went off to New York in 1911. ( I have found his details on the Ellis Island website). Mark had a brother called Lewis Goldstein. I have found Lewis and his family in the 1891 and the 1901 census, living in Liverpool. Before that they lived in London. I cannot find any trace of Mark though. I'd be grateful for any help on how to find him either on these censuses. I would like to find details of his immigration, and I am presuming I'd need to go to Kew for that. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Estelle
