Wiltshire / Re: A 1922 Swindon Problem
« on: Wednesday 16 June 10 14:16 BST (UK)  »
Hi Toby

Yes John was John Black, born Paisley Scotland and went out in 1912.  He married Ada about 1920. On the 1930 census for Queens District of New York, it gave that she was 35 years old when she married - she was given (on census returns) as being 46 on her next birthday. It also gives that she came to America in 1911. 

would just like to know more about her.

thanks

Wiltshire / A 1922 Swindon Problem
« on: Tuesday 15 June 10 22:54 BST (UK)  »
I have a Grand Uncle who went to US and married an Ada Emily ?  (born about 1884)

From Census records and ships records Ada was given as being from Swindon. 

The only address I have is in the Ships Records when Ada and John Black sailed from New York to
London in 1922 and gave their address as 120 Morrison St, Swindon.

Can anyone help me with a surname for the family, living there at that time, 1922? 

Any snippet would be of help.

thanks

Hi
With regards your request to find this house.  Sandy Road has both council and private houses. 

The house your requested information on,  is listed in the Paisley & District Street Directory for 1927 as being occupied by a Mr James Burton, a  tobacco pipe maker  He was listed as living there in 1915 too. 

The house, if the numbering of the street is the same, is still there.

I thought it was only me that felt like that.  I contactedthe GR site - no luck there, did not renew membership!  The gentleman who took ALL my tree only connected loosely throught maternal side 4 generations back. I was told we are all related!!! 

I was invited by another person to see their tree on Ancestry.com and guess what.....he was there too!
