United States of America / Re: ONONDAGA, NY - Catherine Robinson (1822-1907)

Thank you, both good suggestions.

I haven’t found a will, but that could definitely open things up. For some reason - maybe because the name is so common - it’s hard to narrow down anything for Charles Robinson.

England / Re: James Steele (1827-1897) + Mary Young (1827-1899)

I have a lead on this!

I came across a random website with a variant obituary for James Steele, and it indicates that he emigrated from Berwick-on-Tweed. That explains all the English/Scottish confusion! Right on the border, the northernmost part of England.

I’m going to pursue this thread, but if anyone has recommendations (or thoughts on the COE vs Presb question) please reply.

I just spent awhile going through old newspapers and more conflicting information that suggests Scottish or English origin for this family.

Anyone with experience in Ontario UK immigrants have advice on why there would be this ping-pong of listing different origins? Could it have to do with bringing two families together? Because eventually my Steele ancestor (whose parents may have been Church of England) married into a staunchly Presbyterian family.

Any new users have ideas here? None of my searching has yielded results, this is one of my longest-standing brick walls.

Europe / Re: BAVARIA: John Joseph Hipelius b. 1811 Sulzdorf

According to census and birth records, this Carl's (b. 1826) wife was Barbara Rink.
Frederick's wife was Johanna Heinz.
Balthasar's wife was Margaret Deppisch (married in Wüzburg in 1864).
They were all married before emigrating.

Carl Hipelius von Bayerd, who married Aloisia Saettele, was born in Aug 1791 in Nordheim (most likely Nordheim am Main, where there are other documented Hipelius individuals). His parents were Joseph Hipelius von Bayerd Hipelius and Rosalie Abt. It's possible he could be an uncle or cousin of Joseph Hipelius (b.1811 in Stadlauringen, parents Felix Hipelius and Barbara Göpfert).

Interesting to note the "von Bayerd".  I've tried to look into it, and some sites indicate this connects the family to Germany nobility. I haven't been able to find the link between this branch and the other Hipelius individuals I've been tracking (a separate task - or maybe not? - from linking all the Hipelius emigrants to the USA).

Aliosia's (b. 1801) parents were, according to the birth and marriage records, Konrad Seattle and Theresia Sorg.

Curious if anyone with familiarity in upstate/NW NY records has advice on how to proceed here - is it possible that Onondaga County may have something? Again, since the McHuron's were pioneers in the area, there is a significant amount written about them. The McHuron + Robinson marriage was in 1845, so it's not inconceivable that a marriage record exists, right?

Following up here that I haven't been able to find any more leads, but I was able to get another death certificate - for my 2nd great grandmother Jessie Steele Main. More conflicting information - lists here parents as Scottish.

Any suggestions on ways to proceed would be greatly appreciated!

I wanted to report back on this thread, that I've made some significant progress on Johan Joseph Hipelius's branch thanks to the leads from Peonie and davecapps.  So thank you again!

Before closing out the thread, I wanted to see if anyone might be able to help with a piece of the story I'm still missing: as I said in my first post, Joseph (b. 1811) emigrated to the USA around the same time as a few other younger Hipelius men (Jul 1850). These are, I believe, the ancestors of any Hipelius family members in the USA.

I've been unable so far (might take a trip to Germany) to determine how/if all these immigrants are related. I'm hoping to determine their immediate parentage, at least, so I can make the links to Joseph's branch.

Frederick Hipelius (b. 26 Feb 1822), arrived in Jul 1850
Carl/Charles Hipelius (b. 1836), arrived in 1853
Balthasar Hipelius (b. Jul 1832), arrived in 1886

A couple of additions to the conversation - the death records for a few of James and Mary's children show the following inconsistent information:

Mary Steele Mills (1857-1925)
Father - James Steele. b. England
Mother - unknown b. Scotland

James Steele (1864-1930)
Father - James Steele b. Scotland
Mother - unknown b. Scotland

Elizabeth (Lizzie) Steele Jackson (1864-1936)
Father - James Steele b. England
Mother - Mary Grey b. England

And I think I left James + Mary's gravestone off the repost, but that clearly lists her name as Young.  Two of their granddaughters--Jessie Young Macdonald and Isabella Young Main--also appear to have received her maiden name for middle names.
