Somerset / Re: Trying to find surname for my Ann
« on: Thursday 30 July 09 15:03 BST (UK)  »
Hi Gill
Yes that's my family line, Isaac married another Ann after he lost the first 1 & that's Ann Musgrove! It would be so nice to be able to give his first Ann a surname rather than a ? I don't know whether the marriage records for West Harptree for that period were lost or damaged, I've got a horrible feeling they were!
Thanks for your replies
Best wishes

Somerset / Trying to find surname for my Ann
« on: Tuesday 28 July 09 21:48 BST (UK)  »
Hello,
Could any one help me find out the surname of my ancestor, she married Isaac Dix, I believe in West Harptree about 1815. All the couple's children were born there, but their christening records do not give her surname. I have tried searching Parish Records on line but have not been able to find a marriage. Unfortunately Ann died in 1850 so no info on where she was from could be gleaned from the 1851 Census!
Grateful for any help
many thanks

United States of America / Re: Marriage and death in Montana
« on: Monday 13 October 08 11:54 BST (UK)  »
Hi again Lissa
Thanks for all your suggestions. I tried looking in the 1890 US Census but unfortunately the records for Montana were destroyed by fire! After Clara Jane's death in 1898, her husband remarried and the children from the first marriage did not like the new wife and left home apparently, the youngest child was 11 at the time!
I think Clara must have known her husband to be before she left UK, I can't see his name on the passenger list for the same ship but will look for him on an earlier one as you suggested. Would it be very difficult for me to find Clara Jane's death cert & order a copy?
Many thanks again

Hi ALL
Many thanks for all replies

Lissa - yes it's Clara Jane Dix b 1863 Somerset UK.
She is supposed to have married a chap called Edward William Thomas 16th Dec 1888, White Sulphur Springs Montana. I did look at a map and wondered how on earth she would make it from New York in 8 days, it all sounds a bit odd to me so I'm trying to check it out for myself. I'm also trying to find records of births of 3 children born to this couple:
Edward William Thomas who I think she must have been pregnant with on the journey and born soon after the marriage
David John Thomas, apparently Sept 1889
Ethel Jane Thomas August 1893

Finally, Clara Jane Thomas (nee Dix) apparently died in Montana in 1898.
If anyone can shed any light on any of this I'd be very grateful!

United States of America / Marriage and death in Montana
« on: Wednesday 08 October 08 19:47 BST (UK)  »
Hello
I am trying to clarify some information about a relative who emigrated to USA from UK in 1888. I have documentation of her arrival at New York 8th Dec 1888 aboard the ship 'Adriatic' from Liverpool UK. She then apparently travelled to White Sulphur Springs Montana and got married there on 16th December 1888. Would it have been feasible to get thru customs etc at Ellis Island, New York and then get across to Montana in 8 days??
Can anyone tell me if it is possible for me to look up whether this marriage did take place and if so obtain a copy of the cert? Also is it possible to look up same person's apparent death in Montana 10 yrs later?
Would be grateful for any advice.
Many thanks
Mrs F

Hi Geoff
Many thanks for your reply, the info I have on Clara came from the Passenger List for the ship Adriatic in 1888. It only gave her name & age and Port of Arrival, New York. I realise I'm trying to find a needle in a haystack!
Best wishes
