Westmorland / Re: GREENWOODs in Westmoreland
« on: Tuesday 18 November 08 21:57 GMT (UK)  »
Hi folks,

I'm still here and hunting the Greenwoods down!  ;D

I believe I have a copy of the tree you mention, it appears in the back of John Eric Greenwood's book?

Please do get in touch, either via a message on here or via email to 'john(at)devsys,co,uk' - I'm sure you can see what this address is, but I need to try and keep the spammers away  :P

Chat soon.

US Lookup Requests / Re: 1876 Sctoland - 1880 Pittsburgh ?
« on: Sunday 22 July 07 09:23 BST (UK)  »
Hi Sylvia,

Thanks for that link - I've found a number of potential George WALKERs in their early 20's. I'm assuming he travelled over early to find work/accommodation and the wife and kids came over later. That's why I've concentrated on trying to find Annie, Susan and possibly Alexander travelling together.

On the 1880 census they have a servant called Maggie McCullough - which I believe may be Annie's younger sister? In which case my guess of the State of Georgia sounds more likely?

Apart from the Passenger Lists, what else could help me trace this family. I'm thinking Passport Application on this side of the trip and maybe US Citevenship on the other end? These are guesses from someone who's never looked at emigration records before.

Chat soon.

Armed Forces / Re: can anyone identify this uniform please?
« on: Friday 20 July 07 17:13 BST (UK)  »
Hiya,

Not a clue on the uniform, but the base of the tree, the base of the wall and the toe of his boots seems to suggest snow?

Chat soon.

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: BOEG - Adams Place, Southwark
« on: Friday 20 July 07 17:02 BST (UK)  »
Hi Jorose,

Sorry I should have mentioned that I've got that Will and copies of the Bankruptcy announcement in the newspapers.

Your comments on the marriage are interesting, are you suggesting I should check other local CoE churches for the marriage? I'd not thought of that as I've not got a clue on the Religion side of this Genealogy stuff  ;)

Thanks for the suggestions.

Chat soon.

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / BOEG - Adams Place, Southwark
« on: Friday 20 July 07 12:48 BST (UK)  »
Hi folks,

I'm trying to locate any details on a Johannes BOEG (AKA: John Leven BOEG) who immigrated from Amsterdam to London sometime between 1801 and 1819. He was a Timber Merchant at 'Adam Place, High Street, Southwark' between 1823 and 1826 when he was declared bankrupt.

Hi children were baptised at the Grove Independent Chapel in Camberwell between 1819 and 1826, and I've been there to check their records - but they only have the baptism entries. I believe Johan died around 1830 in Southwark.

Absolutely any information or suggested next steps would be much appreciated.

Chat soon.

Westmorland / GREENWOODs in Westmoreland
« on: Friday 20 July 07 12:32 BST (UK)  »
Hi folks,

I'm interested in contacting anyone who's got information on any GREENWOOD relatives in these Westmoreland locations;

  • Holmscales in Old Hutton (~1530)
  • Lupton, Kirkby Lonsdale (~1570)
  • Box Tree Farm, Lupton, Kirkby Lonsdale (~1670)
  • Beckside in Lupton, Kirkby Lonsdale (~1690)

There's about 7 generations of Robert GREENWOOD who gradually head South from Holmscales until they arrive in Kentish Town, London in 1830.

Chat soon.

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Re: Marriage Hackney are early 1800
« on: Friday 20 July 07 12:06 BST (UK)  »
Hi Moors,

I've a number of GREENWOODs in Hackney at that time (quite a few George and Elizabeths too!) but none that match those dates. Give me some details (maybe via a personal message) and I'll see if I can find a link. Alternatively, check my details on www.devsys.co.uk and get in touch that way.

Chat soon.

US Lookup Requests / 1876 Sctoland - 1880 Pittsburgh ?
« on: Friday 20 July 07 11:50 BST (UK)  »
Hi folks,

I've got a family in Scotland in 1876, who next appear in the US 1880 Census in Pittsburgh, Allegheny. They supposedly had a son born in PA in 1879 (according to the census), so must have emigrated between 1876 and 1879... but I can't find them on any lists! Does anyone have any suggestions, or can offer any help?

The family are; (http://www.devsys.co.uk/George_Walker_1856.pdf)
  • George WALKER (born 1856, occupation Iron Worker or Forger)
  • Annie WALKER ne McCULLOCH (born 1857, occupation Dressmaker)
The 1880 census shows 3 children;
  • Susan Harrison WALKER (born 31 Aug 1876 in Scotland)
  • Alexander WALKER (born ~1878, supposedly in Scotland but I can find no record of it)
  • James McCullough WALKER (born 5 Dec 1879 in PA)

The best find I've managed so far was the State of Georgia, sailing  from Glasgow in November 1879 (http://www.devsys.co.uk/Georgia.jpg). There's an Andrew McCULLOCH (same name as Annies father) and family followed by a Mrs WALKER and her two kids Susan and Alex - BUT, the ages are all wrong (You can't pass Alex, born the year before, off as a 4 year old!). The McCULLOCH children seem to match most of Annies siblings too....

I'm open to any suggestions regarding this family, as I've been stuck on this branch for a couple of years now!  ???

Regards,
John Greenwood.
