Warwickshire Lookup Requests / DIGNAN - Birmingham Archives lookup request
« on: Wednesday 03 March 10 07:45 GMT (UK)  »
Can anyone please look up a coroners inquest record at Birmingham Central Library Archives for the following;
Bridget DIGNAN died 29 June 1889. Inquest held 2 July 1889.

Bridget lived at 46 Smithfield Passage, Birmingham and was wife of Patrick DIGNAN a bricklayers labourer.

The surname is sometimes spelled DIGNAM.
I'd be very grateful for any help.
Thanks Bargee girl

Canada / New info for Myra Buckley
« on: Monday 15 February 10 08:24 GMT (UK)  »
My last posting suggested Myra Elizabeth Buckley (who I now know arrived in Toronto in 1922 aged 16 years, from Birmingham England) married a William GRIELLUS in Toronto. New info just to hand suggests his name might in fact have been William GILLIES (or variant).

The two would have married after 1923 (when both were witnesses at her Aunts wedding in Toronto). Her address at that time was 74 Grace Street, Toronto. His may have been 38 Tennis (?) Crescent , Toronto.

Can anyone help locate a possible marriage for the two. Otherwise a birth of their son William. Or a death/burial.

Second question............does anyone know if the two streets mentioned still exist in Toronto ?

Thanks friends!

Canada / Myra Buckley in Toronto?
« on: Tuesday 09 February 10 23:59 GMT (UK)  »
I'm a new member and this is my first question to the chat-o-sphere. Hope I'm lucky!
I am searching for information on my Great Aunt, Myra Buckley, born Birmingham England 1906.

She reputedly emigrated to Canada (Toronto) ........I imagine in the 1920's or 1930's. I am told she married a man called Bill (William?) GRIELLUS  and they had one son.
There is a possibility that Myra may have travelled to Canada using her mothers maiden name (HARRINGTON).

I want to verify all of the above (so searching for shipping, marriage, birth records). I'd also like to know if the family has suvived to the present day.

To date I have only looked at phone books for Toronto to find the surname GRIELLUS but with no luck.  I have no idea how to get birth/marriage records.

Is there anyone out there who can help or advise me?

Many thanks ......fingers crossed!
