Cornwall / Looking for help with Minnie Richards
« on: Tuesday 27 November 12 22:00 GMT (UK)  »
Looking for parents of Minnie Richards born July 21, 1874 in Redruth.  She married John Bartle who according to US census records was born in New Jersey but his parents were from England (possibly John Bartle married to Mary Opie?).  According to her obituary, she came to America and settled in Ishpeming, Michigan in 1900.  I would greatly appreciate any help that can be given!  Kim

Cornwall Lookup Requests / Susanna WOOLCOCK married to James KNIGHT
« on: Monday 22 August 11 21:05 BST (UK)  »
Looking for parents of Susanna Woolcock and James Knight who married on July 1, 1832 in Calstock.  They had a son William Henry Knight born 1842 or 1847.  William died September 14, 1911 in Ishpeming, Michigan and his death record lists an approximate birth year as 1847.  His obituary also didn't give any better information.  Through some searches, I believe James and Susanna were his parents.  Hope I'm on the right track.  Thanks for taking a look at this request.

Renfrewshire / Bridget Gallacher married to Maxwell Beattie
« on: Sunday 12 June 11 02:40 BST (UK)  »
Bridget Gallacher was born February 5, 1874 at High Church, Paisley, Renfrew and married Maxwell Beattie on August 14, 1893 also in Paisley.  On the 1911 census I find Maxwell living with children - Francis, Robert, David and Maxwell.  Bridget is listed seperately as an inmate.  I was told that she was sick and children had to be placed with family members, but I am trying to confirm this story.  Can anyone help with this mystery?  Thank you for any help you can give.  Kim

Leicestershire Lookup Requests / Luke Marvin born 1781 Hinckley
« on: Saturday 26 February 11 18:51 GMT (UK)  »
I'm having a bit of a problem with Luke Marvin born 1781 in Hinckley.  I found the 1841 census which lists him with wife Ann.  Both are listed as 60 years old.  I was given information from a biography that listed Luke married to a Mary MacArthur born about 1785.  Confusion starts!!  Also in the census there is a Sarah Crockett born 1759 listed.  Could this possibly be the mother to the listed Ann?  Could the biography I was given be wrong?  I do know that my Luke Marvin was indeed born in 1781 in Hinckley and his son, Luke born 1820 also in Hinckley who emigrated to the USA, is correct info.  It's the wife name that I am confused on.  I have been unsuccessful in my search for a marriage record at www.findmypast.uk.  Thank you for any help you can give.  Kim

Cornwall Lookup Requests / William MENHENNET
« on: Monday 21 February 11 22:07 GMT (UK)  »
I hate to keep bugging, but hoping someone can shed some light on my mystery.  Here is my problem.  I have William Menhennet born 1814 in Wendron and married to Margaret Knucky July 12, 1843.  I sent for their marriage certificate.  The fathers are listed.  William's father is listed as James Menhennet.  Margaret's father is listed as James Knucky.  One World Tree lists William's parents as John Menhennet born 1788 married to Ann Andrew born 1792.  They were married 1812 in Wendron.  Who do I believe??  You guys are always so helpful and I thank you very much!  Kim

Looking for parents of Margaret Knuckey born 1822-1824 in Stithians and married in 1843 to William Menhennet in Wendron.  They emigrated to Negaunee, Michigan where they died in 1910 and 1907.  I have a death record that states Margaret's father was John Knuckey but no other information is listed.  I tried www.findmypast and didn't have any luck other than the marriage record.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
