Leitrim / dressmaker in Drumshanbo
« on: Friday 16 December 22 19:09 GMT (UK)  »
Hello
My ggrandmother was a dressmaker in Drumshanbo, around 1900 or so.
Does anyone know of any dressmakers at that time?

She married in 1901 so my guess is she worked from around 1890 or so.  She was born in 1871 - Jane Sophia Higginson.

Thanks so much!

West Lothian (Linlithgowshire) / Wallace, Johnstone, Galloway names I am looking for!
« on: Wednesday 23 February 22 19:45 GMT (UK)  »
Hello everyone.
I am following a potential lead.
I have John Wallace died 1882 in Livingstone, age 35. He was a farmer and married to Mary Johnstone. They married in 1872 in Livingstone.  I am trying to find out the names of any children. On the 1881 census, they are listed with a child, John, age 2 who is listed as a "boarder".

On John and Mary's marriage info, the witness was an Andrew Wallace. I am wondering if John the Boarder was a child of a sibling (brother Andrew?) of either John or Mary.

John's parents are listed on the marriage info as John Wallace (Farmer) and Helen Galloway.

I am also looking for the death of Mary. I would assume she remarried but I have nothing on her.

Any help is very much appreciated!
Thanks!

Ayrshire / Clerk or Clark - Looking for death date
« on: Sunday 13 September 20 18:46 BST (UK)  »
Hello all!
I am trying to find my gr-gr-gr grandfather's death date.
He was Arthur Clark (or Clerk) and was married to Mary McBride
He lived on Darlymple St in Girvan and was a cotton loom weaver.
He shows on the 1841 and 1851 census but not the 1861 so my assumption is that he died between 1851 and 1861.
I have searched SP but no luck.

Any help is grately appreciated!

Canada / Thomas Alfred Curtis (again) puzzle
« on: Monday 12 August 19 15:50 BST (UK)  »
I think I have posted about me attempting to find Thomas A. Curtis but I can't find the original post.
The kind people here pointed me in the direction that Thomas married Susan Webb after Lillian (Clewes) Iredale. But I am second guessing myself that this is the correct man.  Here's the timeline:

Lillian Clewes m Henry Iredale in Toronto Dec. 1890
Henry Iredale died 1897.

Lillian married Thomas A. Curtis in Essex, ON May 22 1899

On the 1900 US census, Lillian is in Cooks County, Illinois and listed as a widow.

Lillian married Harry Gill Dec 17 1903, using the name of Lillian Iredale

Now, onto Thomas A. Curtis - his marriage certificate to Lillian says:

NameThos A CurtisAge32Birth Yearabt 1867Birth PlaceLiverpoolMarriage Date22 May 1899Marriage PlaceEssex, Ontario, CanadaFatherJ H CurtisMotherLouise J Mackey CurtisSpouseLillie IredaleHousehold Members
NameAge
Name
Thos A Curtis

Louise J Mackey Curtis

J H Curtis

Lillie Iredale

Agnes Wright

John Cleves

and on the marriage to Susan Webb, it says:

NameSusie WebbAge24Birth Yearabt 1884Birth PlacePlumstead, EngMarriage Date27 Jan 1908Marriage PlaceYork, Ontario, CanadaFatherSamuel George WebbMotherCatherine Reinbird WebbSpouseAlfred I CurtisHousehold Members
NameAge
Name
Alfred I Curtis
Name
Louise Jane Moxey Curtis
Name
John William Curtis
Name
Susie Webb
Name
Catherine Reinbird Webb
Name
Samuel George Webb

So the anomalies are: my Thomas A. Curtis is listed as Alfred I Curtis on the 2nd marriage cert. and his father is listed as J.H. Curtis and mother is Louise Mackey on the marriage to Lillian and they are listed as J.W. Curtis and Louise Moxey on the marriage to Susan.  AND as far as I can tell, Thomas and Lillian are still married to each other !!

What do you think?
