United States of America / Marriage and birth records in Virginia
« on: Tuesday 14 November 23 01:16 GMT (UK)  »
Could anyone tell me where to find marriage and birth certificates in Virginia between 1924 and 1933. Family search does not appear to have them. Thanks so much. Nikkei

Canada Lookup Request / Thomas NOSWORTHY in Belleville, Ontario
« on: Monday 10 October 22 22:48 BST (UK)  »
According to the Wesleyan Baptismal Register, a Thomas NOSWORTHY and his wife, Mary, baptised a son, James, at Belleville, Ontario on 22 December 1846. I have followed James until his death but I cannot find any further evidence of his parents, Thomas and Mary. As the 1851 census is not reliable in terms of coverage available for viewing, they certainly have not been found there. But not in any further census forward. No record of death for either. If not in the 1881 census, I suppose one can only assume both died before that time.  IF Thomas is the person I believe he is, he would have been born around 1820. Any help most appreciated. Nikkei

Devon / HOOPER in Barnstaple
« on: Wednesday 06 July 22 19:49 BST (UK)  »
I am searching for the baptism of a William HOOPER, born either South Molton or Barnstaple, between 1826 and 1831. He was the son of Thomas Dooland HOOPER and his wife, Ann SNOW. Many of their children included some variation of Dooland / Doolan in their name, as did future generations. The censuses from 1841 to 1901 all point to a birth around 1826 - 1828, and no-where is there any mention of his name including Dooland. BUT there is a burial of William Doolan HOOPER, age 75, in 1906 in Barnstaple. This is the only incidence of the name Dooland attached to him and am hoping a baptism would prove otherwise. In the 1901 census William declared himself to be already 76 years of age. Ironically, his wife, Fanny, also declared her age as 77 in 1901 and at her death in 1908, she was said to be 76 !! I know ages at death are not reliable.... but ??? Hoping a baptism might include Dooland in his name.

Monmouthshire / Newport cemeteries

I have a family member, Edith YELLAND, who died 30 March 1959 at Newport. She was living at Parklands at Malpas, Newport prior to her death. I would like to find out where she was buried; doubt there was a memorial stone. Would there be any way to search for that somehow. Many thanks. Nikkei

US Lookup Requests / Carrie BROOKS died 27 March 1927 in Taunton, Massachusetts
« on: Wednesday 10 March 21 01:45 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to determine if the FindAGrave entry for Carrie BROOKS, 1881 - 1927, at Union Cemetery, Brockton, is hers. Her date of death, 27 March 1927, comes from a U.S. Directory for Taunton which clearly states that date and the entry also includes her husband, Walter Brooks' name.

Confusing the issue is my own transcription of an interment card stating: "BROOKS, Carrie; Lot No. 223B; Sec. P; Grave No. 5. Age: 42 Years, 2 months, 15 days. Place of Death: Taunton, Mass; Date of Death: 27 March 1927; Undertaker, Milton H. Farley; Interred, Taunton, Mass. Single grave.

Unfortunately I do not have the original image and cannot find it again as I'm not sure where I originally got it. Perhaps I transcribed the age at death incorrectly because this age at death leads you to a birth around 1885 which is about 5 years out for "my" Carrie. ... yet the date of death on this card indicates it should be the same person. Also, it states she was buried at Taunton (not Brockton)......so I am quite unsure and confused.

My "Carrie" would have been buried alone since her husband, Walter, returned to Prince Edward Island and married again. Any thoughts most appreciated.
