US Lookup Requests / Violet Mary Jackson birth 27.09.1903
« on: Tuesday 16 January 24 15:59 GMT (UK)  »
Trying to find a birth record (or baptism) for a Violet Mary Jackson on 27.09.1903  in Brooklyn, NY city.
Her parents Joseph Jackson and Elle (Nellie) nee Lalley travelled from the UK after 6.4.1902 (her sisters birth in UK) and returned before the UK 1911 census.  Living as per the  1905 census from NY (16th Electoral District, Block C, 30th Assembly District, Borough of Brooklyn, County of Kings. NY. He is a machinist, she a housewife.  He could be working for a company called E.W. Bliss and Co. of Brooklyn, New York who produced torpedoes for the US Navy.

Another relative wonders if she was adopted by them in NY - have no evidence of this so finding a record of birth would help to solve this mystery. 

Any help with this would be much appreciated.  Regards Sue

South Africa / Samuel Haywood - Johannesburg Police
« on: Tuesday 28 April 20 11:57 BST (UK)  »
Hello - would be grateful if anyone could help me find more info. about my relative Samuel Haywood.  He was born in Preston, Lancashire in 1862 and married my great aunt Jane Steadman.  He served in the 15th Hussars and as a Policeman in England.  Have found his attestation papers for 1900 when he signs up for the 66th Coy Imperial Yeomanry and is posted to SA.   His papers state he was discharged at his own request on 27.3.1901 but a note just before that says To Police Pte 1.2.01.  It also states his intended place of residence as Johannesburg Police.  I can find no record of him, his wife Jane or their adopted son Edward C Dunning (Jane's sister's child) after this so would love to find out if he/they moved to SA permanently.  Thank you for reading this - any help would be appreciated.  Regards Sue
