United States of America / New York City; Wards; Districts; and 1870 census.
« on: Wednesday 20 November 19 21:09 GMT (UK)  »
Can any body help.

I have a death certificate for a Catherine Adley who died 25th September 1872 at 1445, 2nd Avenue, 19th Ward, New York.
Can anybody tell me what district in 19th Ward will contain 1445, 2nd Avenue.

The reason I ask is as follows: I know Catherine had a husband called John who was a blacksmith they had a son Frank (Francis) born about 1850 and a daughter Mary born about 1857.

I am trying to find Catherine in the 1870 census. And have identified two alternatives but the surnames are slightly different as follows:

Firstly. There is a Catherine AUDLEY living in 29th District, 19th Ward; aged 40 with a husband John, a blacksmith and a son Francis aged 19

Secondly. There is a Catherine ARDLEY living in 4th District 19th Ward; aged 40 with a husband John, a blacksmith and a Daughter Mary aged 14

If I could identify in which district of the 19th Ward Catherine Adley died I am hoping to identify where she is in the 1870 Census.

Thanks in anticipation of any help.

United States of America / 1930 US Federal Census; Boston, Massachusetts
« on: Sunday 22 September 19 12:34 BST (UK)  »
Can anybody please help.

I have a copy of the Naturalisation Papers of a Joseph Audley dated  1st April 1926.  in those papers he gives his address as 344 Third Street So Boston, Massachusetts.

I have tried to search for him by name in the 1930 US Federal Census, without success.  Can anybody tell me who was living at 344 Third Street So Boston, Massachusetts in the 1930 US Federal Census?

Or can anybody tell me any more about this Joseph Audley after  1926?  The family story is that he joined the US Navy ( or was possibly a seaman generally)

Many thanks in anticipation of your help

Wiltshire / All Saints Church Broad Chalke
« on: Friday 16 August 19 16:23 BST (UK)  »
I have been told that the font in All Saints Church in Broad Chalke, Wiltshire contains the 'Coat of Arms of a member of the Touchet Family.

As I live over 230 miles north of Broad Chalke, it will be a while before I can make a detour to take a look at it.

Does any Rootschatter pass through Broad Chalke and would it  be possible for them to take a photo of the Coat of Arms for me?

United States of America / Elizabeth Burke formerly Audley living 1918 in Kansas City, Missouri
« on: Wednesday 26 June 19 21:34 BST (UK)  »
In an Obituary of a John Joseph Audley aged 68 reported in the Kansas City Star published 9th February 1918 a reference is made to his sister Mrs Elizabeth Burke of 222 West Thirty-ninth Street.

I suspect the Mrs Elizabeth Burke, his sister, is the Elizabeth Audley, who married Edward B Burke in Buchan County, Mssouri on 5th September 1877.  I have seen their surnames recorded as Audly and Burne in transcriptions of their marriage record.

I would appreciate help in trying to find Elizabeth Burke (formerly Audley) in the US Federal Censuses  from 1880 to 1920.

I know a lot about the family of John Joseph Audley who is recorded in the obituary but know nothing about his sister Mrs Elizabeth Burke other than in 1918 was living at 222 West Thirty-ninth Street.

Many Thanks in anticipation of your help

Waterford / Waterford Militia
« on: Thursday 04 April 19 16:29 BST (UK)  »
I recently stumbled across the discharge papers for a Thomas Audley ,who was discharged from the Waterford Regiment of Militia & Infantry on 29th June 1814.  At discharge he was 49 years old, indicating he was born about 1764. It states that he was born in "Passage" in County Waterford.

It also states 'whereby he is rendered incapable of further Service, and do think him a fit object of his Majesty's Royal Bounty of Kilmainham Hospital.'

Any suggestions as to how I can find out more information about the Waterford Militia at this time; more information about this Thomas Audley, baptism parents etc. Also did the Kilmainham Hospital keep records, if so where are they and are they available on line?

Thanks for any suggestions

Waterford / One church or two
« on: Tuesday 19 March 19 15:44 GMT (UK)  »
I have been collecting baptism and marriage information from a well known Irish website.

I have three Baptisms where the Church is referred to as TRINITY WITHIN (CATHED.) in County Waterford These baptisms took place in 1811, 1816 and 1819. In all cases the Denomination of the person being baptised is recorded as Roman Catholic.

I also have a marriage from the same website in  3rd July 1826 the Church is referred to as HOLY TRINITY WITHIN WATERFORD CITY.  Both the bride and the groom are recorded as being Church of Ireland but a note states 'MARRIED BY LICENCE Officiator: HOBSON ARCHDEACON Register B/M1812-1845 Place of Marriage St. Patricks. Groom George Audley; bride Sarah Robinson.

My questions are:
Is TRINITY WITHIN (CATHED) and HOLY TRINITY WITHIN WATERFORD CITY two names for the same church?

Was it usual for Roman Catholic Baptisms and Church of Ireland marriages to take place at the same church?

Where exactly did the marriage tale place as it seems to imply both HOLY TRINITY WITHIN WATERFORD CITY & ST Patricks?


Thanks in anticipation of your advice

Staffordshire / Which church in Stafford
« on: Tuesday 05 February 19 19:16 GMT (UK)  »
In the book titled ‘ Survey of Staffordshire etc ctc’ by Sampson Erdeswick and revised by Thomas Harwood and published in 1820 it discusses on a particular page a particular Coat of Arms. That page can be found by following link the link below:

 https://archive.org/details/asurveystafford00harwgoog/page/n158

The book states:
‘And besides in Stafford church, stands together, Azure, three butterflies Argent,  and Argent, a pile Gules; it being well known, that Sir James de Audeley and Sir John Chandose were great companions in arms about this time.

Can anybody tell me to which church in Stafford the book is referring; and are the ‘Coats of Arms’ still visible.

Thanks for your help.
