Tipperary / Stephen Agen and Maria Steen
« on: Friday 19 August 22 11:04 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to trace a marriage between Stephen Agen and Maria Steen, who had a daughter Annie, born 1835 plus/minus 2 years - they moved at some time to the USA, where my currentl research is taking place, however I am hopeful of the irish connection.  Annie's place of birth is stated as Tipperary,  any help would be gratefully accepted.  Thank- you Elizabeth.

US Lookup Requests / Annie Golden b. Ireland 1835
« on: Wednesday 17 August 22 19:34 BST (UK)  »
From research I find that the above lady married a William Park in Manhattan, New York on the 6th September 1871.  She was the daughter of Stephen Agen and Maria Steen her estimated date of birth is 1835 in Tipperary Ireland. William remarries in 1885, again in Manhatton so I am assuming that Ann
died between 1871 and 1885.  Could anyone give me clues as to where to turn next - cannot seem to find a death., any help greatly appreciated.  Regards Elizabeth

The Common Room / 1939 - Census England.
« on: Tuesday 06 April 21 14:01 BST (UK)  »
Using the above records to find various relatives, I see that many ladies, who were single at the time have had their later married names added to the record.  Why was this done does any know the reason - it obviously helps with research, but I am sure this was not the reason  ???

Lanarkshire / Edward Hedley - Application for Relief - 1888
« on: Tuesday 21 July 20 10:39 BST (UK)  »
After many years of searching I have at last found Edward, who lived until the 1871 census in County Durham and then was lost to me.  He is stated as a widower and on the 1881 I eventually found him living at 18 Church Street Hamilton a border with head of the house one Alexander Morrison. he is recorded as applying for Relief at Cambusnethan, Lanarkshire on 23rd April, 1888.  His death certificate shows a date of 25th April 1888 at 3 Park Street Wishaw - is this a a workhouse does any one know.
The fate of Edward's wife is unknown to me as I cannot find her death or why Edward should end up in Scotland as his family are all situated in County Durham.
He was a coal miner.
Cound anyone point me in the right direction to do further research.
Thank you Elizabeth

Does anyone who had connections with the north-east of England remember the Dun Cow Inn in Shildon?  It is many years since I left the area, does it still exist. 
Regards Elizabeth.

United States of America / Sweetwater Wyoming.
« on: Thursday 07 February 19 09:26 GMT (UK)  »
Researching a great uncle, I find he went to Wyoming in 1920 and settled there, it seems he continued the 'family occupation' of coal-miner.  Could anyone give me any background to the area, it seems that people from many different places went there at about that time - how would he know where to go find work?  Any information would really be appreciated.  ( on his WW11 Draft Reg Card he states his employer as U P Coal Co Rock Springs).  Thank you Elizabeth.

« on: Saturday 05 May 18 09:52 BST (UK)  »
I Have found, much to my surprise that the youngest child of William Wilson and Barbara Crawford from County Durham left for New York in 1911.  He was accompanied by his brother-in-law john Watson.  They were sponserd by his brother-in-law Clement Minto Bird .
John left behind a wife, who in 1916 remarried - widowed.
I haven't researched American records before so dont really know where to start,

any help appreciated.

Durham / Amelia Wilson born 1871 Darlington County Durham.
« on: Thursday 19 April 18 14:31 BST (UK)  »
I have come to a halt in my research for the above lady.  Amelia was born to William Wilson and Barbara Jane Crawford 4th July, 1871 and baptised 5th October, 1873 in Darlington.  At home with her parents and siblings  in 1881 at Auckland Park Grange Hill, 1891 finds her in Trinity Street, Darlington as a domestic servant - Nursemaid. age 19.  I have looked for a marriage - there is one to a William Wilson in 1895, but can find no trace of a William and Amelia in 1901 or 1911.  Have tried Ancestry, Find my past and family search...any ideas where I might look next?  Elizabeth
