Good Morning All,

Whilst waiting for confirmation of details on the paternal side of the family I have started on the maternal. I am starting with John Thomas Martin. Born Oct 1875 Hill End. Parents are John Thomas Martin and Emma Jane Hancock. I have found a "tree" with a death of 10 July 1925 but cannot confirm this. I have also not found a wife. He had 11 (wow) brothers and sisters that I will go through one at a time, one being Great Great Grandmother Lucy Marion Martin. She is the reason for this side of the family hunt.

Can anyone shed some light on John Thomas Martin born 1875?

UPDATE: What I am now clear on:
John Thomas MARTIN born 1875-1876 Hill End, New South Wales.
Parents: John Thomas MARTIN & Emma Jane HANCOCK.
In 1913 he was alive and aged 37 from his father's death certificate.
In 1943 he was deceased as his mother's obituary names only one surviving son.
 

Hello to all. 

I am currently doing some research on five American Army Air Corps men that died in Australia. They were all killed in an aircraft accident in Monto, Queensland on 21 November 1943. The plane was discovered in 1948 and they were all buried in Bundaberg, Queensland on 5 July 1948.

1. A.E. Peglow - Albert Edward Peglow. Born 20 December 1916 in Michigan

2. E.L. Ahmann - Everett Louis Ahmann. Born 27 November 1916 in Missouri

3. J.F. Giugno

4. M.L Reitman

5. V.N. Gibson

I was after some help with the full names, birth dates and places of Giugno, Reitman and Gibson. I do not require any added information at this point in time.

What I have found so far is;

J.F Giugno - I think his first name is John and he was perhaps born in New York. His serial # was 12030794. He was 22 when he died
M.L. Reitmann - I think his first name is Michael and he was perhaps born in New York. He was 24 when he died.
V.N. Gibson - This one is interesting as records I have found in Australia have his name as N.V. Gibson but his headstone gives V.N. Gibson. He was 22 when he died.

Any help with full names and births would be very much appreciated. I wasn't sure about putting this request on the Forces forum as I am actually only after names and births. 

Kind regards,

Hello all,

I am looking for a possible marriage and death for;

Ethel May Sloane
born 12 May 1891, Bundaberg, Australia
Parents: Thomas Wilson Sloane and Sarah Pursell Glover

I am looking in Canada because;
1. I found her going to Canada in March 1930, she was a nurse
2. In a 1967 Australian obituary for her sister, she is listed as Mrs. E. Ward (Vancouver)

Any help and guidance would be very much appreciated.

Kind regards,

Hello to all 

I am looking for any information, however small, on my two Glidden girls.

This is what I know;
Their parents are Francis Glidden and Betsy Baxter married 21 March 1884, 19 Orchard Row, Cambusnethan. Francis died 6 September 1888 and Betsy died 4 September 1897.

Francis and Betsy had three children:
William Glidden born 23 December 1884 - 100% confirmed
Elizabeth Stewart Glidden born 4 September 1886 - 100% confirmed
Grace Harris Glidden born 19 May 1888 - 100% confirmed

I have all birth, death, burial and marriage information relating to Francis and Betsy and am currently trying to tie up loose ends on William on the USA board. I have a couple of queries relating to Betsy (Birth & Marriage say Betsy, death says Elizabeth). I have not been able to find Betsy on the 1891 Census. Her three children are on the 1891 census with their grandmother, where is she (her address at death was Scott Street, Motherwell) She died of eclampsia, which I believe is childbirth related, although I can find no other children.

Back to the girls. My last evidence of Elizabeth & Grace is the 1891 census aged 4 & 3. Their grandmother went to the USA in 1897 with William. What has happened to the girls? In 1897 they would only have been 10 & 9.

Any insights or leads would be much appreciated.

Kind regards,
