Warwickshire / Mary Anne Jones, born 1858 at Broseley

« on: Tuesday 21 September 10 22:12 BST (UK) »

I have found Mary Anne Jones in 1881 census at 40 Pershore Road in Birmingham. Also have records of Emily Jones, born 1850 in the 1881 census. She was working for the Veisey family at 34 Pershore Road, Birmingham.
Emily, I know for sure was my ancestor, and she did have a sister Mary Anne, born 1858 in Broseley but the sticker is: Is the Mary Anne at 40 Pershore Road in Birmingham the one I'm after.
The two of them did also have two brothers in Birmingham at about the same time.

Any suggestions how to find more about Mary Anne?

Shropshire Lookup Requests / Burial Index searches or other info...

« on: Tuesday 21 September 10 21:51 BST (UK) »

If anyone is going to the Achives in Shrewsbury, and are willing and able to do Burial index lookups, it will be most appreciated.

Looking for Harriet A. Barlow, born Oct, 1887 and died March 1985 in Shrewsbury. Apparently she was in 1911 an assistant matron at Salop Police Court Mission (Boys Industrial Home)

Harriet was born "Jones" and adopted by a family in Shrewsbury, appears she later took the name "Barlow"

Any info about her will be welcome!

The family legend is that he left England for Australia. Born about 1879-1880 in Birmingham, Eng.
Passengers lists suggest he went to Australia (Sydney) in 1905. Occupation-jeweller. Parents-Jeremiah and Geneva Jones.

Canada Lookup Request / Joseph Charles/Edna ?

« on: Tuesday 31 August 10 20:15 BST (UK) »

Does anyone have suggestions how to find information about a marriage for the above couple?
I have found two passenger lists for him when he arrived in Canada in 1930 and took a trip back to England with his wife in 1957 but would like to find out more about her and where they may have lived in Canada (possibly in Ontario?)

Thank you!

Shropshire / Ellen Jones, born 1850 Broseley, parents Jeremiah and Sarah

« on: Thursday 18 March 10 00:18 GMT (UK) »

Can you tell me if Ellen and Emily would have been forms of the same name?
This person Ellen Jones seems to have switched back/forth between the two names in the census records 1851-1901.

Europe / Germans from Russia

« on: Sunday 21 February 10 19:07 GMT (UK) »

Suggestions please how to start searching for my German gr. grandparents in Russia.

From what I have found, they may have started from around Lucynow or Lublin in what is now Poland. The family came to Canada in 1893 but that's about all I know.

Thank you
