United States of America / Millbury/Grafton, MA Reardon's

« on: Sunday 16 May 10 16:56 BST (UK) »

I am looking for any additional information regarding 3 Reardon's who lived in Millbury/Grafton area from about 1837. The following is what I have to date.

1) Maurice Reardon, b. 1811,Ireland m. Mrs. Hannah French Feb 11, 1838. He is listed in the 1840 & 1850 Census as well as the non-population census of 1850. His death record states he died in California March 4,1852. I believe Maurice was returned to Grafton for burial. ?
A number of Grafton men are listed on the same page as having died in California. Does anyone know if a group from the area followed the gold rush.
Would love to find his parents names or connection to New Brunswick.

2. John 1815-? Ireland. m. Margaret Walsh 1841. In Millbury census 1850-1880. Children: William 1842-?,Maryann 1846-1864, Caroline 1850-?, she married Carl Stratton. Maurice 1856-?, Emma 1859-?
Would love to find his parents names or connection to New Brunswick.

3. Thomas Reardon 1820 Co.Cork,Ireland Immigrated to Sussex New Brunswick. Parents are Patrick and Johanna ? m. Frances Himes 1849 in West Boyston. Residence states he was living in Millbury at time of marriage. He is listed in the Grafton 1850 Census as well as the non-population census of 1850. His death record states he died in Grafton Sept 17, 1865. Children: Helen A 1851-? Helen becomes a teacher in Needham. Edwin T. 1853-1873,Marian 1856-?, Stephen 1860-1875, Johanna 1862-1865, Charles Maurice 1864-1865.

I believe these three are brothers and I'm looking for the piece that confirms or refutes it.

Thank you,

Waterford / Patrick Power Mary Doyle

« on: Tuesday 12 January 10 17:13 GMT (UK) »

I'm looking for information on Patrick Power b.1851 in Waterford City. Who married Mary Doyle b.1867 Tipperary
According to the 1911 Census, they were married in 1885 and raised their family in Waterford City, living at 7 Well Ln in 1911.
Johanna Doyle is listed as the mother-in-law, so I am assuming that's Mary's surname .
I am trying to validate this as Mary Doyle, daughter of John and Johanna (aka Judith) Withroe Doyle of Cashel Tipperary.
Thank you,
Maureen

Canada Lookup Requests Completed / 1851 Canada Census

« on: Thursday 24 September 09 22:05 BST (UK) »

Does anyone know if there is any place online to view the 1851 Canada Census, besides Ancestry.com. I am trying to view the Patrick Reardon's from New Brunswick, King's Co. Sussex. On Ancestry the record I found for them (sp. Rayordan and transcribed Ragedon) is actually the page from the 1861 Census ( the ages listed validate it as the 1861.) I have contacted Ancestry twice, but have no resolution, so I'm hoping there is some other place to view this record.
Thanks

United States of America / Kenneth & James Robinson

« on: Monday 07 September 09 17:27 BST (UK) »

I'm looking for information about James Emerson Lloyd Robinson. He was born in Brockton, Mass in July 9, 1908. His parents were John Robinson and Ella Blanche Robertson. (She may have remarried and become Ella Hale). Ella left John and moved to Oregon by the 1920 census and Washington State by 1930. He had one brother Kenneth.
I have found a record for James Lloyd Robinson who was in the Navy during WWII, lived in Washington, and is buried at Golden Gate National Cememtery. His wife was Marion Virginia Robinson. He died Oct 1, 1958. Would like to verify this is the same James.

I'm hoping to locate more of his family. He was my mother's cousin and the surviving cousins would love to know about his life, he left when he was a very young.

Thank you,
Maureen

Looking for information on John Walker from Co Tyrone born abt 1779. Married Ann (could be Smith/Thompson/Mitchell)

Any information about their family and life in Tryone would be appreciated. Would love to know Ann's actual name, or places to write to in that area for records. I believe they were Presbyterian.
