Who were Margaret Wood's parents and what was their date of birth?

Do you happen to know the names of any siblings (of her father John) who would qualify to be the father of this John S. Grey (sometimes alternately spelled in records as Gray)?

Did Sarah Jane ever marry (if so, what was her surname) and is it possible she also visited in the US with the new surname?

Some records show this man's name as ALFRED TAYLOR ASKEW.
Some records show an alternate spelling of the middle name as ERMA LUCILE NAYLOR.

(Looking at the 1930 census record which shows the age at the first marriage, it would seem to indicate that they got married in 1925, approximately.)

There is a database compiled of all marriage records from all counties in the state of Ohio, but it does not show any listings either for this bride or for this groom.  Maybe they got married in another county , state, or country.  Marriage records in Ohio in each county are kept at the probate court for that county.

You may wish to contact the following sources for additional information, and I do not know if they charge a fee to do a search:

PROBATE COURT OF LORAIN COUNTY (OHIO) in Elyria, OH----(440) 329-5175

PROBATE COURT OF JEFFERSON COUNTY (OHIO) in Steubenville, OH----(740) 283-8556

Where did you come across the address?

This address, 350 W. 57th St, Apt. 5F, New York, NY was a prior address (1991) for Elizabeth B. Karpf, born May 5, 1908 in Buffalo, NY and who died October 10, 2001 in New York, NY.

She previously lived at 3616 Henry Hudson Parkway, Bronx, NY in the 1960's.

(From the Yonkers NY Herald Statesman, Friday, March 24, 1961--(page number not shown)

"Riverdale Nieces Named In Will"

Mrs.  Elizabeth Karpf of 3616 Henry Hudson Parkway, and Mrs. Sabina B. Wolfe of 4511 Fieldston  Road,  both  Riverdale,  share  in the estate  of  their  uncle,  the  late  Max  Mandel   of  New  York,   whose will was filed for probate in Surrogates Court in Manhattan.   Mr.  Mandel directed in the will  of Feb. 6, 1958 that the Riverdale legatees divide the estate equally with six other nieces and nephews.  Mr. Mandel died Jan.  15.  Value of the estate will not be known until an inventory is completed.

The 1976 NY times article referring to "beloved wife of Moe" has no relation to the Moe Karpf you are looking for, since the Moe's actual name in this article is MOE KARP.

Your query would be more likely to get interest from the families you are seeking/or a reply if you listed the names of specific persons you were looking for from this surname and their date of birth and date of death if you know it.

Exactly what information were you hoping to receive from the probate file?  Maybe we can check some other sources to find that information for you.

You can contact them at (415) 551-3924 to ask any questions you may have.  They may look at the probate file you want to see how many pages are in it, and they can compile an estimate of the total fee due by you (including copy fee and postage fee--you will be asked to provide them with a postage prepaid envelope so they can send you the requested documents--Federal Express would be a good way to do that).

From my past experiences with them, they will require you to pay the fee in advance, by check.

If it were a check from an American customer that goes through a US bank, the probate office will ask an American customer to fill in the date and to sign the check and to leave the amount blank so they can write that in themselves, and the person ordering would be instructed to write the notation "Not to exceed $50.00" in the memo line. 

I'm not certain whether they will accept a check from outside of the US, so you will need to ask them about that.

If they do accept your form of payment, please be prepared to wait for about 2-4 weeks to receive your documents, since they receive a lot of orders to process.

You can contact the Milwaukee Public Library (www.mpl.org) and ask their Genealogy Section if they can get a copy of the articles that you want.
