The Common Room / Re: lukeis surname orgins
« on: Today at 11:31 »
It is very possible that the two sets of "Lukeis" families are not related at all, just a spelling concidence.

For example, the surname Martin is common in multiple countries across Europe, including England and France.  I wouldn't try to call it an English surname or a French surname because it has such a long history in both countries that the origins of any particular line of Martins are probably lost to time.

A more extreme example: the surname Lee is either English, or as another spelling of Li, Chinese.

There was no civil registration before 1938.
So first we need to know whether he was Catholic, Protestant or Jewish.

The National Library of Scotland has a lot of older maps.
Here is one for the area from 1922 but you can find others on the site.

It would be while there was still money in the estate. You can't leave what you don't own.

In practice what this meant was that if she remarried very quickly, she didn't get all the money. It also would stop her theoretical next husband gaining control of the estate, because in the case of her remarrying the residual would all go to someone else, probably the son.

 In 1900, senior medical officer was J Bradley Hughes - your JH?

List of surgeons in Liverpool in 1900:

closest to BO I can find:
Felix Brannigan O'Flaherty
John Brown Oliver

Of course if you can find a directory from around 1906/7 you might see some new names pop up.

Hi there and welcome to Rootschat!

George Grecian married Isabella McKenzie in 1850
Also a child to them born the same year.
But then nothing until George marries in 1861. Possibly the second marriage certificate would give you some useful info. it might be she died before 1853 (when civil registration officially started).

On the familysearch catalog for this location, there seem to be some parish registers and also land tenancy records.

Some of these are only viewable at a FHC.

I see no marginal notes on her birth certificate, unfortunately.

I see that "de Bartholomey" is a common spelling for the family in France so maybe:

To understand "Russian Poland" you have to understand a little of the history:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partitions_of_Poland
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congress_Poland

It would be worth looking at other Selmer/Celmer families in  Schenectady, as they may be related.
