US Lookup Requests / Swallows in New York from 1907
« on: Sunday 27 November 05 04:51 GMT (UK)  »
My grandfather's aunt, Julia Swallow, emigrated from Hertfordshire to New York in September 1913 aged 19, going to a W.A Swallow at 1274 Atlantic Avenue Brooklyn.  We think this was her brother Walter (born 1881) who had gone to New York in 1907, and her brother Frank (born 1881) went in 1912.  Although Julia visited family in Hertfordshire in 1952, no one that I know remembers if she was married, or what her married name was.  I have tried writing to Swallows in Brooklyn now, but have had no replies.  Does anyone have some skills in tracking family in New York and have the time and inclination to help find what happened to Julia and her brothers?
thank you so much

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Frederick John Williams 1871
« on: Tuesday 22 November 05 11:29 GMT (UK)  »
would someone be so kind as to look up my Frederick John Williams in 1871 please.  In 1881 he is 14 and living at 14 Craven Buildings -- he got married from there in 1886 -- with mother Sarah Williams (says Sarah E, but marriage certificate suggests Sarah S Williams) aged 37, sister Esther J Williams aged 17 and grandmother Esther Simmonds.  I am looking for a father who may be William Baptise Williams
thanks

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Lornas family 1891
« on: Friday 11 November 05 12:35 GMT (UK)  »
In the 1901 census Daniel Percy Ratcliffe (or Radcliffe) is living at Lord Street in Oldham aged 14, with his father and father's second wife Maria and children named Lornas -- Willaim aged 21, then Mary and Agnes, Robert aged 28, Margaret and Aneta.  William is a pantomimist and robert an aerobat, Margaret is an actress.  Would someone be kind enough to have a look in 1891 for me to see where these Lornases came from?  Was there a circus or a theatre in Lancashire that they might have performed in?  Was their father in the circus or the theatre?Thanks

Lancashire Completed Lookup Requests / Ratcliffe 1891
« on: Tuesday 08 November 05 08:36 GMT (UK)  »
Could someone please look up the 1891 census for me.  Daniel Percival Ratcliffe (known as Percy) was born in late 1886 in Oldham, the son of Jonah and Gertrude Ratcliffe.  They all seem to have disappeared in 1901, but he married my grandmother sometime before 1918 when he died in France.  We think he was a tumbler and tightrope walker with the Pender Troup (of Cary Grant fame) and maybe he came from a circus family.
Thanks

Cornwall Completed Lookup Requests / Bishops and Bunnys
« on: Wednesday 02 November 05 09:36 GMT (UK)  »
My great-grandmother was Kate Bunny, born Penryn. My grandmother (her daughter) had a lady living with her who was born Tabitha Bishop in Perranarworthal.  Tabitha aged 12 appears in the 1871 census living at Tullamorr with her mother, Priscilla (nee Sampson) and brother John.
The Bishops and the Bunnys are related, but how?  Does anyone know any more?
