US Completed Requests / Re: Robert Waite Cowham b 1889 NY
« on: Thursday 16 May 13 12:34 BST (UK) »
Many thanks for your reply. I have corrected my mistakes!!
I would really like to find his birth and also the marriage of Eliza to William. Hopefully that will help me with my search.
There doesn't appear to be any records showing for that in Ancestry.

Margaret

US Completed Requests / Robert Waite Cowham b 1889 NY
« on: Thursday 16 May 13 12:16 BST (UK) »
I am trying to trace the birth of Robert and his mother.
All I have is from the 1910 census in Onondago NY in 1910 and his death in 1939 in that county.
His mother is Eliza b 1864 NY married to William Tall/Tell, who was from England.
Robert is listed as step son to William and I am wondering if Eliza was married to a Cowham before this marriage to him, which would link her to my Cowhams from Lincolnshire and who emigrated to NY.
Any help woul be appreciated.

Margaret

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: Looking for Sarah Ann Hague after 1881 census in Sheffield
« on: Saturday 02 February 13 09:29 GMT (UK) »
Thank you everyone for your thoughts.
Sarah Ann Ibbotson was born 1861 in Sheffield. Her father Henry had died before 1881 when she was living with her mother Hannah Ibbotson and her sister Annie at 61 Spring St, Sheffield.
I had found this marriage to Benjamin Hague and have presumed that it was her. Looks now as if this is not so as I hadn't taken in the fact that that Sarah's name was Hibbertson, or perhaps I had thought it was a transcription error!! You know what thought did!!
. But I can't seem to find Sarah on the marriages I mentioned at the start of this thread.
I am presuming it is Hannah's daughter as it doesn't give any indication as to relationship with her, just Widow.
Kind regards,
Calmar

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Looking for Sarah Ann Hague after 1881 census in Sheffield
« on: Friday 01 February 13 14:59 GMT (UK) »
I would appreciate some help regarding the above please.
Sarah Ann was born Ibbotson and married to Benjamin Hague Sept qtr 1878 in Sheffield. Benjamin died 1878 and Sarah is living in Sheffield with her mother Hannah Ibbotson and sister Annie Ibbotson in 1881. She is described as a Widower and her occupation is a Warehouse woman.
I can't find a marriage for her after 1881 or a death. I have searched the records for marriages and further census for two entries in 1882 and 1885.
If anyone has Parish records or similar and could help me with this query, I would be very grateful.
Kind regards,
Calmar

Canada Lookup Request / Re: British Home Child - Mafey SKELTON
« on: Saturday 29 December 12 11:16 GMT (UK) »
Was she using the name Skelton or Owen when you say she was in Toronto about 1920.
Also have you tracked down her daughter Mary Owen who was born in Sheffield in 1925?

Kent / Re: Looking for Death of John William Woodruff AKA Wm Woodruff c 1901 onwards
« on: Wednesday 28 November 12 11:08 GMT (UK) »
Hello everyone.
Many thanks for your thoughts on the above person.
I agree, I think he did a runner too. Have found one record for a W Woodruff from Kent on 16 Oct 1905 working as a ships steward on way to Sidney NSW aboard the vessel Coolgardia. Then I found a record on Australian census in 1914 in Hagley, Wilmot Tasmania, occupation Labourer. He seemed to be living alone. After that nothing even searching into the 1940's for him, presuming he did not come back.
Mary died in Bridge April 1957 at St Augustines Hospital. She is not listed as Widow on 1911 but married. I have the census sheet for her.
His last child attributed to Mary was Gertrude born 1902, he was a Navvy and living at Cook's Cottages, Dover. Then next child Ada Mary down as Reynolds daughter on 1911 census born 1907, so could tie in with the trip to Aus.
I couldn't find him in WW1 records but his age would perhaps not make him eligible for active service. (50 yrs old).
Kind regards,
Margaret

Kent / Looking for Death of John William Woodruff AKA Wm Woodruff c 1901 onwards
« on: Tuesday 27 November 12 12:38 GMT (UK) »
Hello,
Searches for this chap are proving negative. I can't find him after 1901 census married to Mary (Strood) and living at Cooks Cottage Dover.
He was born in Gibraltar 1864 to a serving soldier. 1st sighting in 1871 in Cheriton Kent Barracks.
In 1911 Mary is now 'Housekeeper' to a Mr Reynolds who is a Carter and living in Temple Ewell. With her are some of her children to William and some new ones which 1911 census indicates are children to Reynolds. One bc of a child indicates that the father's name is not known!!
Mary died in 1951 and the dc says that she is widow of Wm Woodruff Labourer. William had occupations of Soldier, navvy and ship's stoker up to 1901.
On a marriage cert in 1919 for one child it gives William as deceased.
Any help with William's death would be very very welcome!!
Kind regards,
Margaret
