Hi,

This is a bit of a shot in the dark, but I wonder if anyone can help/advise my further research on my 2x gt grandmother's (Mary Jean or Jane Junio) family of JUNIO (also spelled variously as JUNILION, De JUNIO, JULLIEN, JUNOT) in France.
I have her parents marriage record from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada on 10/10/1814 (below) giving her paternal grandparents as Louis Junilion & Marie Dubois of Paris. She had 3 brothers John Joseph (who moved to Syracuse, NY & died 1865), Joseph and Maximilian (both cigar makers and moved to Massachusets in 1869).

St Peter’s Church, Archdiocese of Halifax, Nova Scotia (Marriages 1810 - 1816 & 1830 - 1843)
JUNILION - Le douze octobre mil huit cent quatorze nous pretre sansigné avant vu le dispence du publication de bans a Joseph Junilion, fils de Louis Junilion et de Marie Dubois dela ville de Paris en France d’une part, et a Anne Lenox, fille de Charles Lenox et de Jeanne Lenox de cette paroisse d’autre part avons recu leur mutual consente et nous avons donne la bénédiction en présence du Jean Frémont amis de l’épous et Charles Lenox frére de l’épouse et autres.

Their grandson's (John Joseph Junio jr) obituary in New York 1904 says that he was a descendant of the famous Junot family of France, one of them being a general under Bonaparte and, at the downfall of the French emperor, a part of the family came to the US.

Any help appreciated.

Wonder if anyone can help.

I have the marriage certificate in French of Joseph Junilion & Ann Lenox from St Patrick's RC Cathedral, Halifax, N.S. 12/10/1814 giving their parents as Louis Junilion & Marie Dubois of Paris, France and Charles & Jeanne Lenox of Halifax. The brides brother Charles Lenox was a witness.
The surname is variously spelled as Junilion, Julian & De Junio.

Of their children Jean was bap. St Patrick's 7/10 bur. there 10/10/1817. Another daughter Mary Jean (called Jane) was my 2 x gt grandmother and born Halifax about 1821. Their was a brother John Joseph who marr. Catherine Gordon, St Patrick's 4/2/1845.

I have recently found another 2 brothers Maximilian Junio (b. Halifax 1829) & Joseph Junio (b. Halifax 1822), cigar makers, in Massachusetts (Family Search). Maximilian's death cert. states his parents were Ann Lennox & Louis Junio (of France), so they are fairly certainly brothers of Mary Jean, although Louis was a mistake?. They all seemed to live in or around Charlestown, Mass. There is also a Louis Junio born ca. 1829 died Charlestown 1905 who was another possible brother???

Can anyone suggest where I can contact/search for the R.C. births of these children in Halifax. There is nothing on-line to help.

Thanks,

Craig

Wonder if someone can help.

I'm trying to find out what happened to the family of Hannah Wood & Samuel Wilson (Mercer) of Gloucester. They were married at St Michael's, Gloucester 18/3/1749 and according to the IGI had at least 5 children John 1750, Elizabeth 1752, Hannah 1753, Hannah 1757 & Jane 1759, all bap. at St Michael's.
Samuel's will was dated 18/3/1779 & Hannah's on 8/6/1789 and they both seem to have been buried in a vault in the church of St mary Le Crypt, Gloucester.
I have a copy of Hannah's will and there is no mention of any children, although other relatives are mentioned.
If anyone has access to the St Michael's & the St Mary Le Crypt records could they do a search for the family between 1750 & 1789.
I'd be very grateful.

Hello,

I wonder if anyone has access to any of the New York/Manhattan BMD records.
An ancestor Anthony Ellis Hitchings (b. 1800) emigrated to New York 25/3/1835 with his wife Harriet Thomas & 4 children Charles Frederick b 1822, Anthony Ellis b 1824 d. NY 1847, Harriet Matilda b 1827 & Elizabeth Jane b 1831.

Harriet must have died sometime between 1835 - 1850 when Anthony senior had married for a 2nd time to Hannah or Nancy b. Massachusets 1805, surname unknown.
I'm interested to find Anthony's death/burial details and his 2nd marriage details.

Also his elder son Charles Fred. married Hannah Drew in NY 17/1/1850. They had at least 8 children, Harriet, Elizabeth, Charles, Hannah, Edward, Emma, Joseph & Lucie. I'd like to find their birth details.

Any help with these would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Craig
