Hi Sandra.
These are great, thank you. I had some of the info, but this has embroidered it!!!!!!!!!!
I see in Emma Harrington's obit it says she is survived by one brother "Ernie" in England (the old family name of Ernest), I have him.
There was one other brother Alfred, who we now know pre deceased Emma in 1975. He was born abt 1897, Swanley, Kent. I have struggled with his birth as several possibilities?


It is looking like this is him because bapt is Swanley, Kent:-

What do you think?

Thanks Doidy

Next child of Hannah Pope & James Harrington that I have problems with is George Harringtton born 1872 Bow, Middx. I have him right through to 1911 when he is living in Chiselhurst, Kent. He married Emma Bicknell,I think it looks like she died in 1946, Bromley, Kent. I have 3 of their 4 children (one died pre 1911 census, so don't know name).

After 1911 George & Emma vanish except for Emma's possible death as above. If that is her death, where were they/she in 1939? Their daughter Emma married to Dennis John Creagh  does end up in Canada by the time her third child is born in 1925 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. But if they went to, that wouldn't account for the possible death for Emma nee Bicknell in 1949?

Any help appreciated please.

Hi Sandra.
Many thanks for that.
Now I have just perused all the info I have again, before I press the merge button for Clarence L Hummer, husband of Pauline Smith & Clarence Leroy Hummer, husband of Florence Fehr Rodgers. Apart from all the dates being feasible, I have spotted two more clues. The obit for Pauline Hummer nee Smith's father gives her as Mrs Pauline Hummer of Riegelsville.

Now the obit for Clarence Leroy Hummer says he worked at the Riegal paper mill co for 32 years before retiring in 1976. We know he was a barman when conscripted in 1940. So another manual job seems probable. The location fits with Pauline's father's obit's mention of her as Mrs Pauline Hummer of Riegelsville.

Pauline Smith & Florence's first husband Hubert Fred Rodgers were first cousins one removed.

Eureka?? Can I press the merge button for Clarence L Hummer & Clarence Leroy Hummer???

Still struggling to confirm these two Clarence L Hummer's are one and same.
I am now in touch with a son of widow Florence, who he says married Clarence L Hummer in 1969, Easton, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. He knows nothing abt Clarence.

Now it has come to my attention that Clarence Leroy Hummer that married Florence was born in Phillipsburg, N.J.

Now Pauline Smith Hummer, wife of Clarence L Hummer, she died in Phillipsburg. That is something of a coincidence! So the marriage between Pauline Smith & Clarence L Hummer abt 1942, was probably Phillipsburg??

I just need something that clarifies that Clarence's dob or parents to confirm he is one and same as Clarence Leroy Hummer. Amazingly it isn't such a rare name as I thought.

Any help appreciated please.

Hi Sandra.
Once again thank you. The jigsaw is slowly knitting together. Someone on Ancestry obviously had the wrong husband by the wrong date.
It is quite amazing as Viola was 66 when she married Henry, her 2nd or third marriage & his first at 40 ish. At least I can safely assume there were no children!
It would of been good to find them in 1930 census, but I can only find 1940?
Anyway, once again I am very appreciative of all your help. Doidy
