1910 Census Lookup, Please
« on: Thursday 22 January 09 16:54 GMT (UK) »

Hi

On the 1910 index I can see a Ralph W ST HILL, white, born 1874, immigrated 1901, living in New York, widower, father born West Indies, mother born England, son-in-law ... to the NASTs?

He should be born in Wellington, New Zealand with father's given names of Henry Woodford and mother as Mary Anne.  He married in 1907, his wife died in 1909 and he may have a young daughter, Edith.

Could any of these details be confirmed/denied, please?    :)

With thanks
Koromo

1910 Census, Brooklyn, New York, 51 Quincy St.

Nast, Sarah, head, female, white, age 68, widowed, parent of 5 children, 3 of whom are living, b. Pennsylvania, parents b. Engl., no occupation

son Cyril, age 30, single, b. New Jersey, father b. Germany, mother b. Pennsylvania, occupation - Ad. Dept. Manager, electric company

St. Hill, Ralph W., son-in-law, male, white, age 36, widowed, for place of birth New Zealand was crossed out and possibly Canada was written in above, father born Br. West Indies, mother born Eng., immigrated 1901, alien, occupation - reporter, newspaper

St. Hill, Thomas N., grandson, male, white, age 15, single, born New Jersey, father born (New Zealand crossed out, something else written in), mother b. New York, no occupation


I found likely matches for Ralph on a number of passenger lists.  I also found a few that matched Thomas with a California address and said he was born 14 Mar 1895 in East Orange, New Jersey.  The California death index at rootsweb.com has a Thomas Nast Sthill, born 3/14/1895 in New Jersey and died in Mendocino on 9/10/1985.  His mother's maiden name was Nast.

Hiya Shelly

Has to be the one! Although Ralph was born in NZ, he was sent to school in England and on other records he says he's English.

Very many thanks for the info.

Added: LOL! I think we were both modifying our posts at the same time!

The name Thomas Nast St Hill cannot be at all common, so I'm sure the death in California is the stepson.

The IGI has a marriage for Ralph Woodford ST HILL to Edith Nost PORTER in 1907 in Manhatten. Ralph's place of birth is New Lerand! Mistranscriptions all round.  :D

Thanks again.
Regards
K.
