COMPLETED- The Close Family of Co. Down
« on: Saturday 29 May 04 13:49 BST (UK) »
Hi There,

Wondering if anyone has information on the Close Family? Looking for ancestors specific to James Watson Close and Susannah Hedley m. 1866.  I know that their son James Watson and his wife emmigrated to Canada in the 1920's, when they did, at least 1 of their 11 children stayed in Belfast, CAROLINE HARRIET, who married a William Crowe.  They had at least 2 children that I am aware of, Caroline, probably b. around 1937 and a Thomas who looks to have been born in the 40"s according to the picture we have.  Any one have any insight?

Hello there,

Actually, you can probably remove this posting as I have been fortunate enough in the last few months to locate the parties I was looking for.

Thanking you in advance

Hi Wendy

Good news that you've found what you're looking for.  Perhaps, rather than delete the post you would like to post a few brief details of what you have discovered, for others who may be interested.  Its up to you of course, but we generally don't delete postings.  :)

Best wishes

Hi Ticker,

Thanks for the info....have found living relatives in Belfast, and have been able to re-establish family contact that was lost when most of the family immigrated to Canada 76yrs ago. 

All the Best
