COMPLETE MANY THANKSJohn Campbell Findley/Finley

[*Sandra*]

In reply 21 I just put a link to the 1910 census but I began to wonder what information it gave with regard to how many marriages George Campbell Findlay in particular had  - so this is the detail.  The immigration date would fit with the George in Pennsylvania and perhaps that D is for divorce for Margaret on the 1900 Census 

Greensboro, Hale, Alabama in 1910

Georgie Findlay 60 Immigrated 1871. Marriage 2 for 10 years. Plummer Electric Co.
Lucy M Findlay 40 Born Alabama.

Hi Sandra,
                 George Findlay and Margaret also had a son Charles b c 1871 in Pennsylvania well eventually I tracked him down
he died in Philadelphia Pennsylvania on 11 September 1907 he was single his father George Findlay mother Margaret McHardie
they were married in 1868 Dundee Scotland their son George born there in 1869.
George on the marriage certificate  is George Campbell Findlay son of Andrew Findlay and Janet Campbell he is actually a cousin of  John Campbell Findlay who I was searching for at the start of this forum.

Regards,

Hi Suzilad,

Excellent - thought there was some sort of a link but didn 't have time to investigate further today. Wouldn't be surprised if there were more Findlay connections in the USA.

I live in Tuscaloosa, (Tuscaloosa county) Alabama, which is immediately north of Hale county and just a few miles from Moundville and a few more miles from Greensboro.  If there is anything I can do to help from this end I would be glad to do so though it does seem as if you are doing very well without me!
Btw there are lots of Findley, Findlay, Finley etc. families here and also Mayfields. Some of them may be able to help you also (if we can find the right one.)
Let me know if there is nything I can do (after the holidays.) Happy Christmas!  HB

Hello...I'm writing to clarify the information regarding Carl Peter Leibold (my great uncle). He was born to Anton Leibold and Emma Gottschall Leibold on 18 Apr 1882 in Peru, LaSalle County, Illinois. He married Adaline Lovett Findley in Birmingham, Jefferson County, Alabama on 17 Sep 1916. Carl Peter Leibold died in Birmingham, Jefferson County, Alabama on 22 Jun 1954 and is buried in Elmwood Cemetery in Birmingham, Alabama. He earned his degree in Electrical Engineering from Ohio State University. Thought that this post could use additional information. Feel free to reach out to me.

Daughter Adeline Lovett Findlay born 1885 married Carl Peter Leibold 17 September 1916 Birmingham. Jefferson. Alabama.
