searching for cousins
« on: Tuesday 23 June 15 12:03 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone, I'm new here, I've been researching my family for a number of years, I hope someone can help me, my grandparents on my dad's side moved to the US with 3 or 4 of their children, my dad tracked one down, Peter R.Virgo, ( DOB 1933) I have since found out he died in 2011, he lived in derby, CT, along with his wife. He worked as a forensic police photographer, I'm trying to find out about their children who would be my dad's cousins, I know they had children but can't find anything.
I can post more but limited information that I have if required.

Thanks people :)

Have you found an obituary for Peter or his wife?

I think that Peter was married to Agnes (1933-2013) when he died (married 1972) but I also think that he was married in 1957.  Not found the marriage (Connecticut marriages only start in 1958 on A..ty).  However it looks like they were divorced in 1970 (A..ty) and at that time they had 4 children.  You probably have this information but it always helps to start the ball rolling.

Unable to open the announcement but here is the announcement of the marriage of Peter:  https://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=%22Peter+Ronald+Charles+Virgo%22+OR+%22Peter+Ronald+Charles+*+Virgo%22+OR+%22Virgo,+Peter+Ronald+Charles%22&gws_rd=cr,ssl&ei=T4OJVeOFO6a67ga6iZvICw

There is a tree on ancestry showing the first marriage and the 4 children.

After divorce the children would usually stay with the mother and that is more likely the line to follow.

Think you will need to look for a marriage for a Robert F Pyle, 16 June 1973, Connecticut.  Robert died in 1999.

Some googling on white pages will show a connection between the names Pyle & Virgo

RayDen thanks for the reply, youare correct, Agnes was his wife, I was unaware that he was married previously, thank you for that :)

Hi Phill

Not sure if you have been able to follow my clues, but if not if you send another posting I will be able to send a pm with a possible up to date phone number for a son of Peter and his first wife.

Hi Ray, I managed to look at the link you sent, have just tried looking through white pages, can't really find anything, maybe it's just me searching wrong, might have to activate my ancestry subscription again and find the tree you mentioned :)
