George S Martin and Mary Jane Pope

[oldohiohome]

I didn't find Mary J Pope anywhere in the US before her marriage. And I didn't find George S Martin anywhere either. If he was born in Canada, wouldn't there be a record of him entering the US also? Mary J Martin's says 'accompanied by husband', but if he was not a US citizen, wouldn't there be a separate record for him? Or one in his name saying he was accompanied by her? I'm not sure.
   
George is not in the 1940 Seymour City Directory or the 1940 and 1941 Ansonia Directory. His death record might give his parents' names and maybe his place of birth.

I looked at veromi.net for William Ross Martin and none of the results looked promising. You can take a look yourself. The men in the 70s are, for the most part, in states you probably wouldn't retire to if you lived in Maine. None in Maine itself. One in Richmond, VA, but his former residences look like New Jersey, and he is linked to people name Ross, not Martin, so there might be some confusion on veromi's part. It happens on the people finder sites sometimes.

I tried William R Martin in Maine, and the results were even less promising.

I think it will be difficult to find him, but happy hunting anyway.

If nothing further does materialise on here. There are a couple of RAOGK volunteers who will research in Maine. Second and eighth on the lists with this link.  Might be worth an e-mail

Still no birth location for George S or parents.  Knowing birth around 1902 may yield results in Canada.  I can find no reason Mary Jane would have been in that part of US in order to meet George Martin

Here is George's WWII Draft. States he was born in Ansonia, CT. It's available at Fold3 for free. Just use the element blocker on your adblocker to eliminate the ad block as well the blurred screen they use to tease you with to join. Then you can often see the records at Fold3.

=============================

This would be his family in the 1900 census living in Ansonia, CT. His parents are William & Annie and he has a sister Annie L. (b.1899).

It appears the family moved to New Brunswick, Canada. Looks like that was where they were originally from.  Here they are in the 1911 census with son George S. plus others born since the 1900 census. Census gives his birth, as well as his twin's birth as Aug. 1902, which matches his DOB on death WWII & Death record.

The census states he & his twin were born in New Brunswick, Canada, but I believe that to be an error.

George's twin sister Georgia died in 1965. DOB listed as August 25, 1902, Ansonia, CT. This matches the known information for George S Martin.
