41-18 Vernon Blvd, Long Island, New York City, US
« on: Thursday 24 December 20 23:49 GMT (UK) »
Hi folks,

Can anyone please tell me if there's a way of finding who lived at;

41-18 Vernon Blvd, Long Island, New York City, US in 1959

A few years either side may do?

I have Lachlan MacKinnon travelling there in 1959 from London, England & I know he had a sister Christina who was married to Norman Griffin Miller who may have been at that address?

That would be Long Island City, a neighborhood in the Borough of Queens, NY, located on the east side of the East River, across from Manhattan.

I haven't found a city directory that covers that time period yet.
Wiltshire:  Banks, Taylor
Somerset:  Duddridge, Richards, Barnard, Pillinger
Gloucestershire:  Barnard, Marsh, Crossman
Bristol:  Banks, Duddridge, Barnard
Down:  Ennis, McGee
Wicklow:  Chapman, Pepper
Wigtownshire:  Logan, Conning
Wisconsin:  Ennis, Chapman, Logan, Ware
Maine:  Ware, Mitchell, Tarr, Davis

Hi Erato,

Yes, indeed, on the East River which I found out through good old Mr G when I came across the address.

It would just be nice to confirm his connection to the address at the time.

I have info. which suggests he was married at some point which I'm trying to establish & wondered if the journey was after the death of a/his 'wife'?

Lachlin died in 1965 in Rochford, Essex, England although I've not found anything regarding a 'wife' yet.

This appears to be your Lachlan MacKinnon.  The names mentioned and the date (1959) match, but this not 41-18 Vernon Blvd, Long Island, New York City.

Stanfordville is a town in Dutchess County, New York, which is north of New York City. 

At the bottom of the article it does say Lachlan MacKinnon has been a guest here (Stanfordville) and in New York City. I assume that place in New York City is the address you mentioned?

Thanks RJ...both nice additions which fill gaps!

I knew Christina lived to be over 100 so this is good but although I knew the name of Margaret's husband (have their marriage details), I was unaware of when/where she died as I'm only going through the siblings now.

This appears to be your Lachlan MacKinnon.  The names the date (1959) match, but this not 41-18 Vernon Blvd, Long Island, New York City.

From the link, it appears sister Margaret Nicholson was at Vernon Blvd which ties in nicely.

I also know their sister Effie/Euphemia married Floyd B Miller 1969 California but I haven't been able to verify whether he was a brother of Norman G as I haven't yet found their marriage although my research is ongoing for now?

Thanks Barry, I do have images from my earlier research as the 1st thing I did when I found the address was to ask Mr Go ogle  ;)

Thanks all for the help so far as it's much appreciated.
