Are there 2 Emma SEITAS born new york
« on: Thursday 08 July 21 17:06 BST (UK) »
Emma SEITAS married john Thompson on 29th oct 1911 Manhattan new York

They had baby Mildred in 1912

In 1920 they have 3 children
Emma born new york parents born Germany

John a sign hanger born 1882  new york father born ireland
Mother new Jersey

There is an Emma SEITAS with parents herman + sofia born Germany in 1900+ 1905
But in 1915 they have a single daughter emma with them and no sign of baby Mildred

But i cant find alternative Emma SEITAS

Any ideas ?

Thanks so much RJ
MY internet connection is very unstable today but i hope to be able to check out those refs

So the Emma im looking at may be SEILAS and the other one SEITAS
* No actually the SEITAS. Spelling is the most consistant .

Having her parents name led to Emma's correct birthdate 6 july 1885

I wish  her husband's ancestors could be so clear
Trying to find the irish link to match a DNA link

The family search tree says he is john joseph THOMPSON jr with father john joseph THOMPSON sr born 1860 new York but all census records say father born Ireland
It gives mother as Ellen Shwin
A tree has her as Ellen Sherwin
But this couple dont seem to have Irish connections

John Sr's death record has his parents as John Thompson & Elizabeth/Betty Winterbottom of Ireland.

I see a Bidelia Thompson born in 1865 Ireland with those parents names.

Birth:
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FR9V-KRS
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QP8G-W3J8

Also, I see an Elizabeth Finley, who died in NY in 1923. She was born in 1857 with parents of the same names.

Death: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:2WB5-BV7

The ages are in the same time span with John Sr's, so I assume they may be his sisters?

Thanks again
I found john + nellie with his mother in law ellen SMITH so thought SHerwin was a mistake
She appears as Ellen Thompson sometimes as Nellie

I thought it was two different wives

On marriage surname transcribed as SHERIDEN
 childrens deaths or births spelling very varied mothers maiden name Sherin Shwin sherwin first name Ellin ella nellie.

But ive not seen originals

Im cross checking everything now
There are a lot of THOMPSON women
John and Emma SEITAS had 3 girls
He.,had 7 sisters who survived into adult hood
No brothers
Tho Adelaide was transcribed as son Adly age 15 in 1905

Thanks for the family search finds
Proving the Irish link

 Bedelia is an unusual name .there is a Bedelia Thompson in Lancashire England of rright  age but I didn't find her or siister Elizabeth ( Finley) with parents john and Elizabeth winterbottom on irish  census
