Josiah Edward Glasse was born in London in 1824. He became a brass finisher and later a gasfitter. In 1848 he married Janet Yuill and they emigrated to America, arriving in 1948 on the 'Yorktown'. In 1850 they were in New York City with son Josiah, aged 1. This child died the following year, and another son, Thomas Allan, was born in 1851. They then returned to London, where three daughters were born, Amy Mary in 1853, Isabella Ada in 1855 and Jessie b and d 1856. Janet Yuill or Glasse died in London in 1859. In 1861 and 1871 Josiah, Thomas, Amy and Isabella were in the census in London.
Later in 1871 Josiah married Jessie Simpson in Glasgow. In 1880 Josiah and Jessie were in Buffalo City, Erie County, New York. In 1892 and 1890 Josiah and his daughter Isabella and his sister Sarah were in Buffalo, and in 1910 Josiah was in a church charity home in Buffalo. Isabella died in 1936 or 1937 in Buffalo. (Thomas and Amy remained in England.)
I'm interested in knowing the dates and places of death of Josiah himself and of his second wife, Jessie Simpson or Glasse.
I've had a look online, and the rules for getting a NY State death certificate appear to preclude me from applying for one (I am related to Jessie Simpson or Glasse, but not closely enough to qualify). I found some sites with Erie County/Buffalo City deaths etc, but the ones that weren't blocked by Peter Lowe's malicious web site warning service didn't list either Josiah or Jessie.
I can manage without the certificate, but would very much like to have the basic death information.
Any suggestions?
