Find Ancestors

Yes, I have the social security records but nothing to tie them together except their last names and burial place.

No records on Eleanore - they are buried close to each other and I took the grave photos in my local cemetery for findagrave. Sometimes I like to do a little bio if the info is easily available - which in this case it isn't, apparently!

I think he was a chemist who spent time abroad - that's why we're not seeing him on census records - possibly. And he may have married abroad.

What records do you have on Eleanore? - I'll see if I can tie them up.

EDIT: Is this her?

Thanks for that - very helpful! He's associated with an Eleanore who's about 25 years younger - not sure if it's his wife or daughter!

I'm looking for more info on Richard M (Mark?) Sherton, 1896-1960 - would be interested in anything anybody can find re birth, death, marriage, etc. His basic info is on findagrave.com but I know there are a few records available elsewhere on passenger lists and WWII draft registration. Try searching with and without the M in the middle!

Thanks so much!
