Find Ancestors

Percy Archibald's WW1 service records are available to view on National Archives of Australia.

It's a waste of time me posting a link to them as it times out after an hour or so. To find them use this link putting Woodward in the name box and selecting WW1 records from the drop down menu.

http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/NameSearch/Interface/NameSearchForm.aspx

There's a poignant handwritten note from his mother on page 27 of the records.

so there's still no way to know whether they married there or in NYC, since they were in NYC in 1910 ... although the child who died in Sept 1910 was born in April 1910 apparently in Cleveland ('City' usually refers to the city where something is being recorded) ... but that was not necessarily accurate ...

it does seem slightly more likely that they would have gone to NYC as a couple rather than meeting there, maybe


here's something on Percy you may not know ... he went to Australia ... and sadly he died in WWI

This might be the same woman on the 1900 census that Joonie posted. There are a lot of immigration/passport application records for her

Re: the JT Woodward passenger list referred to by JoonieCloonie - that man was listed as an Alien passenger on the departure list and was travelling with a Mrs Woodward.

The ship was the Celtic departing Liverpool 16/07/1908 and arriving New York 25/07/1908. The arrivals list confirms him as US citizen John Taylor Woodward aged 47 and wife Alma Woodward aged 30.

So we can count him out!

since the children in the censuses, and the child born and died in 1910, were born in Ohio (although oddly the couple was in NYC in 1910), I wonder whether this is wife Marie Cramer in 1900

... I wonder whether Ohio is where they would have married ... or whether they married in NYC and promptly resettled in Ohio ...

might he have been the JT Woodward who travelled from Liverpool to NY in 1908? ... I don't pay to see record details at findmypast

Thank you mgnv I had looked at the 1910 census and disregarded it...I was wrong to have done that.

Can anyone suggest where I could look for their marriage please.
