Stephen,

Any idea where they might've gone to? US or Canada?

Hi Tracy,

I am looking for a marriage of Alexander CHIVAS and Margaret DONALDSON both born in Scotland. Their families had immigrated to London Ontario, but I am not sure if that is where they married. I am pretty sure that it was 1912c as their first child was born in Canada in 1914, and US 1920 census shows she was 18 years old when she married (her birth year 1894, confirming 1912 marriage date).

Many thanks for your kind offer

Hi Joy,

Had a look in NJ marriages for 1864-1895 they dont cover ESSEX or HUDSON.. No wonder why I couldn't spot their marriage :(

Hi Rachel,

This all I came across..

Washington Births, 1907-1919

Name Birth Date Gender Birth Location Father's name Mother's name

Paul Llewellyn 15 Feb 1906 Male Pierce Gwillyn Llewellyn Agnes Clark

Not sure if that's yours or you know about this? Someone or you submitted the tree

Family Tree

Gwilym Llewellyn
Birth: 1883 - Pennsylvania
Spouse: Rosie Peek

Parents was William and Catherine. But it states that Rosie and Gwilym had a daughter born 1908 remembering that you said that Gwilym didnt go back to US abt 1905 or so.

Sorry for not being able to help.

Here's 1870..

So many possibilies..

1870

Name Home in 1870 (City, County, State) Estimated birth year Birthplace Race Gender


Emma R Ball South Orange, Essex, NJ abt 1864 New Jersey White Female
Emma E Ball Jersey City Ward 11, Hudson, NJ abt 1865 New York White Female

You don't have any idea when Thomas imigrated to US?

If not, I'll try immigration with his birth year place of birth and see what comes up

Hi Tracy

I really do not know, wish I did. I am pretty sure that Emma died between 1889 and 1899. I have so little to go on.

It is possible that the Emma on the 1860 census is the right one as the age sounds about right.. Maybe if I could find a marraige certificate things would become clearer-that is assuming that Thomas and Emma were married.

I really appreciate your efforts.

Other Emma's in NJ

1860 Census

Name Home in 1860 (City,County,State) Age in 1860 Birth Year Birthplace

Emma F Ball Clinton, Essex, NJ 17 abt 1843 New Jersey Female
Emma Ball Manchester, Passaic, NJ 5 abt 1855 New Jersey Female
Emma E Ball Westfield, Union, NJ 13 abt 1847 New Jersey Female

Joy,

This is from 1860 Census

Emma Ball Bloomfield, Essex, NJ 3 abt 1857 New Jersey Female

What do you think..?

Hi Tracy

I do not know her date of birth, but Thomas was born in 1859 in Kilmarnock Scotland. He remarried in Scotland in 1900, on his death certificate in 1901 Emma Ball is one of two widows named., so maybe she was around the same age as him.

As Lavinia is quite an unusual name I looked up Lavinia Ball on familysearch, as she may have been named after her Granny. There was a Lavina Ball born to Isaac Ball and Sarah Jacobus in Bloomfield Essex New Jersey in 1814. I am trying to find a needle in a haystack, but just maybe-a big maybe Isaac and Sarah are the correct family.

Thanks for your time
Joy

Hi Joy,

Any idea of Emma's apporx year of birth?

Hi Miah,

I'm afraid this is all I have on Claude MONCKTON

Canadian Soldiers of World War I, 1914-1918

Name Birth Date Residence Relative

Claude Monckton 16 Jan 1887 M Monckton
Claude Monckton 16 Jan 1888 Mrs Margaret Monckton

I can send you the images of his records if needed? Both are same people but at different time.

Sorry,

T

Hi Tracy

Thanks for the kind offer. Could you please do a search for me. I will give as much info as I can.

My gr gr grandmother was born in Harrison, Hudson, New Jersey.
Name: Lavinia Highet/Lovinia Hyatt
Born according to mormon record 20th Nov 1889
Father: Thomas Highet/Hyatt-he was born Kilmarnock Scotland
Mother Emma Ball- To family knowledge born in New Jersey

At times Highet was known as Highgate.

Lavinia and her father returned to Scotland in time for 1901 census.

I would also like to find a death for Emma, and marraige cert for Emma and Thomas. This side of my family are proving to be quite a mystery.

Thanks
Joy

Hi
I wondered if you could find any information on my great uncle.
Claude Richard Monckton b1888 Chippenham, Wiltshire, England.

The Times dated Friday 29th 1912 notes his marriage banns to Margaret Thompson married on 8th November 1912 All Saints Parish Church, Edmonton by Reverend Canon Webb.

The last trace I have of him is a piece written in the Times - stated he was married and living in Edmonton Canada. Injured during the war fighting alongside the Canadians unable to attend his mother's funeral due to being in hospital with injuries - mother's funeral was 1919.

I cannot trace him any further no children, divorce or death.

Any little information to get past this brick wall would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

Hi Lesley,

There are so many Margaret Taylor with approx year.. Most of them says Widowed or Married - no one else with her in many passengers list. So I cant pick one out and say it's her.

Sorry,

T

Margaret Taylor's birth was 1863 in Whitechapel London.

Hi Lesley,

Don't think Canada have Nova Scotia Births. No idea of Margaret's birth year??

Stephen,
