Need Advice on searching for marriage in Windsor/Walkerville 1920-30s

PLeavett — 26 Nov 2008 6:29:23 GMT

We have hit a total brickwall! Re: Alice Louisa Richman nee Wilson, my great grandmother. She was born Aug 17 1862 in England. She came to Canada with her husband Alfred in 1912. Alfred worked at the Ford Motor Company, but died in 1919 during the Spanish Influenza Epidemic. We have found his burial at Windsor Grove Cemetery, but Alice is not buried with him.
Alice Louisa is rumoured to have remarried, possibly to a Rudd,Rude,Rudge,Rhude? Keep in mind she was already 57 when Alfred died in 1919, so I think it unlikely she would have married much later than 1930. We have a photo of her taken in what appears to be late 1920s or early 1930s.
How would you find a possible marriage? I can find no Indexes for this era in Ontario.
I look forward to some great suggestions from those more familiar with Ontario records.

John Barr - Emigrated from Belfast 1923

itbarr — 19 Nov 2008 8:44:07 GMT

I live in Northern Ireland and have been researching my family history. One surprise I found is a great-uncle, John Nathaniel Barr, that I didn't know I had. My grandmother did give me a clue in saying he emigrated to Canada. I have since found that he left here for Canada in 1923. It seems he returned to Belfast in 1932 for a few months, at which time his address is given as 1009 Howard Avenue, Windsor, Ontario.

I'm not sure where to go from here. I'd like to know what became of him and whether he ever had a family. It would be great to get in touch with any Canadian cousins I might have. I wonder could you give me any pointers to help me take this further.

Kind regards,
Ivan

PS. Here is some mroe detail on what I know thus far:

John Nathaniel Barr born 24th Nov 1897 at Somerset, Coleraine, County Londonderry. His father was David Barr, a gardener and his mother was Annie McKinley. He was the youngest of five. His siblings were Elizabeth, Annie, Margaret and David George.

I have found the family on the 1901 and 1911 Irish census. I have also found that John signed up with the 11th Battalion of the Royal Irish Rifles in 1914. He saw service in France with the Ulster Division. and I have managed to find his service record.

After the war he returned to the family who then were living at 8 Marlborough Gardens, Belfast. I have record of him there in January 1923 when he was refused a pension for injuries sustained during the war.

I then find him on a passenger list leaving Belfast in November 1923. He is bound for Quebec. I also have found a passenger list for 1932 with him returning to Canada after a trip home. The details on that are:

SS Duchess of York sailing from Belfast 23rd Sept 1932 arriving at Quebec 30th Sept 1932.

John Barr travelling alone, 34 years old, single, born Coleraine Co. Derry, NI, British nationality, Irish race, previous residency in Canada, Dec 1923-June 1932 at 1009 Howard Ave., Windsor, Ont., occupation saleman, returning home (to address given), passport 32752 issued Ottawa 11/6/1932

marriage lookup: John Mullins and Julia Sheehan, c. 1852 (St Simon/St Jude?)

mcmoran154 — 8 Nov 2008 2:18:34 GMT

I'm looking for the marriage record for John Mullins, son of Edmond Mullins and Bridget Kennedy, and Julia Ann Sheehan (possibly the daughter of Timothy Sheehan and Mary Sullivan). Roman Catholic, in Rochester township, Essex Co., supposed to have married in May 1852.

I have online access (here at ancestry.ca) to the parish register of St. Simon and St. Jude, Belle-Rivière, Essex from 1858, where some of the church records for this family are found. However, apparently the Drouin Institute microfilmed this register starting from 1840. If anyone has access to the earlier records for this parish and can look this up for me, I would be very grateful.

1911 Canadian census lookup

couchresearch — 29 Aug 2008 1:05:33 GMT

Am looking for help in searching for Reuben S. Tink and his new wife, Jennie (Couch) Tink as a married couple on the 1911 Canadian census and who both may have lived in the Essex County area after being married in Huron County, Ontario.

Head: Reuben S. Tink, b. 1861, Flamboro, Hamilton, Wentworth County, Ontario, Canada

Wife: Elizabeth (Eliza) Jane (Jennie) Couch, b. November 22, 1869, Exeter, Usborne Township, South Huron County, Ontario, Canada

Children: unknown

Marriage: February 16, 1904, Huron County, at Exeter, Reuben was widower 43 years of age and Jennie was widower 35 years of age at time of marriage

Jennie Couch appears on the 1901 Hibbert Township, Perth County, Ontario, Canadian census living with her parents Joseph & Hannah Couch; her first name Jennie is spelled incorrectly as Jimie (daughter). She then marries Reuben S. Tink in 1904 in Huron County; a neighboring community.

Jennie had a previous marriage January 26, 1887 to James Bell, b. 1845 who also had a previous marriage in November 18, 1864, Perth County Ontario to Margaret Hamilton, b. 1844
Reuben S. Tink (other possible spelling Tinck) had a previous marriage May 27, 1895 to Jessie McKenzie, in Essex County, but had also married the same Jessie McKenzie back in October 12, 1887 in Essex County and also had a previous marriage before that to Hannah Brown August 5, 1879 in Wentworth County. Reuben and Hannah (Brown) Tink had one known child together, Eliza Whilemena Tinck, b. October 3, 1879 Wentworth County

Reuben S. Tink is said to have worked on the railway in Wentworth County, for a railway company based out of Galveston, Indiana, USA.

Hickson's of Mersea

megancull — 20 Aug 2008 2:30:48 GMT

I've been able to dig back to Joseph Hickson (b abt 1801 in Essex). I think he married someone named Wealthy and they had Lorenzo (1837), Adeline (1939) and Hiram (1842). Lorenzo married Ruth Coulter (b 1840) and had Joseph, Asilla, Leonard, Elizabeth, Charles, Amelia, William, Robert Nelson, Effe, Milton, Gorden, and James Wallace. Leonard (my gggrandfather) immigrated to Michigan around 1905.

Other known links to area include surnames - Hatt, Dean, Lounsbury, Stockwell, Cole, Wales, Reid, Wickwine, and Bowen.

My great-aunt indicated that she had contact with Hickson's still living in Mersae. Anyone know if they are still there?

BLANDEN / BLANDON WINDSOR, ONTARIO

brassfieldthorpe — 22 Jun 2006 2:46:10 GMT

I'm trying to locate information on my great aunt CHARLOTTE ROSE STURLEY who married a FRANK BLANDON/BLANDEN and emigrated to Canada. Charlotte (or Lot, Lottie) was born 1890 in Poplar, London and I think Frank was also English.

They returned to England when Lot was diagnosed with cancer and she died June 1938. Frank returned to Canada. They didn't have any children. We have a photo of them as living in Windsor, Ontario and apparently they talked about going across to shop in Detroit. This Frank may have been in insurance and perhaps also local politics.

Can anyone help with this please. My mum was named after her so I'd really like to solve the mystery.
Thanks

Any information/contacts re: James SPARROW, b. 1829, probably in Quebec - possibly in Huntingdon/Gore area. (SPARROW brothers James, Jonathan, other?, came to Quebec in 1824; James [b. 1781 Londonderry, IR, m. Martha DOUGLAS(S)-her name and Mary Ann's are apparently coincidence - and Martha were parents of James, b. 1829.) James married Mary Ann DOUGLAS(S) ca. 1850; she MAY be daughter of John DOUGLAS(S). Children (all apparently born in Quebec or Ontario between ca. 1850 - 1869) were: Robert, Matilda, James, Catherine, Ellen Eliza Jane, Benjamin, Margaret, William. Mary Ann died 1870, James remarried, one son, Fred, b. 1875. James is listed in 1871 Ontario census as living in Mersea, but probably lived before this time in Wheatley/Leamington area. James came to Wayne County, MI, in 1880 to live with daughter Ellen GERMAN. Surname SNODGRASS is connected to above families, but don't know how yet. Will share any information; thanks.

Black History & Research - DAVENPORT, William & Sarah

PamTessier99 — 5 Jun 2008 11:00:54 GMT

I'd like to put a few historical questions to the researchers of Essex County. I have been researching a Black family who resided in the Amherstburg area in the years between 1810 and 1819. William and Sarah Davenport and William's brother Benjamin eventually settled in Simcoe County about 1825 where they prospered. When their children were baptised in St. James Church in York in 1829, the priest recorded the birth place for at least four of the children as Amherstburg. In 1819, while he was residing in York, William made a claim for a land grant based on his service in the War of 1812 although no record exists of his service.
I am aware that Lt.-Col. Richard Davenport of the Kentucky Volunteers was also in Amherstburg at this time and saw action at the Battle of the Thames so I am presently looking into his history. It is possible he 'lost' a few of his slaves who were part of his retinue and they took his surname as their own.
I am planning a research trip back to Essex County but thought I would first see if the listers would have any ideas. I have contacted the Amherstburg Black Historical Museum and am awaiting a reply. The big questions: are there records of these early settlers in A'Burg and are they accessible? Am I chasing moonbeams with the Kentucky officer theory?
Any thoughts or direction will certainly be appreciated.

Marriage in December 1874

KimRunkel — 30 May 2008 8:25:23 GMT

Another question. What would be some reasons for a couple traveling all the way from Colchester to Detroit so they can marry on Dec. 30, 1874?
I know one reason is her parents did not approve of the groom. But why in the middle of winter? And couldn't they find a minister closer to perform the ceremony? Is Detroit a romantic honeymoon spot?
Just an attempt to understand how things were done and what people thought in that time period.

Catholic questions 1870's to 1905

KimRunkel — 24 May 2008 3:17:46 GMT

I have a couple questions about the Catholic Church in Essex co. in the 1870's to 1905.
In my family tree I have James Butler, a Baptist who married Annie Donley, an Irish Catholic in Detroit 1874 by a minister. They live near Amherstburg. I'm guessing her father didn't approve, so they went to Detroit to marry. (Her sister Esther was married in St. Jean Baptiste Catholic Church in Amherstburg.)
From the 1881 census it appears James & Annie's children are raised as Baptists. But in 1905 Adrian, MI one child Forrest marries a Catholic girl Cordelia Meldrum, marriage performed by a Catholic priest.
Does Forrest have to be Catholic to be married by a priest? And what would his mother have had to do back in Amherstburg for her children to be Catholic? Would they have baptism records at St. Jean Baptiste?

I have a great deal of information on this family I'd be happy to share, but not enough! Since I'm a continent away in Portland, OREGON, I'd love to have help finding obituary or probate records on any of the above. Please e-mail me for a copy of my King Family Research report.

Billington Griffin

I am looking for information on my great uncle, Billington Griffin. He was born about 1872, son of William and Margaret Griffin. He was married to a woman named Esther. In 1916, at the time of Margaret's death, he was employed by the Canadian Pacific Railroad. In his later years he was a 'teller' at the Stoney Point Bank. I have no further information. Can anyone help me find more?
