Samuel Bates Elliott, born Dec. 9, 1882-died Sept. 23, 1951, and his wife, Blanch Butler Elliott, born Dec. 5, 1892-died Jan. 30, 1978, are buried in Union Cemetery in Bolivar, Hardeman Co., TN.
http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gsr&GSiman...

Here is the link for the Bolivar-Hardeman Public Library.
http://www.hardemanlibrary.org/

There is an e-mail contact link on the bottom left of the page to get in touch with a librarian. You might try getting in touch with the library and ask if they have a 1978 newspaper obituary for Blanch Butler Elliott in their newspaper files. The obituary may have the info that you need on Francis Elliott Kennedy.

There is a marriage record for a Francis Elliott in 1945 gives vol date page # in Jefferson co. Alabama does not list name of groom, if you think this is her, it's possible you can probably order it online at Alabama vital records..

I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to reply to your message. Was out of town ... and just plain unorganized after my return.
The problem for me is ... I don't know for sure what/who I'm looking for. I used the name Daubert because it seems the closest derivative (in New Orleans) to Dorbrette I could come up with. I know three Dorbrette names for sure, and that all of them originally settled in New Orleans: David Dorbrette (only know he moved on to St Tammany), my gggrandmother's sister Adaline Caroline Dorbrette (b. about 1837) married a Nixon and then Edmund Booth, and my gggrandmother Mary M. Dorbrette (b. 1831) who married a Dowty and then Edmund Booth after her sister died.
If you have any information or research direction you could offer - it'd be greatly appreciated! I'll continue researching what I can ... see if I can provide better information.
Thanks!
Kathy

Re: Dunbar-Hagood marriage

augsbury1 — 2013-05-29 13:15:44Z

So the marriage took place in Orleans County on November 1930?
The Dunbar family seemed to be well to do so there would be an announcement in the New Orleans newspaper.
What puzzles me is that the Hagoods are from Charlotte NC and the Dunbars were always living in New Orleans so I wondered how they met?

Thank you so much for responding - and thanks too for the website links!

It does make sense ... the name change "Daubert" to or from "Dorbrette". Will try to track further. Between court house fires and undocumented life steps ... not always an easy task.

I do have a copy of the marriage certificate for my gggrandmother and gggrandfather Mary and John ... but didn't know where they were married. Centering on New Orleans should help some.

Thanks again! Kathy

Re: Daubert in New Orleans, Louisiana

11944 — 2013-05-26 22:17:40Z

I think like some ancestors that carried double names, one family would drop one or the other surname, without any legal documentation, guess back then it was a family decision, not the court decision to permit you to change your name.
Whether you will find any actual documentation of the name change probably would be somewhere in the orleans parish court system if they kept records.
Good luck in your search

Just as an FYI, I found reference to a Thelma K. Noble in Baton Rouge. According to her mother's obituary, however, the K stood for her maiden name of Kennedy.

In your posting, you gave his birth year as 1901, but I looked at the 1910 Macon Co. Alabama census for T.A. Noble and there is no listing for Philemon Noble in the family. He is, however, listed in the 1920 Macon Co., Alabama census in the family of a Thomas A. Noble. It looks like the age for Philemon Noble is marked over, but in looking at again, it looks like the age may be 10 years old.

Re: Question about an occupation in 1860s

danorton1958 — 2013-05-22 03:28:50Z

An “intelligence office” was an employment agency, usually for placing domestic servants.

“Every person whose business it is to find or furnish places of employment for others, or to find or furnish servants upon application in writing or otherwise, receiving compensation therefor, shall be regarded as an intelligence office keeper under this act.” — The New Internal Revenue Law, Approved June 30, 1864

Question about an occupation in 1860s

chercheuse99 — 2013-05-21 00:42:13Z

An ancestor of mine lived in New Orleans from the 1840s until about 1870. Initially, he made his living as an innkeeper/tavern owner. But starting in the 1860s, city directories and tax assessments give his place of occupation as "intelligence office." At first, I thought this might have had something to do with espionage during the U.S. Army's occupation of New Orleans, but that doesn't seem very plausible.

Could there have been an alternate meaning for "intelligence" in that era? Perhaps his office dealt with customs/cargo/shipping issues? This is only a guess, since he lived very close to the river, first on St. Peter, then Conti.

I'm hoping someone can shed light on this topic for me. Thanks.

I checked the obituary index first, checking for O'Mahony, O'Mahoney, Mahony, and Mahoney, then searched for the first name Daniel in 1851.

Then I checked the death index for 1804-1876 using the same surnames.

Then I checked the New Orleans papers on GenealogyBank for the years 1840-1860.

Barbara, could you tell me what days you searched? Since Daniel reportedly died on Christmas day and may have had no family left in New Orleans, his obituary may have been delayed.

Thanks much for that, Barbara. Looks like Daniel didn't get an obituary.

He doesn't show up in a search of the newspaper, nor does he show up in the death index.

I'm attaching a copy of Philip's obituary.

Daniel O'Mahony 1823-1851

I am hoping to find an obituary for Daniel O'Mahony, who reportedly died in New Orleans Dec. 25, 1851. I found his brother Philip in the 1848 obituary index and have requested his obituary, but nothing for Daniel.

Daubert in New Orleans, Louisiana

Hoping someone can help me. GGgrandmother MARY M. DORBRETTE (b. 1831)lived in New Orleans and St Tammany. (Married a DOWTY. Her sister Adaline (b. 1838) married a NIXON, then a BOOTH.) Believe it's possible some of DORBRETTE family changed the spelling of last name from DAUBERT - but I can't find any documentation confirming. DAVID DORBRETTE (could be Mary's father?) married NANCY JOINER 1830 in St Tammany, and additionally DAVID DORBRETTE witnessed the marriage of George Hughes and Mary Joiner 1830 in St Tammany.
Thanks for any help you can give!!! Kathy

Could not find your Martz on a passenger list at the Port of New Orleans.

The only ship I can find called "Venus" was here:
Victoria, Australian assisted & unassisted passenger list 1839-1923
sailed from liverpool & melbourne, australia 1861 to 1864
I checked "Vernon", "victor" , "victory", I tried various other "V" & "V+"
names with no luck. It could have been a Van something name for the ship
I got " ship name; rip van winkle" no luck there

You can try your luck by going to Ancestry:
"Search Immigration & Travel Records"

Don't list Name of ancestor....
year of arrival I did search for {1850-1875} { no age }
no arrival port or origin
ship Name___________
it will give you every ship "you name" from port of departure to port of arrival

good luck in your search

Hi, Rachel.
Unfortunately I do not have any more information on the Segari family. My great-grand uncle was married to Rose Segari, but they had no children. If I am putting this together correctly, your great-grandmother was Mary Segari. Was she the sister of Rose ?

Passenger Ship Venus

We are searching for information on this ship which arrived Dec 1851 in the port of New Orleans, from Le Harve, France. We haven't been able to find any information about the ship or the ship's registry, but later naturalization records say this is the ship the Martz family (Stephen, Victoria, Louis and Edward) traveled to America. The family was German speaking, but left from Alsace-Lorraine, then in France. Any insight and assistance is welcome.

Hi there, I am a relative of yours! My name is Rachel (surname Allen). My mother was Dale Manning; Mary Segari's granddaughter. I am anxious to hear of anything with the family, I am trying to connect to more family as I don't have very many relatives. Thanks!
