Birth record for Fanny Smith b 01May1795 Concord NH

suzannetork — 2013-03-28 10:44:27Z

Is there anyone that could do a quick check of births for Concord, Merrimack, NH for Fanny Smith? We have a bible record that states she was born in Concord (MA) 01May1795. However, her later censuses always indicate she was born in NH.

Thank you in advance for any help you can give!

Thanks for taking the time to look for me.

Re: morrill family

lauriejeanne5120 — 2013-01-30 22:16:58Z

I looked at my written family history from 1632 to 1953. specifically late 1700's to early 1800's with not a Young in the entire bunch of the Morrills. I'm sorry I couldn't help.

Re: morrill family

Mrpen1 — 2013-01-30 21:17:42Z

Wondering if you have a Joshua Young married to a Morrill. Joshua born around 1730's in New Hampshire. The Morrill name is used in 4 generations of Young's.
Noah Morrill Young, Morrill Noah Young, Albert Morrill Logan Young & Edward Morrill Young. Seems like I should have some connection to the Morrill family.

Re: morrill family

lauriejeanne5120 — 2013-01-30 18:26:08Z

My grandmother was a Morrill from Franklin, NH Merrimack county. She had several sisters and brothers and they did own and still own homes in Ward one, West Franklin on and around Lawndale Ave. We have an entire printed history of the Morrill Family. Grandmother was Dorothy Morrill and She married a Cilley. They had 10 children. She is buried in the Franklin Cemetery and died at the age of 94. I'll look up my history i have and see if I can help you trace any of my family back to your family.

I have this information in my records: Sept. 1632 starting with Abraham Morrill arriving on a ship with his brother Issac. The ship was called the Lion. He appears he settled in Cambridge, Ma. First mention of anyone in a NH town was Ware, Nh in 1766. Jabez Morrill born 2-15-1744 or 45 died 8-26-1800 married Hannah Clough of poplin. born 1741 died 9-13-1807. I have records up to 1953.

Hi, that's great! Maybe you can help me. Charles is my 1st cousin 2x removed. He's my great grandmother's nephew.

I'm looking for, Charles' sister, Lillian Agnes Blair Smith's death date sometime after 1950. Her husband died Ross George Smith died 20 Dec 1949. I would like to know where they are buried also. I found where his son is buried and I did call that cemetery in Derry and they said Lillian and Ross were not buried there, I did call couple other cemeteries but nothing. I did find his mom but his dad George P Smith is still in the air, figured it out that he isn't the one who died in NH but might be the one who died in Maine in 1883. Still looking that up.

I do have all the obits of the Blairs I could get a hold from Maine, NH, Mass, and Nova Scotia. I can email you that file. I like to see if Lillian and Ross have obits so I can add them to my file.

Many Thanks! Beatrice

Re: Concord, NH Genealogical Research Center

TriceCyn — 2013-01-29 18:35:29Z

Thanks. If I can get the other death date then I can take both to the Library. Do it all at once so I don't have to pay twice. NH has a tight leash on their records and it's very frustrating.

Re: Concord, NH Genealogical Research Center

Re: Concord, NH Genealogical Research Center

kaystanton132 — 2013-01-29 13:12:24Z

If you have an actual date of death, did you try writing or emailing the local library and/or newspaper for a copy of the obituary? They may charge a small fee, but it could give you all the information you're trying to find. Including the funeral home (often a source of information,) cemetery, etc.

Re: Concord, NH Genealogical Research Center

TriceCyn — 2013-01-29 12:38:00Z

Thanks to familysearch.org I found some information that got me to where I am now. I'm looking for two death records, between 1949-1960, that I can't find online anywhere. I got one death date but nothing on the other person plus I want to know where it says they are buried. Thanks!

Re: Concord, NH Genealogical Research Center

Hi, Is anyone going to this place anytime soon?
I figured I would ask and hopefully someone would be able to help me out. I don't have a car and there's no way I can get there. I need information on two people. In exchange, I would be willing to help you if you need something from Portland, Maine. I'm a member of Maine Historical Society and can visit local cemeteries to take pictures of grave sites and see who else is buried with the person.
Thanks, Beatrice

Re: Arthur DUGUAY

Shamoca2009 — 2013-01-05 01:17:35Z

There are several Arthur Duguays in Merrimack county in NH.

It would help others if you have a rough idea of his birth year,when or where he died, a wife's name or where he lived to give you a better response. Did he serve in the military?
Did he have children?

The range of years I found are from 1887 to 1934.
Towns in Merrimack county I found are Suncook, Allenstown, Pembroke, and in Coos County there are two in Berlin, in Hillsborough county there is one.

If you can, find some more clues to get a better reponse.

Re: Arthur DUGUAY

Arther duguay is my grandmothers Father, if its the same one. My Grandmothers name was Lucy Coutois. Maybe we could exchange notes

I have my Colby family on the find-a-grave web site.
You can take a look, if I remember there's pics of the stones.
If you find any that don't have one, feel free to add.
There are two Colby's on the site that I've not found a connection, at least one I believe is related (Joseph).

Re: ABBOTT in New Hampshire, USA

mamaland — 2012-11-30 03:23:48Z

I was just going over your previous email stating that you had Colby family in the Horse Hill section of Penacook. Since we found Colby's in our line, I took photos of each stone in Horse Hill that had the Colby name. If you'd like to send me your email address, I can forward any I have to you.

I have Florence's husband as George Peterson Colby. They're buried together - I have a photo of their stone and copies of the cemetery records stating so.(Charles P. Colby may have been a misprint.)

Florence's brother was Charles.

George P. Colby, b. Henniker, NH

New Hampshire, Death Records, 1654-1947

death: 14 Mar 1919 Concord, , New Hampshire

parents: James B. Colby, Idella Carnes

After this, I'm confused:

Florence Abbott Colby's death lists her spouse as :

New Hampshire, Death Records, 1654-1947

death: 20 Jan 1929 Concord, , New Hampshire

parents: Hazen E. Abbott, Emma Gile
spouse: Charles P. Colby
burial: Maple Grove Cemetery

Is this a Misprint??

Her marriage:

Florence E. Abbott

New Hampshire, Marriage Records, 1637-1947

birth: 1875
marriage: 12 Feb 1902 Concord, , New Hampshire

parents: Hazen E. Abbott, Emma S. Gile
spouse: George P. Colby

---------

There's no connection to this Colby family with my own.

I suspect there is one but cannot find any proof.

I just returned from a trip to the Concord, NH area and found Hazen Abbott, his wife Emma, and daughter Florence's (and her husband George P. Colby 1880-1919) stones in Maple Grove Cemetery, Concord, NH. I wonder if this Colby is a relation to your Colby family?? I'll need to look into it!

You could try calling Blossom Hill Cemetery in Concord, 603-225-3911, they have records for all the cemeteries in Concord.

Hello again,

Best to you,
Beth

Re: Did you get my email?

neuronmotor — 2012-10-09 21:12:14Z

Hello Sherri,

I have not researched anything in a long time. Started on the Welcome family, something, just told me that I should be of help if I could.

Going slow, maybe once a week, however. If you would like me to start off with someone in your family that you could use some answers about. Then I am willing to invest some work on your behalf.

I might be able to find out if John Charland, at some point had some legal issues.

Please contact me at neuronmotor@yahoo. com

We can talk some more. Also, if you can let me know your family line concerning the Welcomes, I might come across some additional information for you.

Best wishes,
Beth

Re: Did you get my email?

Sherri_Czmyr — 2012-10-09 13:17:44Z

I too am searching for information concerning the Welcome- Charland family.

My great grandmother Elizabeth May McArdle-Charland-Palmer-Chapman - was born in Manchester, Nh, Feb. 1901. Although it is believed she was adopted by Angie (Angelina) Cote (Cotey) and John McArdle (McCardle).

Angie was of canadian decent, John, European. Angie had also been a missionary in India at some point of her life.

John Charland was arrested for either attempting to shoot or for shooting the sheriff. Bessie was looking at possibly being fined for with holding information concerning this incident. I believe the crime was committed by John and his brother Peter. I found the short article on ancestry.com.

My grandmother Mary Helen aka Helen always felt she and her siblings had been deserted by their father. After locating the article, I am beginning to think they were shielded from the truth concerning their father, just a theory.

I am assuming my great great grandfather, John McArdle passed away sometime in the 1920's, I am assuming in NH. Angie most likely passed in CT sometime during the late 1940s, as my mom was born in 1937 and has memories of Angie.

Any info you would be willing to share would be appreciated.

Thank you so much!

Sherri

Re: Did you get my email?

highkidder — 2012-10-09 00:48:04Z

yes my grandmother married James. Her parents were William Bienvenue and Maria Louise Cloutier. They were divorced I believe all though never found divorce record. He apparently was in prison in Concord with a family member (last name ) Charland. my grandmother had several other siblings as well, one died at birth and another from the elements, and twin bothers where they lived somewhere up North, she was raised in Brentwood yes, I do not know why she was moved to Franklin Nh. as I said I found paperwork that was sent to the orphanage in 1926, that she had a child. so she would have been 17 at that time but didn't state if she had the child in 1926 or just that is when they received the letter. I know she was sent to Vermont to an aunt's house off and on during her stay in Brentwood...My grandmother's mother later took on the name Louise Bienvenue and worked at the mills in Manchester Nh. As I said I am not sure why she was sent to Franklin Nh, but I am in the process of trying to make a trip up there to go through records, she was sent all over as a child but never left the custody of the orphanage, so I am trying to find this baby she had. My email is Highkidder@aol.com. Thank you for your help in my quest. It has been difficult to do my search as my family was split up and raised in orphanages and my grandfather came from Albania and names were changed altogether. He did not speak English and I only had an address on an envelope from Korcha Albania, so I do so appreciate all the help you have given. Thank you from the bottom of my heart

Plan to do some digging on your behalf tomorrow. You can reach me at neuronmotor@yahoo.com, while ancestery is a great way to communicate.

Re: Did you get my email?

neuronmotor — 2012-10-08 20:26:50Z

Hello,

Like to have all my ducks in a row, helps me lay out a plan on the best way to start any research. These things, you probably know.
Let me know what may be true.

Your grandmother married James, on Nov. 23, 1935, they lived in Manchester, NH.

Louse passed away July 13, 1996 at Merrimack.

In 1920, your grandmother was at a place called Webster Place, Franklin, NH.

In 1919, she was at the Rockingham County Farm at Brentwood, NH.
She was there with her siblings:
Joseph born about 1906
William 1907
and her sister Katherine born about 1909

Parents are listed as being born in Vermont.
If the is true her parents may have been Joseph and Louise. If this information is true, then something happened, that drove the couple apart.

Let me know what may be true. Plan to go to Brentwood tomorrow to begin the dig. Will do my best to get you a picture.
Do you have your grandmother's obit? That would also be a very good place to start.

Best wishes,
Beth

Her name is Louise Victoria Welcome ( Bienvenue ) She went by Welcome English name as a child, because her parents did but Bienvenue (canadian ) as she was older...She was in Brentwood , and then at 11 was in Franklin Nh orphanage, I do not know why they moved her but some time in the 1920's she had a child. any help you could give would be appreciated. I was trying to find pictures or any info on her and maybe go from there and finding the baby she had..(aunt)

Re: Did you get my email?

I'm also trying to find the connection between my family and Franklin Pierce... I've been told he was a cousin or something on my greatgrandmother's side... her last name was Haines, but I think it was on her mother's side, and I don't have a maiden name there. Hmm, maybe it was Pierce!
