Re: Looking for Garrigues relatives

JDUHRKOFF — 2009-11-09 01:23:17Z

Hi, I hope you have found your family in New Jersey. I went to school with your aunts. Graduated with Estelle Garrigues. Then there was Patty and Edith. Your father once stuffed a fish for me. He did taxidermy work at the time and lived off shore as we called it. Right out of North Wildwood. I spoke with Estelle a couple of years ago and she has had some medical problems. But, I hear she is doing well now. She has two kids and her daughter married into the family that owns the Cowtown rodio auction. That's in Woodstown I believe.From what I here Eddie still lives in the Wildwood area.She had been married to Billy Brunell. He might have died. Good luck in your search. Joan Duhrkoff

Re: William J Thompson 1889

meekernj — 2009-11-07 23:28:04Z

I located the following:

1917. William James Thompson b. 10 July 1888 New York City, living in East Newark, Hudson Co., married (WWI Draft Registration)

1920. Living in East Newark with Catherine

1930. Living in Newark with Katherine. Wm said first marriage was at 20 (c. 1908) Katherine said first marr was at 16 (c 1907/8).

However, I found both of them still living with their parents in 1910.

1942. William James Thompson born 10 July 1887. Living at 353 Elm St. Kearny, Hudson Co. Name of person who will always know his address: Mrs. Ellen Drybough same address.

This suggests that he was no longer married to Catherine by 1942, and that he probably was not married to anyone else at this time.

In order to find marriage records in NJ for this period, you really need to know the year or a close estimate. 1940 and before is available at NJ State Archives for personal searching (or you can hire someone to do it). But each year is alphabetized by husband's name.

If you know when Catherine died or whether they divorced and when, that might help narrow the search.

If he was still married when he died, his wife's name should be on his death certificate and probably in an obit.

William J Thompson 1889

angelfish711 — 2009-11-07 18:49:24Z

I am looking for information on my grandfather William J Thompson. He was born in 1889 in New York but lived in New Jersey. Originally he was married to Katherine Brennan but I believe he did remarry at some point. If anyone has anything it would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Babcock's Cordery's of Southern NJ

klm11111 — 2009-11-07 06:39:27Z

I am also a direct descendant of Jean Jacques Coeur de Roi and am searching for information about him. I am his great, great, great granddaughter. His son Clarkson Williams is my great, great grandfather and Franklin S. Williams is my great grandfather. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Joshua C. Stiles and Martha Stiles

julystar — 2009-11-05 02:55:50Z

I just checked my posts today. Sorry for being so late getting back to you.
I, too, have checked the Cape May 1840 U.S. Census and was leaning toward William Stiles as being my great grandfather, Joshua's, father. Also, the names listed (Joshua, William and Thomas) are all names appearing throughout several generations of our Stiles family. I really feel that this is the link to the Stiles that I have been searching for, but I can't be certain. Would you have any further information on whether any marriage records, church records, etc. would exist for Cape May, New Jersey, for the late 1850's. I'm trying to determine if Joshua and Martha were married there before coming to Virginia.

Again, thanks so much for all your time and help.

Re: Markey family

phillimr — 2009-11-02 06:30:26Z

I know of a Bryan(Brian, Bernard) Markey who came to the US in the 1850's. I think his father was Peter Markey. Bryan married Mary Quinn and they moved here. They were possibly from County Meath or Westmeath. My grandmother is a Markey.

Re: Joseph Abell

dtonneman — 2009-10-29 01:09:02Z

Do you have info (Research info) on the family? I have been stuck on him and his wife and their parents. I would love to talk to another descendant, however, I would also like to see some documentation. Joseph's son, William G. Abell is my great-great grandfather. Thanks again!

Re: McGuinness Family Northern/Central NJ

xoccerlvr — 2009-10-28 20:51:03Z

Thanks I was able to get a copy of my grandfather's birth certificate. His father was James McGuinness (born in Glasgow, Scotland), his mother was Mary Roon (born in Garfield NJ). I'm now trying to find out about James McGuinness (born in Scotland ~1888, died in NJ ~1923) & his family from Scotland.

Re: McGuinness Family Northern/Central NJ

xoccerlvr — 2009-10-28 20:47:04Z

Thanksfor your help. Cornelius Roon is a cousin of Mary Roon. His wife Mary McGuinness is unrelated (as far as I can tell).

Re: Joshua C. Stiles and Martha Stiles

mmg816 — 2009-10-28 16:18:55Z

Think I found what you're looking for. In the 1840 census there are 3 Stiles families living in Middle Twp, Cape May county includin a Joshua Stiles. He's too old for your Joshua but he's probably a uncle. William A Stiles is listed as having a son age 0-5. That son is probably your Joshua. Middle Twp is only about 10 miles wide and between the ocean and Delaware Bay so there's plenty of fishing. Best wishes again.

Re: Joshua C. Stiles and Martha Stiles

mmg816 — 2009-10-28 04:08:34Z

I couldn't find Joshua but in the 1850 census the only Styles families were in Warren, Somerset County and two families in Cumberland County. Somerset is inland but Cumberland County is along Delaware Bay. Hope this helps. I'm not related btw.

Joshua C. Stiles and Martha Stiles

julystar — 2009-10-28 02:36:12Z

I am seeking information on my great grandfather and great grandmother who migrated to King William County, Virginia, around 1859. Joshua Stiles was born about 1835 in New Jersey. He was a fisherman and shoemaker and possibly came from a coastal area, not sure of the county. His wife, Martha, was born about 1840, and on the 1860 U.S. Federal Census, they were living in West Point, Virginia, and had one daughter, age one, named Elizabeth.

Anyone having any information at all, please contact me.

Thanks so much.

Re: Joseph Abell

barrett4121 — 2009-10-28 01:54:56Z

Dawn Tonneman...........

Though not related, I have done some historical research and know this family well. I also frequently talk with the wife of a direct descendant of Joseph Dill Abell. I would be happy to hook you up to her but it would have to be via telephone, as she doesn't do the computer thing at her age.

Christie family

deb511851 — 2009-10-27 03:37:54Z

Does anyone know anything about the genealogy of Chris Christie, running for governor? His father was a Bill Christie. Just curious. Wondering if I might be related by marriage.

Re: Gaskill

zeegler_1 — 2009-10-25 22:07:39Z

The head of the family at that time was Charles Gaskill,
and his wife Matida. One of the children was Samuel Gaskill, father
of Alsines. Samuel had been born in New Jersey in 1804. In Medina
County the family located on a large tract of Government land. All
around them was a comparative wilderness, By his labors Charles
Gaskill cleared up a full half seetion of land in that locality and for
many years he supplied the greater part of the meat consumed on the
table from the deer and turkey which roamed at will through the woods.
Charles Gaskill and his wife Matilda spent the rest of their days in
Medina County and died when old people.

Re: tyger/tiger

rosesun_1 — 2009-10-25 05:43:54Z

I hear his religious preference was presbyterian not sure, may have been something else. I know the surname is jewish
reading history he would not have been considered any religious group today cause his sabbath was saturday.
mass confusion regarding religion. I just go with they were jewish and that is the religious preference.
My great grandfather was Peter Nevious Tiger and his father was Elbe and his father was John and his father was Jacob
from germany Alot of relatives. There is a book called early germans of New jersey you will see information there on religious practice jews with confusion basically

Re: Charles W. Vanderhoof

This is the only family with a Charles with a mother named Sarah.

Boonton, Morris, 1920

Walter Vanderhoof 32
Sarah Vanderhoof 31
Charles Vanderhoof 2
Harland Vanderhoof 4
Clarence Vanderhoof 7
Ethel Vanderhoof 9
Harold Vanderhoof 13
Frank Devine 35 (boarder)

Harold Vanderhoof 23
Clarence Vanderhoof 17
Harland Vanderhoof 14
Charles Vanderhoof 12
James Vanderhoof 7
Francis Vanderhoof 5
Mary Vanderhoof 1 6/12

He worked as a moulder in a foundry and then as a chauffeur for a coal yard. Their parents were all born in NJ.

BUT...there's an obituary for Walter that gives a different surname for Sarah than the one you have. Perhaps she was married twice or the obit could be wrong.

"Daily Record", Morristown, New Jersey April 12, 1944

Walter VANDERHOOF
Dover-Walter VANDERHOOF, 56, of 57 George Street, a driver for the Shoemaker Coal Company, died yesterday at his home following a short illness. Mr VANDERHOOF is survived by his wife Mrs Sara E. VANDERHOOF (nee PRESTON); six sons, Harold L., James R., and Francis A. at home; Clarence C., Harland R. and Charles W. VANDERHOOF all of Dover; two daughters, Mrs Ethel M. LINDSLEY of Rockaway and Miss Mary A., at home.; a brother, Clarence of Dover and two sisters Mrs Mable FINE of Dover and Mrs Eva MORTON of Manasquan.

You can order a copy of your father's SS-5 (application for social security number). It will have his parents' names.

Rawcliffe Family from Lancashire, England.

kelgypumpkin — 2009-10-05 15:33:02Z

Hi,

This is a bit of a long shot really.

I am researching my family from Preston in Lancashire, England.

I think the family may have some link to New Jersey, one particular family, that of of John & Ann Rawcliffe. In 1860 Ann gave birth to their 3rd child in State of New Jersey. The family returned to Preston, England in time for the 1861 Census.

I am obviously curious to who and why they where visiting.

If anyone knows anything of a Rawcliffe family with Lancashire, England roots please contact me.

Kind Regards

Kelly

I found a McGuiness family in Paterson, NJ 1930...James & Anna, Margaret, Katherine, John, James, & Francis.Thought this might be them but, then found the same family on 1920 census & James had 2 bro n laws living w/them, John & Frank Lunethy.
Let me know about John's sibs & I'll see what I can find.

Hello,
My grandparents came over on the boat from Lithuania in the early 1900s and settled in Elizabeth, NJ, where there was a large Lithuanian community and church - St. Peter and Pauls on Ripley Place. You might try looking in that area.

Hi Molly, Thanks for your reply. I don't know how long Ming's family lived in WV, but I think his mother's first name was Myrtle. Will have to check with my sister re his dad's name, but Myrtle remarried. All are deceased. Area sounds close down near Pittsburgh, just across the state line, along the river. Will check it out further with sister Pat.

You did it! Many many thanks!!! We finally got something we can go by. My sisters and I have waited so long for a name that might link us to family, you have given us that. I sent for my fathers original ss application years ago and that showed his parents names. I then sent for his mothers ss application and she spelt her name as Sarah Elizabeth Hilderbrant. No doubt the newspaper spelt her first name wrong. I also sent for his death certificate and it also listed his mother with the same spelling. Again many thanks.

Don,
Neither the name 'Harold' nor'Emerson' are in any of my Pugh family names.
The locale--near Pittsburgh, is close. My Pughs (Hugh, Peter etc) were in Brooke Co Wv in 1800; then Peter went to Meigs Co Ohio in in1840. So our time lines are off unless Harold's family has been there for 2 centuries.
Thanx for the reply,
Molly
