I have hit a brick wall regarding the wife of Brigadier-General Bertie Gordon Clay DSO who was born in 1875 in India.

He married someone called Millicent Jane but I would really like to know her maiden name and when and where the marriage took place. Her first names are mentioned in an item in an unrelated The Times of 9th June, 1926.

They had a daughter who was alive in 1952 when she inserted a Memorial Notice to her parents in The Times. I wish I knew her name too.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Have you tried one of the for-pay search websites? It will be much quicker than waiting on a message board. Intelius.com advertises on the web frequently. They pull info. from phone listings, mailing lists, public records, etc. It is very good your dad has a fairly unusual middle name. I am researching one of my grandmothers named Clay. Hope all goes well for you.

Carol,

If you are still reading posts, please contact me. My grandmother was Annie L. Clay. She married Charles Edward Fulton & they lived mostly in Florence, AL.. I believe James Lafayette Clay was her father because she is buried near him in the Knights of Pythias cemetery in Russellville, AL. Gilbert Manley Fulton (also buried there) would be her brother (also son of J.L.). She named one of her children James Manley Fulton.

Note: there is an error in my grandmother's info. on the web page below. Her maiden name was Clay, not Fulton. Either her grave marker is incorrect or there was a transcription error in the cemetery survey. Some day I will drive to Russellville & see for myself (& take a photo!)

Sorry for the delay - I have been out of town.

Check these out:

intelius.com
infoplease.com
ussearch.com

Some just search phone listings for land lines - other pull public info. like utility bills, driver's licenses, etc.

I think you have an excellent chance to find your dad. Your mom can probably provide his birthday & other personal info. The phone call your grandmother received suggests your dad has talked about you to his additional family. Too bad the caller didn't leave her info.

You might even want to check out a private investigator. That way you will be sure you find your dad, not someone with the same name. You can discuss fees up front. Don't be hesitant to ask questions.

Hope it all works out -

Still looking for info. on Pearl A. Clay (b. 1/19/1883)

mwsully68 — 2009-08-08 22:48:32Z

Married Walter Bedford Baker in Chickasaw, OK 8/31/1903.

Moved out to CA (Chino) later in life and died there, but was buried in Donley County, Texas.

Would love to find anyone who has some clues to her mother and father and her siblings.

Need info on Pearl A. Clay from Tennessee

mwsully68 — 2009-08-05 00:33:02Z

Hi there,

Here is what I know so far: Born in Chattanooga, TN 1/19/1883. Had two sisters: Fannie and Emma. They might have been adopted early on into a Clay family (not so sure about all that); moved to OK and married Walter Bedford Baker.

Died in Chino, CA 1948

I have found so many dead-ends, I'm wondering if I'll ever find anything else. Please help if you can.

Re: John H. Clay - b. 1878 GA >>> AL

renitapresler — 2009-08-01 11:57:41Z

Thank you for your email. Yes, we had this family on our list of possibilities for awhile, especially because John H. Clay went on to have a son named Jasper b. 1902 in Alabama. However, on his Alabama marriage application 1897 in De Kalb County, he states that he is under 21 years of age and both his mother and father are dead and he has "worked and done business on his own for the last 12 years" and he has no legal guardian. That's what makes this a tough one. Jasper L. Clay and wife Martha are still alive and found on the 1900 census in Georgia.

William Franklin Clay, b. 1870 m. Josie Cumi Kerr, b. 1880

Davis0023 — 2009-08-11 04:32:22Z

I am seeking information about the parents and/or siblings of William Franklin Clay, who married Josie Cumi Kerr. They raised their family mostly in Cleburne County, AL, but Frank died in Haralson County, GA, according to his daughter. I can find them on the census from 1900 to 1930, but have been unable to find Frank before 1900. Josie died following childbirth in 1922, and I believe Frank died in 1932. Any information about the names of parents and siblings of Frank Clay will be appreciated.

Gerri was my step-mother. She died after a 5 year battle with cancer. (she went into remission during that time but the cancer resurfaced) Thank you for the picture of her headstone. I live in Florida & have not been back to TX since Gerri passed away.
