Death of William Denver, Mobile, Alabama 1859

charbmoore1 — 2009-01-18 11:28:44Z

Mobile, Alabama Newspaer

Sunday, January 18, 2009
From 1859:

"Death of Wm. Denver — It is our melancholy task to announce the death of Wm. Denver , a partner in the house of L Merchant & Co. He was an enterprising, upright and correct man in all his dealings, and for the last ten years a citizen of Mobile, beloved and respected by all who knew him. His remains were, on yesterday evening, followed to the grave by the Rifle Company, and a large number of relatives and friends."

Not my line, just sharing.

Denvers - Denvirs - Denver - Denvir...

mia_denvers — 2008-08-14 17:43:02Z

Hi,
I have a very missing link in my family!!My great grandfather was elusive to say the least. He was known as James Denvers, James Denver, James Denvir. He was born approx 1872, he claims in Manchester, England, although we can find no proof. He was married to Elizabeth Jones - again, no proof. he was an electrical engineer - the family saying was that he 'sold electricity to the US'. I know he visited the US at least twice, and that he travelled on the Oceanic. He visited new York and Pennsylvania. In 1921 he disappeared from the family - no-one knows to where - my grandad received 3 postcards telling him to look after his mum, but it is impossible to tell where they were sent from. In the time he did live with my g grandmother he fathered 5 children, 3 survived. In this time there are blanks on the local census, where he was absent from the family home. I am wondering whether he left finally to live in the US, and whether he either started a new, or actually already had an existing family there. (Or anywhere else!!)
I realise this is a long shot, but thought smeone may be aware of a James Denvers with a past!
Thank you
Mia

Hi Mary,
Thank you so much for you offer of help. I live in Newfoundland, Canada, and find it difficult at times to get the info I need. Here are my Denvirs:

Thomas Denvir b. c1849. Married unknown. Their son,
Samuel Denvir b. 1864 married Agnes McNown, Shortly after she died, their three children died of TB. Samuel then married Eliza Johnston b.1863.

There children are:
Elizabeth Denvir b.1890 d.1970
John Moore Denvir b.1894
Margaret Denvir b.1896 (my grandmother)

I don't know if Thomas Denvir had other children.

emilylowrey — 2008-08-07 20:29:27Z

There is a file in the local records office from St Beghs, which is basically a photocopy of their early records, and is not indexed so you need to spend some time reading every entry. As for original records, you need to write to the church - Maud...the parish secretary was really helpful when I wrote to her, asking for info on Denvir's, and sent me photocopies of births, death and marriages etc, with a typed list of names which may have been relevant.The address is St Beghs Priory Church, Coach Road, Whitehaven, Cumbria, and the pp is Fr Matthew Carney.
I have info for at least 3 brother - Richard, Hugh, and one other who were all b Ireland, between 1814 and 1821, and who were living in Whitehaven by 1841 census, but have no record of their parents, unfortunately....still searching tho!
I could take a look at the records in the records office for you when I am there next, but would need some idea of names/ dates etc.

I'm looking for a Catherine Denvir who marries a John QUIN and moves to Whitehaven. They were probably Catholics as none of their children appear in Whitehaven's Anglican church batismal registers - unfortunately I haven't been able to see St Begh's registers.

Re: Denvir's of County Down, N. Ireland

S_Ecclestone — 2008-07-11 12:58:26Z

Hi there

I also have a Denver who came from Ireland and settled in Whitehaven. Catherine and her husband John QUIN (he was born around 1829 in Ireland) had a son William QUIN born 18th March 1860.

I haven't found their marriage in England so I'm guessing they married in Ireland.

Have you come across her?

NEED OBIT. ON "Tillie" P.W. (GLadys) Smedley

2003-11-20 20:01:07Z

Were does one find an obit. on the above referenced person? DOD was 2/14/73. Burial was 2/17/73 in Denver, CO. Long-time resident of Denver, CO (since 1921 & before, since her first husband was a Monfort). Maiden name: Gladys Poe Waters. She married Chester Earl Smedley in 1921. I cannot even bring up a S.S. Death Record for her on S.S. Sites on internet -- Rootsweb and Ancestry.com Gladys' DOB was Oct. 13, 1883. (Part of the problem may be the way it is listed on the record. The above in the Subject--Tillie P.W. (Gladys) Smedley is the one on the funeral home record. Tillie apparently was a nickname.) I've tried Gladys Poe Smedley & a number of combinations for listing of Death Record--just a summary, and find nothing. I sometimes wonder if the "bureaucrats" do these things to people on purpose. (Either that or they give women short shrift--I don't have any trouble finding the mens' records but in CO, can't find the women's.)

Re: Denver in Mass.

Yikes! My Grandfather married a young widow Rose Lockwood Pleasant in NYC and moved to Waterbury CT c 1910. His background was vague as he said he was orphaned. Said he was born in England and was sent to live with uncle in Montana. His SS Index states he was born c1865.

My Grandfather-John Burton Denver bc1885, parents born England-said he was sent to live with a uncle in Montana after death of his father in train wreck and mother in childbirth. He left Silver Bow County Montana via Alberta Canada and joined this circus working as an electrician. Met my Grandmother Rose Lockwood in NYC and moved to Waterbury CT. c1910. He said he lost his papers so we never knew if all his history was truth or fiction.

Dear Charles,

Do you have a time frame when Dora Denver was born or came from N. Ireland? From Griffith's valuation it appears that all the Denvers in the 1850s were in Northern Ireland, the majority of them from County Down (yes, Belfast area.) I'd be interested in hearing from you and perhaps we might be talking about the same family. By the way, what was your great grandfather's name? Please write me at tempqedetc@aol.com.

Suzanne,

I can't believe it but we're looking for the same people! Please contact me and I can fill you in on a few missing pieces and leads that I'm following. My husband's grandfather was John Dewey. Have obituaries and more including the fact that William was actually born in Canada although he consistantly says that he is born in Calais, Maine (he arrived when he was just a year or so old). My info also has Mattie (wife) married at 15 (not 21 as she states in marriage paperwork) because she is only 20 when first child is born! I wondered what happened to the last child! Very excited to hear from you :)

Looking for information on my grandfather's cousin, Mrs. J. E. Pittman who was living in Denver, Colorado at the time of her father's death in May, 1917. Two daughters are listed as survivors in his obituary. One is Mrs. J. E. Pittman. His daughters were Edna McGonigal b. abt. 1883, and Anna McGonigal, b. abt 1885, but the obituary does not identify which one is Mrs. Pittman. I suspect it is Edna, because she would probably have been listed first in the obit because of being the elder, but who knows? Any clues appreciated. Vanette
