Martin - I have finally received a copy of my grandparent's marriage record. It is as follows: 14 Dec 1909 Thomas Harold Winnings age 20 of Niagara Falls, NY, s/o Charles Winnings and Margaret McCleal (could be mispelled) married Eleanor Stocks age 18 of Niagara Falls, Ontario, d/o Sanuel Stocks and Mary Ann Bratley Stocks. As I recognize the names Walter, Clarence, Elmer, Charles, we have GOT to be related. Maggie would have also been my Great-Grandmother!
That makes us cousins - which of my Grandfather's sibling's child are you?

Now I want all the info you have! I have some photos to share and would like to find out who the people are with them, also would like any you may have. I believe you still have my email address??

Thanks, Martin!

Thanks Sandi for your help.
I have tied all the Winnings in together.
I appreciate your e-mail.
As a matter of fact, they were brothers.
Clarence was the youngest of them. And I talked to Clarence's son last evening on the telephone and he cleared up alot for me. If you would like some of the information let me know.

Re: Thomas Harold Winnings

2006-01-17 00:14:08Z

I have not posted regarding Maggie or Margaret. I have posted regarding my grandfather Thomas Harold b 22 Dec 1988, d Nov 1965. I do recall, when I was a mere child, the names in family conversations of (first names only) Elmer, Charles, Clarence, and Walter, however, I do not know if they were brothers of my grandfather, or close friends of the family. Sorry I don't have any more info to offer.

Re: Lora

martinssportinggoods — 2006-01-16 02:17:45Z

John,
I have more information on the Winnings. Hope you still have your e-mail address active.
Mine is new and will be listed with this post. Thanks

Re: Thomas Harold Winnings

martinssportinggoods — 2006-01-15 20:41:30Z

Ms Winnings,
I was doing further research on the Winnings. You had posted a reply a few years back about Maggie, Margaret, Thomas and Harold.
Please help me with something.
I have Charles Taylor Winnings born Jan. 11, 1866 who married Margaret "Maggie" Jane McClead b. Mar 1863. They were from Ritchie County, WV.
They had 10 children.
1. Mary Elizabeth
2. Elias Franklin
3. Thomas Harold
4. John H
5. Elmer Nay
6. Charles Norman
7. Petter W.
8. Laura E.
9. Clarence McKinley
10 Walter W.
--------------------------------------
There was a mixup on one of the names you referred to with Margaret & Maggie. "The Maggie I have listed above as the mother of these 10 is my great grandmother who was also known as Maggie. The census records show that in the Census at Williamsburg, WV. I think 1930.
My question is: Is Clarance and James brothers?
If so, please give me some dates on these if you could.
I appreciate it so much.

Re: Thomas Harold Winnings

2005-12-05 04:29:19Z

Thanks for the reply.
Harold and Norman were brothers. Charles Norman was my grand-father who lived in Nicholas County.
Harold had 9 brothers and sisters. I have a great deal of information on the Winnings. I have been researching their line for almost 10 years now. Was your father in a wheel-chair and did he work at a radio station.
If so, then I have 2 pictures of him.

Re: Thomas Harold Winnings

2005-12-05 04:01:44Z

Harold M Winnings B. 1931 D. 1992 is my father.

Re: Thomas Harold Winnings

martinssportinggoods — 2005-12-04 21:35:22Z

Mr. Winnings
I have a Harold M Winnings B. 1931 and passed 1992.
I also have a Thomas Harold Winnings born December 1888 at Nutters Fork in Ritchie County WV
Do you recognize any of these two individuals?

Re: Thomas Harold Winnings

martinssportinggoods — 2005-12-04 21:25:32Z

Thank you for the information Mr Winnings. My grandfather was Norman Charles Winnings and his mother was Margaret Winnings. I have records in my files that show my great grandmother was in one instance given the name of Maggie Winnings.
This may be where I copied the name mistakenly on your mothers side and I do apologize, although with the hundreds of names in my data base it's hard to keep track.
Thank you for the information. It would be helpful to me if you could shed some more light on the Winnings.

Sandi,
I have been very busy and haven't had the time to follow up on some of my genealogy. However in the midst of the business I wanted to write and ask you to give me some information about your Thomas Harold Winnings.
I think I can be helpful if it's the same Winnings. I am soon to publish a book on the Rudd/Winnings.
Harold was the son of Clarence McKinley Winnings (see below...) . At the present I have over 900 names in my datafile. I have been to almost every courthouse in WV and am soon making a trip to Ohio to find some information about the aunt of Harold Winnings.
INFO ON HAROLD:
FATHER OF HAROLD WINNINGS:
Clarence McKinley Winnings b. Mar 20, 1901 Married Sep 8, 1930 died Aug 1977, (I don't have the exact day).
MOTHER: MARGARET MAE COFFMAN b. Dec 5, 1908 d. May 6, 1998
FATHER OF CLARENCE:
Charles T Winnings b. Jan 11, 1866 married 1893 died Oct 22, 1950 and is buried at the cemetery in Richwood WV.
Along with his wife Margaret Jane McClead Winnings.
....
p.s. If this is your relatives please contact me and we will share info we have about them. I also have the relatives of Charles Taylor and where they came from..

Thank you
Martin

His name Joseph S. Winans m Rosa Massey in Wood County, WV.
They had two daughters Nora E. Winans and Rose E. Winans, twins.
Rose passed at age 3 days. Nora Passed in 1997.
Do any of you have a Joseph in your tree??
Thanks so much for your help

Re: Thomas Harold Winnings

2004-08-03 00:47:27Z

Mr Rudd as I have posted here before there is a big mistake here. Clarence & Margaret Winnings are my grandparents. My father was Harold Winnings born July 15 1931. His name is not Thomas Harold Winnings. By the way my grandmother's real first name is Maggie it's not short for Margaret.

Information

2001-09-01 16:29:55Z

I am trying to find out information about my family, I have a little brother named Michael Lee Winnings III, and a step-brother I have only seen once. If this is any help, please write me back, because I would love to find out more.

Hi Kathy,
You are correct about Harolds Brother. His brother was Norman Winnings of Charleston West Virginia who was my grand-father. Norman Winnings died Dec. 9, 1988. He was married to Clara Ottie Bennett (my grand-mother). Normans father was Charles Taylor Winnings (spelled Winans) was born Jan. 11, 1866 married 1893 died Oct 1950 at Nicholas County WV. buried in Richwood WV. Mary Elizabeth my aunt was a wonderful Christian lady whom I stayed with in the late 60s. Her husband William (I called uncle Bill) was a great man. He trained FBI men in shooting the Pistols-revolvers). They lived in Barton Ohio. She made the best mince-meat pie you ever tasted. (She gave me the receipe before she passed on).
I would be more interested in information your father has (please pass it on to me). My telephone number is (304) 438-8424 call collect).
Thanks so much for e-mailing me. I appreciate it so much.

Harold Winnings Radio Show

2000-12-25 19:37:31Z

Hi Martin. The Harold Winnings that had the radio show is my father's uncle. My father has an old picture postcard of him in front of the WKWK radio microphone. Does your picture show him in a wheelchair? I have a later picture of him in 1951 with my father, John Richard Gaynor, standing behind him. What my father remembers is Harold Winnings had two sisters, Esta Marguerite (my grandmother) who married John Franklin Gaynor, and Martha Elizabeth (Betty) who married Jimmy Johnson. Harold, Marguerite and Betty's parents were Elias Franklin (Frank) Winnings and Elsie (Boyce) Winnings. My father has a very old picture of Frank and Elsie from before the turn of the century. Frank had a sister Mary Elizabeth (Lizzy) who married Steele (first marriage) and then later William H. Harrison (second marriage). My father also thinks Frank had another brother Norman. That's all he can remember. My father is almost postive that the Harold Winnings from the radio show never had any children. He fell out of a tree when he was 13 or 14 years old and later developed spina bifida from his injuries. My father remembers he may have been married briefly, but had no children from that marriage.

FYI, the back of the picture postcard of Harold Winnings says "Harold Winnings presents Gems from Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow a program of Devotional Poetry, and choice sayings of Thinking Men. Aired Every Saturday 8:30 A.M. over WKWK. Wheeling, W.Va. 1400 on your dial. Residence phone Triad. 3381".

My email is kacker@erols.com. I would be interested in what else you might have on the Winnings. My father can't remember any further back than Frank and Elsie.

What are the names of Elmer Sydney's children?

Elmer Winnings

2000-09-09 20:53:19Z

My grandfather was Thomas Harold Winnings born 22 Dec 1888. My grandfather also worked in the coal mines in WV but I do not know when. I do recall hearing my grandparents talk of an Elmer. I don't know what relation he was to my grandfather. He married Eleanor Stocks and they adopted a son in WV, moved to FL around 1960. Please let me know if you are aware of any connection.

Harold Winnings

2000-09-06 18:55:01Z

Hello Harold (II)
I'm glad to hear from you.
You didn't say where you were from. Please let me know. I would love to contact you. Your father is my fathers Brother. I have a picture of your father hanging in the foyer of my home. He is sitting at I believe a Radio Microphone. I assume he had a radio show some years back. (At least that's what I understand). Harold had a sister called Mary Elizabeth Harrison (wife of William H Harrison) who lived in Barton Ohio. I was very close to Lizzy. They are both now passed on. Please let me hear from you soon.
I have another lady on the net that is wanting to hear from me, although she hasn't given me much information to go by. She said her mother was kin to Harold.
Thanks again for your letter.
REGARDS.

I had replied to this msg several days ago, but I don't see that it got to you. I tried to send pics thru this mail but could not. I told you that I would send them thru regular e mail, and entered my edress. Perhaps that is why the msg did not go thru. If you are interested in exchanging edresses let me know, and we will find a way.

The man at the railroad tracks

2000-05-28 09:47:36Z

John,
Thanks for e-mailing me back. I would love to see the picture you have. I can download adobe if I need to. The man you're talking about is probably my grandfather Charles Norman Winnings. He worked for the railroad and they lived in a small town called Leslie, although my oldest sister in NC told me that Uncle Nay and Aunt Dora lived in Rainelle beside the railroad tracks. I'm not sure if Uncle Nay worked for the railroad or not. I have a picture of my grandfather Charles when he was 16-18 years old working for the railroad.
Please forward your picture and anymore information you have about these people. I will gladly share mine with you.
Thank you John
Kind regards,
Martin Rudd
