I just thought I'd mention, in case anyone's researching people here in Freo, that we are currently building an index to all newspaper clippings held by the Fremantle Local History Collection. It can be searched online at
http://fremantle.archives.org.au/data/newspaper_clippings/

(Note that although there are currently only a few hundred clippings entered, we are actively adding more every week.)

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! :-)

Thanks,

Mary Evans Brennen Morris

KFa8911125 — 9 Jul 2008 2:30:14 GMT

I am looking for more information on Mary Evans Brennen Morris..her first husband's name is unknown but she had one son from him and that is Robert Brennen, born in Caseyville. From her second marriage to Louis (Lewis) Morris she had two children, one of who survived into adulthood, Angela Jane (Jennie) Morris. I was wondering if anyone could help me locate any newspaper articles about her death. She was beaten to death by her second husband in 1862 and died two days later. Louis was sentenced to seven years in prision but died before his time was up. Their daughter Jennie was left in the care of his business partner and Mary's son Robert, who would have been ten years old at the time was left homeless and went to work in the mines in caseyville. If anyone thinks they can be of any help, let me know.

Thanks,

Karissa

Would someone be able to look up an article for me in the Newark Evening News (N.J.)?

She may have gone by Mary or Anna, I'm not sure. Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I was wondering if some one could point me in the right direction. My GGrandmother wrote for a Swedish American newspaper in the early 1900 to about 1939. She wrote under the name Lovisa Rask.

I would like to know if she wrote any more for them or other newspapers. We have a small paperback book she wrote also I do not know if she ever published it. She wrote the book under the name Carolyn Stenström so she my have used that name for her articals also. Her real name was Hilda Carolina Stenström Nordström. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,

I'm looking for the obituaries of Christina Cheer (married name). From a 1920 census, her husband Charles Cheer is listed as a widower. As she was on a 1910 Census, Christina looks to have died anywhere from 1910-1920. Her daughter Janette Cheer may have died along with Christina? As she can not be found as well.
I'm also looking for the marriage announcement of Annie Cheer and James Bishop. I found their marriage license permit, dated March 22, 1895. But i need their marriage announcement to see if it contains possible info. that I need for my family tree. Anything that would contain birthdates, places of birth, parents, etc. Any help would be appreciated.

Need asstance in SC please

nascar2sexxx — 28 Aug 2006 5:51:56 GMT

Hello everyone,
THere is a story in my family that says my ancestor killed a man for stealing his cotton crop. The story goes on to say that he then moved out of state and changed his name.
I found Tim Gilbert listed in Lee County SC in 1910 as a cotton tenant farmer. Can anyone help by either looking up the article or tell me the papers that were in that area at the time?
THe closest I can narrow the time down to look in the paper is harvest time in 1911 or 1912. Harvest time is between September and November.
THe man that was supposedly murdered is not Tim Gilbert. I am not sure Tim would even be mentioned because the murder may not have had a suspect at the time.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. THanks Debbie

I am hoping that SKS would be able to find this memorial and send me a copy.

New/Updated Wisconsin Newspapers

jenni_lew — 12 Mar 2007 12:27:45 GMT

A few weeks ago Ancestry.com added 250+ New/Updated newspapers to the Wisconsin Periodicals and Newspapers list. When I click on the new links I get the usual options to “Search This Newspaper” or “Browse By Date”. However, the browse by date calendars are missing on every New/Updated link I’ve tried to access. I have also tried generic searches with names like Smith or Wagner and get no hits. It’s very unlikely that there were no Smiths or Wagners appearing in any Wisconsin newspaper. Has anyone else had this problem? Can someone at Ancestry.com tell me when or if these newspapers will actually be accessible? I can hardly wait!

Hello All...
I would like to look for mention in a newspaper of an accident my Grandfather was in. Somehow he lost a leg in a disagreement with a train. He lived from 1906 - 1956 in the southwest Louisiana / eastern Texas area. I have no idea what year this happened, nor do I know where. I have not found any evidence of him living in any other area. Basically as far west as Port Arthur and as far east as Rapides parish, LA.
Any suggestions?

Newspaper Report for "death at sea" in 1887

bbffrrpp — 4 Feb 2007 1:18:32 GMT

Hello. I have just found out about this Board, so I hope I am posting a query which is appropriate.

Jonathan "John" KIDDER was the older brother of my ancestor, Joseph "Joe" KIDDER, both of Princeton, Maine.

According to "the KIDDER book," John "loved the sea" and "died at sea" in 1887. No further information is state or known about !

I have placed queries on the R.W. Lists for several years, and no information can be found about John's "death at sea." And, no one knowns about his "death record" - probably from New Brunswick where he had moved his family to a few years before.

There is a small possibility that his "death at sea" could have happened near the Hawaiian Islands (then the Kingdom of Hawaii). His oldest son (first born) had migrated to Honolulu when he was a very young man around 1884. So, John could have wanted to visit his son's new wife and his first grandchild !

I have just asked the Hawaii List about a "newspaper record" there. There were newspapers published at that time, but they were mostly published in the Hawaiian language !

"Joe" KIDDER, my great-great-grandfather fought in the Civil War and lived most of his life in Princeton, Maine. I have spent over a dozen years trying to find information about the family he grew up in and his family. I have accumulated a great deal of information, but this "death at sea" of his older brother is something I can't find out about.

Initials in a newspaper search

psmaynard — 4 Oct 2006 1:59:35 GMT

My Ancestry membership includes their collection of historical newspapers. I have noticed that a man's first and middle names are often shortened to just the man's initials in newspaper articles. It must have made the typesetter's job easier. If you enter initials instead of the first name with the last name, you get too many results. It finds every C. on the page. If you enter just the last name you get too many results. I need help. How do I find C. E. Potter in the historical newspapers?

Manchester NH research help?

marysonier1 — 20 Sep 2004 2:13:29 GMT

My husband's grandfather, Joseph A. TRUDEAU, was murdered in the area of Manchester NH (where he resided) in 1933. We had thought he was murdered in the city (the death certainly happened at his place of employment - a bakery).

However, Manchester records do not list the death, so we're assuming that he worked outside the city - somewhere!

If anyone has access to newspaper reports of the murder, we'd be most grateful! We have not been able to get to Manchester to check newspaper morgue, etc.

Thank you!

Newspaper Public Notice of Old Letters at the Post Office

David Clinard — 17 Jun 2006 8:56:40 GMT

In looking for an ancestor who has so dissappeared after the 1830 census until the 1850 census. During the mid-1830's and most of the 1840's, he seems to have gone. I have found public notices in newspapers such as public notice with heading of "October 1, 1836 Letters at Post Office" followed by sub-item as "Jacob Clinard of Bainbridge, GA." in the Union Recorder newspaper published in Baldwin Co, GA Oct 18,1836. (Baldwin Co, GA is at least 175 miles north of Bainbridge, GA, I'm curious about that long distance, but, more curious about what happens to the old letters that are not picked up at the post office. Were public notices like this common or standard procedure? Anybody done any newspaper research related to this? Thanks.
