Title: Phillimore Coventry
Post by: dabs0 on Friday 30 June 17 09:27 BST (UK)

I seem to have aquired a 1st/2nd cousin via DNA testing that is posing a bit of a mystery. She is certainly not a first cousin, so I am thinking perhaps a second? The complication is that she is in America and adopted. So knows little about her bio family. So asking, just in the off chance someone has this line in their family.
I am looking for the descendants of a Ann Elizabeth PHILLIMORE. Born Coventry about 1920/21. She married an American Soldier Albert Leasure just after the war and Ann moved to Oklahoma. There is a daughter, still in the UK, not sure if still living. The other children went with mum and were either put into foster care or adopted out.

Hi
There's a passenger list on the Willard A Holbrook  for Ann Leasure age 24 15 May 1947 she's born in Cubbington Warickshire.
Last address 25 Chestnut Tree Avenue Foleshill lane Coventry going to join her husband A Leasure at Briston Oklahoma. She takes 2 children with her and her husband is still in the Army.
They had married in Coventry June qtr 1945.
They had two sons Robert and John before she left but I can't see a daughter.
The couple are still together in Oklahoma at least until 1952.4612 N Santa Fe Avenue.So could be  more children born there.
Albert Leasure 29.5.1926-19.4.1976 buried at Oaklawn Memorial Cemetery
Trouble is even if I could find more on the kids I can't post it as they may still be alive.There are records for one of them in the Oklahoma area up to 1996 on Ancestry.

Thanks. I have unearthed some of that info in the past couple of hours, but needed to go out, so didn't have time to update.

However you have added new info for Oklahoma which I was unaware of, thank you.

Although she states Cubbington as a birthplace, I have found her in 1938 with her birth registered in Rugby. Cubbington would be registered in Leamington Spa. Her mother appears to be Edith M. Maycock who married a Ernest T H Phillimore at Rugby in 1930.
