US Lookup Requests / Re: Swallows in New York from 1907
« on: Monday 27 December 10 01:47 GMT (UK)  »
You’re welcome, Diane; glad I could help some. 

Eisenhower and 1952 - wow, that IS a long time ago!  “...they obviously never discussed so prosaic matters, politics being so much more riveting”  LOL!  Interesting story about Howard, and I bet you’re right that their first born was named after your grandfather.  I wonder if my cousin’s family even knows about Mrs. N. offering to take him to the US with her.  How could anyone not be into their family’s history; it’s SO interesting!

I tried to attach two pictures, but the Attach box won't come up.  If you want me to e-mail them to you directly, you can write to me at my e-mail address -

If you do, I won't give your address to anyone.


Best Wishes for successful researching in 2011, Diane!

Diane, here’s an interesting - albeit sad - tidbit.

Even though the Swallows are not my family, I couldn’t help but look around for something other than censuses, etc.

In the Brooklyn Daily Eagle of Tuesday, 07 April 1914, page 18, is the following “Acknowledgment” .....

“SWALLOW - Mr. and Mrs. Walter Swallow of 1278 Atlantic av wish to thank their many friends for their kind sympathy shown to them in their recent bereavement of their little daughter.”

I haven’t found a death notice for her, but I checked the NYC Death Index online and saw this listing -

Swallow Marguerite E    1 y    Apr 4  1914   Cert. No. 7341

Poor little girl, born and died between the 1910 Federal Census and the 1915 NY State Census and probably not known by all researchers.  How nice that those who didn’t know she existed are remembering her now at this time of year.

Hello again Diane,

My cousin’s grandmother is the 9 year old Julia on the 1901 Census in Little Hadham.

She was born 25 November 1891 in Little Haddam and died 24 April 1988 in Brooklyn, Kings Co., New York.

She married Thomas Neary (b. 23 June 1888, County Mayo, Ireland; d. 13 July 1950, Brooklyn, Kings Co., NY) in 1916 in Brooklyn, Kings Co., NY.  Sorry, I don’t have the exact date.

Assuming all is well with PM, I will continue there tomorrow.

Helen

Hello Diane,

Never a problem in getting back to me whenever it's convenient for you.

I can’t reply to your PM because members must make at least three postings before being allowed to do so.  I’ve been a long time lurker but only registered to reply to your post as I thought you might like to hear from someone who actually knew your Julia Swallow. 

My cousin’s grandmother is definitely your great-great aunt! 

I will post this and then post again in a while in order to have those three postings so that I can use PM to give you more information since the family isn’t into genealogy research and I wouldn’t want to offend anyone.

Helen

Diane, Julia Swallow was my cousin's grandmother (not related to me though).  Since your original post is old, you may already have the info you need.  If not, I'll be glad to tell you what I know.   

Helen
