US Lookup Requests / George H Rose buried in Oak Hill Cemetery Owosso, Shiawassee, Michigan
« on: Monday 27 August 12 17:49 BST (UK)  »
My great, great grandparents, George H Rose and Marion Rose emigrated to USA in 1883. My great great grandmother returned to England with the two children in the early 1890's. The family never knew what happened to George who remained in the states. I have found George on several US census returns  up to 1920 but have never managed to trace his birth record in England or death records in USA.

I have recently found that there is a grave stone in Oak Hill Cemetery, Owosso, Shiawassee, Michigan which is for a George H Rose 1856 - 1927. I believe this is the grave of my great, great grandfather.

Can anyone tell me the best way to try and obtain a death certificate? The stone does not give the exact date of death only the year. Any help would be very much appreciated.

I do not think these are my relatives. We have a connection with Beckington, my grandparents were married in the parish church there in 1903. However, your man's surname is Haine but mine are Haines ending with an S. My great grandparents are buried in the churchyard at Berkley nr Frome, I seem to remember when searching for their graves we came across a grave stone with the family name of Haine. I guess Haine/Haines are local names to that part of the world.

I posted this request last year. Earlier this year, I at last managed to trace grandfather's army records at Kew. It was quite a hunt, he later served in WW1 and both his Indian army records and war records had been put onto his pension record.

I have now established that he did serve in the Royal Artillery, the 54th F.B.R.A. He also served in the RFA in WW1.

My grandfather's family were farmers from the Westbury and Frome area, we have no connections with Brighton.

This is a picture of my grandfather, Edward Haines. He served in India between 1892 and 1902. Can anyone help me to identify his regiment from this photograph?

Thanks

Census Lookup and Resource Requests / Re: Missing from 1891 census - can anyone help?
« on: Saturday 25 March 06 21:12 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Millerina

Many thanks for finding this information for me. I have been going round in circles for weeks trying to solve the problem!

I think it is too much of a coincidence not to be Mabel, she would have been 7 on the day of the census as her birthday was May. Lydia Laywell was born in Westbury as was my great-grandmother. The spelling could easily be Rose not Base. I gather that incorrect spelling on the census in not uncommon, I will bear this in mind in future hunting!

Thank you

Annie

Census Lookup and Resource Requests / Missing from 1891 census - can anyone help?
« on: Saturday 25 March 06 13:07 GMT (UK)  »
I am unable to trace my great-grandmother and grandmother on the 1891 census. They are Marion Catherine Rose (born Jones in Westbury Leigh, Wiltshire 1856 and Mabel Catherine Rose Born Chicago, United States 1883).

Marion returned from America sometime after 1885 with Mabel and Arthur (born Chicago 1885). I have traced Arthur on 1891 census age 6 years at a private school in Twickenham but no trace of Marion or Mabel.

I understand that my grandmother stayed with family on her return from America and went to school in Marylebone area of London. Marions first husband George Rose (born 1860) came from London.

Marion remarried in 1895 a Henry Stiles (born 1845) in Keynsham, Somerset and by 1897 they were Innkeepers of Full Moon Inn, Rudge, Somerset which was near to where Marions family lived. I can't trace Henry on 1891 census either!

Can anyone help me find Marion and Mabel in 1891?

Many thanks

Hi Wendi

Sorry,  I meant medal card! - This is the trouble with only being able to reply in the evening after being at work all day, I am a bit bleary eyed! His number was 96858, if someone could help me with some information about him I would be very grateful.

I went to the BBC Family History day in Gloucester, RootsChat had a stand there.  A lady called Sue spent a long time talking to me about how RootsChat could well help me with my research. The name she uses on Roots Chat was an ancestors foreign surname, I think it started with Kaz?? I came straight home and joined! With the help from RootsChat I have already found that my greatgrandfather lived in America for many years after the family believed he died!

Hi Annie

Thanks for the welcome! I have only just discovered RootsChat following a visit to the recent BBC family history day. I have received some great help in my research from people on this site and I am so pleased to have found it.

My grandfather was not the person you found, he did not have such a high rank as major, I think he was a bombardier in the Royal Field Artillery! He did survive the war and did not have a second name.  I  think I have downloaded  his medical card, Its just that you can't be sure from the limited information contained on it. I gather there will be little chance of finding his war record. I will have to try and visit Kew to see if I can obtain his service record when he served in the army in the 1890's.

Thanks

Annie
