Hi,

I didn't find your Michael Doherty, however I did find Russell Street in the 1920 census. I've written down the family names so you could search for them in the 1930 in order to find Russell Street again. I searched through 5 districts before finding the closest address. Russell Street appears in several districts of Charlestown, off and on.

I didn't find 33 or 35 Russell Street. I did check the last two pages as that is where they enumerate households they missed - however I didn't find the person (or the address) you are searching, in the 1920.

Hi,

I am trying to determine who the parents were of Robert Hume. Would the name of at least his father be on a Cheshire marriage record from 1860, or both parents? I am not too familiar with English vital records.

Robert HUME married Mary COOKSON - Great Boughton, Cheshire - July, August or Sept. of 1860.
A reference is given of volume 8a, page 482.

1871 census - Robert Hume is with wife Mary and 7 children in Cuddington, Cheshire. It states he was born at Long Melford, Suffolk.

1861 census - Robert Hume is with wife Mary & sister Mary Hume; parish of John the Baptist, Boughton ward, Chester. It states he was born at Long Melford, Suffolk.

1851 census - unable to locate Robert Hume.

1841 census - it is possible he is with parents named John and Sarah Hume at Long Melford, Suffolk ... Robert, age 7 yrs. old. That same Robert appears not to be with them in 1851.

Robert Hume
Born c. 1834 Long Melford, Suffolk
Married 1860 Great Boughton, Cheshire
Died 1890 Leeds, Yorkshire, aged 56 yrs. old

I realize I can write to request his marriage and death records (or view microfilm) but perhaps there is a book look-up, index or something else on-line which I may be unaware of.

Sorry so long! These are the details as I know them. Didn't want anyone else to duplicate efforts.

Many thanks in advance!
Kate

Hi Thombenn,

Do you know where in Newfoundland the marriage took place? Do you know which religious faith they belonged to?
That would be important information in order for them to check their church record microfilms they have in NL or for you writing to a particular parish or a diocese/synod.

The Memorial University of Newfoundland will conduct research (for a fee) and they do have surname files. I did check on-line at their website and they do have the Clarke surname. They also will search marriages which were gleaned from newspapers. Again, research fees would apply.

Marriages: 1810 - 1890

There are 3 Newfoundland newspapers on-line, one of which may cover the time-span you need to search. Look for The Newfoundlander (from St. John's; not all dates) at:

Hi Kieran,

I checked the NY Times for their obituaries. For each (Helen & Henry - aka Harry Bradley), I checked the month they died and the month following their deaths, respectively. I didn't find anything.

The Newspaper Archive website says they have the New York Herald 1764 - 2004. That may or may not be true. If it is like the newspaper archive at Google, there may be large gaps. Newspaper Archive is a paid subscription site but they may offer a trial.

Genealogy Bank didn't come up with your Bradley names, at least when I tried it. They're a paid subscription site too, but I did a freebie search.

The NY Public Library - ask them.
Bronx Library Center
http://www.nypl.org/locations/bronx-library-center
or the main branch ...
http://www.nypl.org/ask-nypl

The library has many newspaper holdings on microfilm. They do have the Bronx Press-Review, a weekly paper that has been around since 1940, on microfilm and should have the dates you need <1983:4:14-7:7,21-1985:4:11>
<1985:4:25-1989:12:28>. They also have the New York Daily News archive on microfilm.

And, hopefully, this volunteer is still active:

Obituary Look-up Volunteers, New York

Look for "Barbara B." under New York county.

Best of luck Kieran!
