United States of America / Re: Marriage Mary Murphy to Jonas Mikalsen Iversen
« on: Yesterday at 12:58 »
More recent records are available, but I don't know how much is available from San Francisco from then, if that's where they married.  According to https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/San_Francisco_County,_California_Genealogy - "Courthouse and all records were destroyed in the great earthquake and fire of 1906."

Some other links to California marriage records here:

It looks like the name changed to Everson.

This has some information about Isabella being born to Jonas' first wife Mary Elizabeth Kline from the Netherlands, so that would narrow down the time frame of the 2nd marriage.

The coroner records for Mary are here - https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33SQ-G5NK-7N2?view=index&personArk=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AQ23Q-HXKZ&action=view&cc=1402856&lang=en&groupId=  Son William is mentioned on there. 

Mary's obituary mentions sons William and the late Joseph - https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-san-francisco-examiner-obituary-for/175143801/

The original poster hasn't been here in a long time, but in case they return:

It looks like Blossom married Wayne C. Brosey in 1928.  Newspaper article about it - https://www.newspapers.com/article/intelligencer-journal/174966930/

It looks like Wayne married someone else in 1930, when Blossom was shown as divorced in the 1930 census - https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:VNT4-T5M?lang=en 

Blossom is mentioned as attending a birthday party in 1936 - https://www.newspapers.com/article/lancaster-new-era/174967149/

There is a tree that has Blossom as remarried and in Ohio as of the 1940 census - https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KWGH-GQZ?lang=en  Not sure if that's correct.  The tree also lists Blossom's father as John Franklin Hogentogler, born 8 Aug. 1882, died 20 Mar. 1954, both events in Columbia, Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania, and her mother as Anna McCall.  Again, not sure if that's correct.

There's a Mary McClelland who went to Boston, arriving 11 May 1890.  https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QV51-VSBX?lang=en  The actual passenger list doesn't give any other useful information.  It could be her, but it doesn't specify a middle name or initial.

Per her death certificate, St. Raymond's Cemetery.  https://a860-historicalvitalrecords.nyc.gov/view/6780815  I think it's in the Bronx.

There are some various New York probate records here.  https://www.familysearch.org/en/search/collection/1920234  Usually, the records come from after the date of the death or even years later.  Some people filed wills before their death, but I think that tends to be more common among people with more money to leave.

Where did the information come from that he was in Kings County/Brooklyn?  I found a naturalization record with that address, but it's from New York County (Manhattan) and I didn't see any mention of Kings County on it.  There are some streets in Brooklyn named Park, but the only Park Row I know of is in Manhattan.

Canada seems like the most likely possibility if they went straight to Michigan, but I wouldn't rule out other options.  I had ancestors who went to Ohio by way of New Orleans around 1850.  East coast ports followed by a train trip could be a possibility too.

I didn't see any definite passenger lists for Mary & the daughters in 1896-1897, but is it possible they left earlier than that?  Maybe they went overseas for a funeral or for Mary to care for a sick relative and James met his untimely death because no one was there to see how he was doing?  I don't recall if there was any discussion in the previous thread about James' estate, but if there were anything happening in that area, that might indicate where Mary & the daughters were living shortly after his death.

US Cemetery and Funeral Home Collection
Ronald Frederick Perkins was born 4 May 1929 died 24 March 2012
Spouse (*)
Child Douglas Raymond Perkins.

That entry was actually for the son Douglas, who died in 2020 and was survived by his mother.  https://www.sharpfuneralhomes.com/obituaries/douglas-perkins  I couldn't find a mention of her death, and she may be young enough to still be living.
