We are trying to locate cousins in the US.
Husband's gt.gt.uncle William Arthur and his 1st wife Nan (nee Rose) emigrated to USA in 1907. Initially to East Pittsburgh where William was to work for Westinghouse. Then on to work in a consultancy capacity to The Yale & Towne Mfg. company, Stamford, Connecticut.
Their only daughter, Lezlie, was born on 29th November 1908. The family had a house in New Haven, called Windy Fell.
Lezlie went on to marry James Oliver Pease and they had 2 daughters, Olivia and Deborah.
Olivia had two daughters (that we know of) (*) and (*). (*) as born on 12 September 1963.
We know that Lezlie died in Saint Lucie, Florida 19th January 1994.
My husband is the gt.gt. grandson of William's elder brother, Thomas William Arthur, and we now have contact with the relations of another one of his brothers, George Arthur. These are Australians.
The daughter-in-law, married to one of the sons of Thomas' 3rd marriage, is still living in Australia and, through her and my husband's 1st cousin (also living in Australia) we have already found such a wealth of information!
This includes a copy of William Arthur's book "Fore and Aft"
Hopefully, the name of Olivia's eldest daughter - (*)- will be unusual enough for us to be able to trace.
Any help or advice would be appreciated!
Oh, and William remarried after the sad death of Nan. I believe his 2nd wife was Katrine Perkins.
