Looking For Joseph Owram in USA - Again

[woolley]

Hi Mab,

Interesting about M Starr wonder if he was the enumerator mentioned earlier.
Its nice to know that this family line continued,

The scottish connection looks worth chasing up (already got 2 stacked awaiting a visit to the Scottish Records Office.)

I,ve yet to add the new info to my tree, next job, you never know I might get a hit on another tree.

Cheers

Always a possibility that you will find a connection with another tree...good luck. It's a pity about the 1890 census being mostly destroyed....it would be great to find the other children. That's the year I need too 

There's also the Nova Scotia Canada connection as well....maybe you have some Canadian relatives out there

I think I've found David Murrey in the 1841 census Kincardineshire, Scotland but will check further.

One hit from a family tree in Nova Scotia, still got to check it.

This is proving very interesting

Hi Mab,
Found these in 1881 Census
Household:

  David MURRAY         M    Male      42   Scotland   Farmer 
 Lydia Ann MURRAY   M   Female   45   Nova Scotia     
 Sarah MURRAY              Female   15   Nova Scotia     
 Hugh MURRAY               Male       14   Nova Scotia   Son 
 Adeline MURRAY            Female   10   Nova Scotia     
 A.D.Simon MURRAY       Male         9   Nova Scotia     
 E.Lavinia MURRAY         Female     5   Nova Scotia     

Could these be them, but with an arrival date of 1884 for David ??

Cheers Allan

he emigrated from Scotland in 1884

Ooops....I should clarify.....he didn't emigrate from Scotland in 1884.....he emigrated to the USA in 1884 

Good find

From The Lincoln County Leader - "New arrivals: H R Sturdevant and Mrs J P Owram and families, May 16 1895"

Keeping in line with this -

http://users.wi.net/~census/lesson18.html

Oram, Jenne Sturdevant (1825-1907) d/o Sam Sturdevant

Sturdevant, Hamilton R (?-?); Sturdevant, Ira Claire Starr (1854-1925); Sturdevant, Marion Sanford (?-?) pvt WWI

Maybe there is a Starr relative, but not her father?

Phew,

Thought that was a stonewall for one minute

Thanks

So David Murray emigrated to Canada met his wife and had a family and the moved to the USA.

Shelly....by any chance do you see a death for Hugh's father David

Just seen your question Mab, would be nice
