Sybil Wilson Philadelphia PA

[henery]

Hi everyone

I am looking for another relative (as usual very little info)
Would appreciate any help in locating a Sybil Wilson who emigrated to Philadelphia before WW2. Was last believed to be living at:-
3195 New Malta Street.
Only other info, was believed to have travelled back to Liverpool on the Slylvana in early 1950's. Reason just family visit.
Before marriage maiden name was Keeling. Lived in Buxton Derbyshire.
Husbands name maybe Jack or John.
Help would be appreciated.

I gather these are her vital statistics?

Births Dec 1900: Keeling Sybil: Chapel le F./7b/761

Marriages Sep 1919: Keeling Sybil & Wilson John W: Chapel-le-F./7b/2307

(a.k.a. Chapel en le Frith, Derbyshire)

And perhaps this is Sybil (though the birth quarter doesn't quite jibe)?

Hi Lambendsor(aka IGS)
Thanks for your prompt response.
You are spot on with details of Sybil Keeling!!
John Wilson and district Chapel-en-le-Frith for marriage fits in perfectly.
The date of Sybil's death is a bonus. Have you any idea if they had children?
Many thanks
Henery

As listed in the 1930 Census and passenger list above, it appears that they had a son named Richard.

Hi shelleyesq
Pleased to meet you.
Sorry for my slow acknowledgement. Computer problem,hopefully now sorted.
 First let me thank you for the smart work you have carried out on my Sybil Wilson search. The info you provided is outstanding. It is very detailed and matches in with the sparse info I have here.
Can I assume that  John Wilson served in both WW1 and WW2?
You are correct you had supplied info about a son (Richard), presumably this was an only child.
Thanks once again for your input.
Regards
Henery

You're quite welcome, Henery.

It looks like John did fight in WWI.  As for WWII, all men of a certain age were required to complete the draft registration cards.  The cards currently available to the public are from what is referred to as the "old man's draft", as the men were all over 40.  From what I've read, most of these men did not get drafted or fight in WWII.
