Thomas Musgrave. Death help please. Pennsylvania.

Hi Ben: I thought that Robert Wilson might have been ill.

It is probable that death date is correct. Be good to look for an obituary or something now.

Hi Ben: Ten thousand people and counting have read this thread. That should give us some additional incentive to find Thomas Musgrave's death.

John

Yes it should.

He must have still been alive by January 1906 as we know he must have died after that month which saw the onset of registration of deaths in PA and we know he was dead by the April 1910 census.

If he was still alive in December 1907 he'd have turned 80 that month. His death record may give his exact DOB as the 1900 census says he was born Dec 1827 and he was baptised 23rd Dec 1827 in Darlington, Durham, England.

Hi Bob

Many thanks for your message and for hearing from you. What is your connection to the Prosser family?

Good to post that list. When you get up to 3 messages you can PM me.

My wife's maiden is Moran. Her mother's maiden name was Simmonds.  Her grandmother was Elizabeth Edna Posser Simmonds.

I found your post by searching the Internet looking for info regarding Roy Prosser.  He was Edna's nephew.  I have a number of photos of the Prosser family and I was trying to find descendents of Roy's in order to pass on some of the info.

Of particular interest to me is a 3 page single spaced, typewritten letter and photo that Roy sent to his parents and sisters while serving in the US Army during WWII. In the letter he provides a lot of info about the time he spent fighting in North Africa, Sicily then Italy.  The letter was written while he was in Anzio.

The letter is something that his grandchildren should have.

I forgot to attached a copy of a hand written note that is part of the info as well as a photo taken of Roy Prosser in March 1944 while he was in Anzio.
