[Rose123]

Hi,

Im looking for any information on Rosella Thelma Moncrieff and her family - Born Londonderry Ireland, married Edward Marvin Morton (Born Minnesota), had a son Esk Gordon Morton (Born Melbourne 1886)

In 1916 Rosella was listed as living in America and Edward is deceased ans Esk in living in NZ.

I would love some help to go back further and find more info on Rosella and Edward

Thanks
Rose

Any idea when Rosella was born? civil registration of births in Ireland began 1864 so if she was born before this date there will be no birth certificate.

I checked the civil registration index but the marriage doesn;'t appear to have taken place in Ireland.

There's a post on Genforum (which might be yours?)-

Where is Rosella living in 1916? have you found her in any U.S. census records?

Have you searched for the marriage in Autralian records? (since that's where son was born c1886/7)

Have you found a birth record for Esk? I can't see anything in the VIC BDM indices.

HI,
I cant find a birth cert for Esk in Australia - very frustrating

Also not sure where in the US Rosella was living in 1916 - Rosella was born in 1865

All very frustating - cant seem to find much more than this so any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks
Rose
