Moreton family
« on: Friday 27 April 12 15:24 BST (UK) »
I'm trying to trace descendants of LILY MORETON (Born 1913 in Ashton under Lyne) (daughter of Thomas Price Moreton and Elizabeth Thelwell).   Thomas and Elizabeth emigrated to the USA post 1913.  In 1911 Thomas and Elizabeth had 4 other children - PERCY, FRANCIS JOSIAH, THOMAS PRICE, and  MARY ELIZABETH. 

Lily married Elmer Lee Beard in 1930 and they lived in Laconia, Indiana.  I don't know if Lily and Elmer had any children, but would be grateful for any help to fill in the blanks on the family tree.

Thanks for reading this post.

Are you certain that everyone you mentioned is deceased?  It is against the rules of Roots Chat to post about people who are living or may be living.

Maybe it's just me, but I'm not finding these people.  Could you give some more details?  How do you know they went to the US and what information do you have on the marriage to Elmer Beard and the residence in Indiana?  Are there known alternative spellings for Moreton?

There's a WWII enlistment record that seems to fit Elmer from 1942, and he is listed as single with no dependents.  He appears to be single in the 1930 Census, too.

The Kentucky death index gives Elmer's date of death as 29 Jun. 1962 in Jefferson Co.
