Mary Janice Rule-Actress

[maryanne]

I aren't sure that is the correct place to ask, this but here goes.
Janice Rule (actress)died in 2003 and I have found her in the 1930 and 1940 census. Her father was John and her mother Kathleen.
I would like to know if there anyway of finding out if her ancestors came from Cornwall UK?
A number of Rule's emigrated to the USA from Cornwall.

If you Google her name - you get this.

Born in Norwood, Ohio to parents of Irish origin

I have googled her name and I came across that information.
According to the 1930 and 1940 census both of her parents were born in Missouri.
I was just curious as to whether any of her Rule ancestors came from Cornwall. Rule is a well known surname in parts of Cornwall.

You would have to track back via her father for that info - not Janice

You would have to obtain his parents details and work backwards from there

According to the US census her parents were John and Kathleen and John was born in 1906.
I have searched online for a Missouri marriage of John and Kathleen hoping that I would find his parents names,but without success.

[CaroleW]

Can you find John on the 1910 census which should give his parents names plus their origin

The 1930 shows him as John C

There are several public trees on Ancestry for this family.  Father John Christopher mother Frances Kathleen Forbes

Grandparents Charles William Rule b 1871 Missouri and Lula or Lulu M Teague b 1872

There are photos of late family members and reading back to 1845 on the Rule side shows no connection to anywhere except the USA

Thanks for your help.
In the 1900 census it states that Christopher Rule (as he is called then) has his father's birthplace as Germany and his wife's parents were from ireland.So no Cornish connection.

An old post but here goes.
I need help to find Christopher's birth .
Christopher was born in Maryland 1843 but I can't find the birth of him so don't know who his mother is.
Any help will be appreciated.
