Goodrich in Baltimore Maryland

[mickcee]

Seeking maiden name of Mary F. Goodrich, died July 22 1922, buried St Marys Episcopal Cemetery, Hampden.
 Also seeking info on my wife's grandfather's American family. Grandfather was Richard Charles Goodrich, born at 107  Cedar Ave Evergreen, Baltimore City MD in 1894, moved to Australia about 1913. The street is now Keswick Rd. His mother was Mary Lewes - is this lady the Mary F. Goodrich who died in 1922. Adelbert (stone cutter and also Police in a couple of Baltimore Directories) seems to have died about 1906-7. Adelbert, son of Hiram and Jane (Whipple) was born 1851 in Oswego NY. There is also a Hiram died 5/5/1972 buried in same plot as Mary F.. Is he Hiram Hubbard Goodrich and if so maybe a connection with Hubbard Goodrich of William Bingham Goodrich family.

Hello Sandra, thanks for your Post. The earlier Posts you referred me to were actually mine. As a result of the responses to them I have been able to delve a little further into the family, but the absence of Birth, Death & Marriage Indexes on-line over in US make it near impossible to track them down from over here in Australia. Hence the requests on this Forum.

The link to previous threads was posted so people don't duplicate what's already been found.

Have you tried to contact the cemetery to see if they have further information?

If he died in Baltimore, there is a death index that covers 1972 here - http://mdvitalrec.net/cfm/dsp_seriesunit.cfm?qu=CE&sr=42&tp=d&src=cty&it=pages

Please note that Mary F. Goodrich died on July 22 1921 - not 1922 as I previously wrote. Sorry about that.

Hi
I found Adelbert and family in 1900 Census listed in Hampden Baltimore City as Delbert Godridge.
This was only after I found Jess Lewis who purchased the cemetery Lot in which Mary F Goodrich was buried in 1921. Jess seems to have been Mary F's brother and lived nearby in Hampden, so I went back street by street in the Census and, there they were!!

I have purchased the Death Certificate of Mary F. Goodrich from Baltimore State Archives and I'm currently waiting for it's delivery.
I have found a listing of a death on June 3 1904 for an Adelbert Goodrich in Smyrna New York. I don't know if is the man I am looking for, but he had a brother, John W Goodrich in Smyrna and also a sister, Grace E. Storr in Sherborne, so it may be he died while visiting his siblings.
Can anyone help with how to get an Index Number for this Death so I can order a copy? All my searches for New York Vital Statistics on the 'net have been unsuccessful.
Cheers
MickC

You don't need a number to order death certificates from New York State.  You can see more information about ordering them here - http://www.health.ny.gov/vital_records/genealogy.htm

It appears that Adelbert was age 53 at his death - http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nychenan/smy1904v.htm

On www.fultonhistory.com, there are a number of articles that mention Adelbert Goodrich.  Not sure if all the mentions are of the same guy, but one story says he was a Baltimore telephone operator who had a scare while doing work at an insane asylum.

Shelley, thanks for the links to those sites - especially the one for the certificates. I'll have a better look in the morning - it's late here now.
Cheers
