I am looking for information on my 2nd great grand parents, Jan Osial and Kazimiera Konchalska who were born just outside Warsaw, Poland approx 1880-1885. I would be keen to learn more of their Polish backgound and whether any death records can be located for Jan Osial.
From what I have found out from family, Kazimiera Konchalska (b. approx 1885 – just outside Warsaw, Poland d. 1957 – Wrexham, Wales) was born of the landed gentry owning farms and a mill. It is said that when she was 16 she met an illiterate peasant named Jan Osial (b. Uknown d. Unknown). Kazimiera’s parents were impressed by his manners and ambition and gave their consent to the wedding.
Jan and Kazimiera Osial had four daughters, Lucja (Lucia – b. 1906 d. 1978 – New York), Jozefa (Josephine – b. 1908 d. Unknown), Wiktorja (Victoria Emily - b. 1911 d. 2002 Adelaide, South Australia) and XXXX (b. 1918 - current).
I understand Jan Osial was an entrepreneur and moved the family to Vladivostok, Russia. Sometime in the early 1920’s the family moved to Japan where he listed himself as a cloth merchant. They settled in Japan for some time as my great grandmother, Victoria, married an english man and settled there until his death in 1938.
Any help with locating records of Jan Osial and Kazimiera Konchalska would be really helpful.
Thank you!
