Hello

Would like to take up your very kind offer of an American Census look up.

I only very recently discovered that my maternal grandfather's sister went to America early 1900's.

From my own research, I have found the following info:

Selena Lilley born c1885 probably in Larne, County Antrim

married on 18/06/1907 in Manhattan, New York to

Alexander Blair date and place of birth not known.

Selena's Parents were Alexander Lilley and Ann June/Jane? Lilley (maiden name unknown).

Alexander's parents were John Blair and Martha Mowhinny (?spelling).

I have nothing else and at moment, am not even sure if Selena's parents also went to America or if it was only her.

Anything you may find out would be very welcome.

Thanks in advance  .

Cathy,
  I did a bit of hunting and this is what I came up with.

The part of the image not here states that...The first two in the list were born in Germany as were their parents.. The children all were born in Ohio as were their parents??... Occupation of Peter and the oldest two boys were Farmer and farm laborer... younger children listed as At school... there was one more child listed on the next page.. Edward  5yrs May 1897...

If this isnt your family then I am at a loss to find them..
This family was listed as Fowsch at ancestry, but seemed to me to fit.. They stated wifes name as Vertie but it looked like Victoria to me..

Hope this is the one..

Jennifer

Hi Jennifer,
I think you really have come up with the goods for me. this time. You have found my family despite the change of name! This is my first link to researching my Ggrandmother Clara Trausch (Fowsch) and her parents
You mention the first two in the list born in Germany that  the image is missing do they have the same Surnames? If so I would love to have this info too.

Many many thanks for your help

Cathy,
 
Your welcome am Glad I could help.. By the first two in the list I was refering to Peter and Victoria.. They were born in Germany as were their parents... The children were all born in Ohio and it said their parents were too.. that was the part that didnt make sense since their parents were shown on the same page as being both born in Germany....
When I saved the image I only saved the names and vital statistic part.. the places of birth didnt fit in the image area I could save..
