Hi, I have been away from my genealogy research for awhile due to a difficult
pregnancy, but my latest (and last) branch of my tree is doing great and I am
ready to start my research again.
I am looking for any information on a Charles Henry Briggs who was a shoe
laster (maker) in Jersey City from 1891 until 1902-03. Charles was married
to May (Mary) Agnes McCarthy. Charles Henry lists on his marriage
certificate that his parents are, Father-Charles and mothers maiden
name-Stella Briggs. On Char
Hello...my grandparents married on Nov 11 1916 in the
office of the Deputy Clerk of the Borough of
Manhatten.
Wondering if (1) Anyone can brief me on Hudson Heights
and (2) if anyone knows how to contact or connect with
that office in Manhatten. Also, is there an internet
address for the Supreme Court Chancery Division in
Trenton? Thanks, all. Dan

I am desirous of corresponding with anyone who might be connected with the
following STEWART family who lived in East Newark at the turn of the century:
John M. STEWART (1836-1906), a baker and served in the Civil War, married
Mary Agusta FOSTER (1840-1903). Mary was daughter of James FOSTER, born in
England and Josephine ? born in France. John M. and Mary A. STEWART are
buried in Arlington Cemetery, Kearny, NJ.
John M. STEWART was the son of Robert STEWART and Mary ?
John and Mary had th
I have never heard of a Boeck Street in Kearny or Arlington.
I did know two Gillmann boys. One was a grade or two ahead of me and the
other was just behind me. Since I do not recall them from school, it is
possible they went to a private school. I believe their father was a
banker. They resided on Belgrove Drive which is very close to Midland Ave.
I also believe the father was the Treasurer for the First Presbyterian
Church in Arlington in the late 50's ( I believe it is on Kearny Ave at
Laurel Avenue)
If anyone has a city directory for Bayonne years 1905 and/or1906 I would
appreciate a lookup for an Annie Conklin or Annie Barron, or Annie Barron
Conklin prusumably married to an Edwad Joseph Conklin. Edward was aged 31 in
Dec. of 1905.
Thanks,
George Conklin

Birth, marriage, and death certificates can be obtained from the State of New Jersey. The address and fees are at www.state.nj.us/health/vital/vital.htm . Vital Statistics generally blocks out the cause of death on the death certificates which it provides; with paperwork it is possible to obtain the cause of death on a lineal ancestor. Records for May 1848 to May 1878 can also be obtained from the State Archives. The Archives does not block out the cause of death. The Archives' address and fees are at
Hi, I am trying to locate any information regarding my mother-in-laws
death. Her name was Helen Gladys Barton RATCLIFFE, she died, December
21, 1964. Her death I believe was recorded as accidental. Her husband,
whom she was estranged from, was Richard Thomas RATCLIFFE. If someone
could please look in the old newspaper articles or can find any
information on her I would appreciate it. She died in Jersey City, NJ.
Thank you. Linda Barton

Schuetzen Park is still there on Kennedy Boulevard (at, or near 32nd
Street), and the Altenheim was also still there the last that I heard.
However, neither of these is near Weehawken. The park is located on the
Western edge of the raised section of the Palisades, while Weehawken is
under the Eastern side of the raised land.

The last scrap of info realates to a birth in Hoboken, and hence I am

try next.

exhausted I have found that

George,
Asking for help is normal in genealogy, that is one of the reasons for the
mail lists --to help others. The usual channels are to ask but patience is
the key to that end. You have no need to apologize to anyone.
Good luck

If someone has access to the Holy Cross Cemetery records in North Arlington,
I would like to know if there is a record for Catherine (FARRELL) STEWART.
She was born about 1860 to James FARRELL and Bridget BYRNES. She was married
to Samuel J. STEWART, 5 June 1888, St. Michael's Church, Newark, NJ. In 1904
Samuel died and was buried in Arlington Cemetery. Catherine is NOT buried
there. She was still alive in 1916. I have no date of death for her.
Catherine and Samuel had three daughters. In the
Hello list,
Could someone familiar with York St. in Jersey city give me a little
information on whether this would have been a residential area in 1866?
Specifically 145 York St. is where I think my Thomas W. Morehouse and
his wife Ann Marie lived and their stove business was at 142 Greene St.
Could someone also tell me what ward 145 York St. would have been in
for the 1860 census?
Thank you,
