Erm. I count my octopi very carefully.

Very long week,Gin.

Love from homexxxxx

ONLY???
Crikey,confirms you is minted Gins...

Yeah I read about that...shocking

It's only about 10 squid for a full days access Mo...

Which means pretty much nada street when you're doing one of those searches.

Gosh,though-Springfield! Who would have thought about a tornado there.

Maureenxx

And.....it was Conklin STREET on the shipping records so there ;-)

Right I see....sorry about that, been a very long week

Shut it Fanny Pants :-P

You harsh MNY????

Only under fluorescents I expect.....Gaslight is so much more flattering.

That Ginny really is hard work nearly all the time... sometimes :-D

YES!!!!!!!!!!!! Fans

Dear heaven the gaslight has not done damage at all.

Just to save on time and money,Gins-get all your ducks in a row and go for them. Unless you're splashing on a monthly deal.

I love you both, Hope I didn't seem harsh.

Maureen

Did Mo-NY add STREET to what to search with?

No she didnt,so why you adding Street?

Best try what she says methinks....."20 Conklin"

Isnt that what I put Conklin Street?

Why not sub yet Mo?

Gins

They will be there. I wouldn't sub up just yet.

Sigh.
"20 Conklin"

Im going to sub for a one day access Mo but not until I am at work as the printers there are much better than my home one!

I found Edith but not Tom? Searched 20 Conklin Street but no Tom

Oooo....thank you thank you thank for taking a look all x

I think the record where Edith is outbound in 1923 has the wrong name for her friend John Ashlin and this should indeed be Tom Ashton! I spent about three days chasing John Ashlin grrrrr

Mo thanks for the site link, never heard of that one.... :-D

Going for a little hunt

Gins,

Have you looked at:
The Springfield Republican > Historical Archive

http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives/?p_product=HA-SUNB&p_theme=histpaper&p_nbid=&p_action=keyword&f_editSearch=yes&p_queryname=2

One of those pay sites.I'm afraid,but you can search for free.

Try searching for "20 Conklin" as well. It seemed to bring up the death and funeral notice for Tom in November 1960.

Best,
Mo

Edit: Got this one by searching for "Edith Crossley".
May 18,1963

Curious! On the Ellis Island site she says she's going to join friend Mr. John Ashlin, 29 Winchester St., Springfield, Mass.

Gin,

I did take a look at your Tom Ashton post earlier but I came up with nothing I'm afraid.

I checked the usual, SSI index, Massachusetts marriages, Naturalization (I know that you like US spellings) records, US obits, World War 11 Draft Cards ect.

I checked the US 1930 census just out of curiosity to see if there were any clues. Under age at first marriage, Tom has recorded 16. Edith has recorded 38 which if true would mean marriage c1923, the year that she immigrated into the US.

Sorry, I have his dull DOB 29/12/1874

I have found everything about Tom except his marriage to Edith Crossley (b1885 Huddersfield) and his death

They either married in Springfield Mass USA or lived together as man and wife, I have them on the 1930 US census.

I also cannot find the death of Edith, she was single when she went to the US in 1923

They were both still alive and kicking in 1951 and living in Springfield US, I have them on shipping records.

A new pair of eyes might just help...please

Thank you :-)
