Certainly not common, but not impossible either. I'm not going to go through and count, but I'd guess I have 4 or 5 men in my family tree, close to that timeframe and in the VA/NC/KY area that have married two women with the same given name. Three doesn't seem that unlikely to me. And if they're Marys or Sarahs, which it sometimes seems about every 3rd female was, then your odds go up quite a bit. Just my guess....<shrug> -- Tara Larkin Remove NO SPAM to reply by email.

Is anyone able to help find where he is buried please? start by lookig at St Brides parish records possibly on film? London Metropolitan Archives City church yards were closed by act of parliament and the great victorian cemeteries established eg The London Necropolis Company, also London Necropolis & National Mausoleum Company, was set up in 1850, and established by Act of Parliament in 1852. Its purpose was to create a large metropolitan cemetery, big enough to hold all of London's dead forever. Brookwood Cemetery was set up at Brookwood, Surrey near Woking, landscaped by William Tite, and by 1854 it was the largest cemetery in the world. Funeral trains ran from London Necropolis railway station, adjacent to Waterloo station, directly to platforms within the cemetery itself. (station bombed in WW2 and not restored) The London Necropolis Company was dissolved around 1975, and the cemetery has been administered privately since. WIKI also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Cemeteries_in_London eg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highgate_Cemetery The cemetery in its original form — the western part — opened in 1839, part of a plan to provide seven large, modern cemeteries (known as the "Magnificent Seven") around the outside of London. The inner-city cemeteries, mostly the graveyards attached to individual churches, had long been unable to cope with the number of burials and were seen as a hazard to health and an undignified way to treat the dead. The initial design was by architect and entrepreneur Stephen Geary. Highgate, like the others, soon became a fashionable place for burials and was much admired and visited. The Victorian attitude to death and its presentation led to the creation of a wealth of Gothic tombs and buildings. It occupies a spectacular south-facing hillside site slightly downhill from the top of the hill of Highgate itself, next to Waterlow Park, both of which were part of the former Dartmouth Park which covered the area. . . . so he could be anywhere Hugh W

Here is part of it: What do the letters after a Social Security or Medicare number mean? The codes following a Social Security number indicate the type of benefits you are entitled to. The Social Security number followed by one of these codes is often referred to as a claim number and they are only assigned once you apply for benefits. These letter codes may appear on correspondence that you receive from Soical Security or on your Medicare card. They will never appear on a Social Security number card. For example, if your Social Security number is 123-45-6789, then once you apply for retirement benefits, your claim number is 123-45-6789A. This number will also be used as your Medicare claim number, once you are eligible for Medicare.

Does anyone know why a social security number would have the letter 'A' affixed to the end of the number? I can only guess, does it mean amended or adopted??? I seen this number on a Wisconsin death certificate, Social Security Number: 394-xx-xxxx-A (x's replaced for privacy) Thanks

They may not be easily accessible by the general public, but they exist somewhere, possibly in microfilm or microfiche form. I have even seen old books of court records from the late-1800s (in PA of all places) still preserved in their original state.

If he did, there will be a page in the file showing names and addresses of heirs/beneficiaries and you can order a copy of that by mail. Also think about trying to find information about Noella's date of death and place of death so you could search for HER obituary notice to see if there is any mention of children there. GENEALOGICAL RESEARCHER -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks, for the suggestion. The county is Windham. I haven't searched for Noella's obit yet. I have Aug 1974 as an approximate time frame. After the death of her husband, Joseph Rosario Robillard, she remarried a Patrick A Bernier. But upon her death she was buried with her 1st husband Joseph Rosario. Michelle
