There is a birth recorded in Fitchburg in 1912. Llewellyn Mitchell Stearns, born April 19, to Stanley born Bellows Falls, VT and Nellie Davis, born England. You can find the record on familysearch.org, but I found it on a paid sight - Americanancestors.org Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I know some of you wonderful people go to the MA Archives to research your genealogy. I was wondering if somebody could squeeze in a look up for me next time you went to the archives? My main line of research is HARRINGTON but I need research on CUTLER and/or/CLARK of Windsor, MA to solve a mystery. WYMAN CUTLER was b abt 1765 in Windsor, MA. He died at age 23 in Killingly, CT. His first child was WEBB CUTLER and he was born 3 Feb 1780 in Windsor MA when Wyman was just 15. According to WYMAN CUTLER'S Will and land records he married a woman named Anna(h) and I believe her last name to be CLARK. Because they were in Windsor when WEBB CUTLER was born I can only presume that they were married in Windsor MA before 3 Feb 1780(I would hope). After WYMAN CUTLER died Anna(h)(Clark?) married my ancestor Samuel HARRINGTON. On a family record it says children of Samuel HARRINGTON and Anna(h) CLARK: It lists first 4 children with the surname of CUTLER then 8 children with the surname of HARRINGTON. I have the death certificates of two of the HARRINGTON children and the father of the deceased is listed as Samuel but the mother is SOPHIA. What I want to do is get records that are more accurate than d.c. and compare the Harrington and Cutler children to make sure that ANNA and SOPHIA are indeed the same person and mother to both the Cutler children and the Harrington children and that Anna/aka/Sophia is married to SAMUEL HARRINGTON. If somebody could find a birth listing for WEBB CUTLER b 3 Feb 1780 in Windsor, MA it may show his mother's full name such as Annah CLARK. Or if there are any church or town records showing the marriage of WYMAN CUTLER in Windsor probably before February of 1780, it would surely show the bride's name and hopefully it will say Anna Clark. I will then get birth or marriage records of the HARRINGTON children and compare names. Does anybody on the list recognize any of the aforementioned people and have any info on them? Is anybody willing to look up birth or marriage records for me when they go to the MA ARCHIVES? I truly appreciate any consideration and time you give to this matter. Thank you in advance, Renne Harrington Blocker ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ 57-Year-Old Mom Looks 25 Mom Reveals $5 Wrinkle Trick That Has Angered Doctors! http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3141/4ea5740e469d210b6579st06duc

Joan, Do you know anything about John O'Donnell(dob where-parents etc). Who if you know were Cecila's parents-sibblings.

My grandmother was an O'Donnell from Co Donegal, with cousins named O"Donnell and Doherty in Co Cork, also her mothers maiiden name was Doherty. Ceila Doherty too, but she and her family resided in(after immig) the mid west. barb

I don't know where to begin as I don't know of any sister she had with the initials S L, but they could be the husband's initials. Can anyone offer me any ideas please how to track this person down?

Hello, James McCool and Cecelia Daugherty/Doherty were married on March 28, 1867 in Boston, Ma. This information came from the Archdiocese of Boston. James & Celia had 4 children: Daniel, Edward, Mary Ellen and Annie. Daniel and Edward died at early ages. Mary Ellen, Annie and Celia went back to Clonmany, County Donegal, Ireland some time after James died. Word through the family says Mary Ellen died shortly after arriving in Clonmany. Annie eventually married John O'Donnell ... Kevin's grandfather. Story doesn't end there because we still don't know if we are related. You were all very helpful. I thank you so much for all of the information. Joan

I have now found how to look at the directories in full and its very interesting. Yes the 1922 directory was published 30/08/1922 and it appears he was single then so he must have married after that date but where? I havent had a reply from the archives so going to try the vital statistics next week. Thanks again Gill Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Since Hampden does appear in the directory itself with Harriet, I am inclined to believe they were not married in Beverly. So hopefully the Archives can come through with a place and a date. You are fortunate in that Hampden is not a very common name. This has been a great learning exercise for me, so thank you!

Ancestry is a little funny with how they expose the directories. I had done a search of all Massachusetts content, and there is a specific category for directories. The 1924 directory there seems different than the one that is available via US Directories. Anyway, in the 1923 directory available via US Directories, if you go to page 525, you'll find Hampden B and his wife Harriet B. The Hampton that you found in the Street section appears to be a typo, even though it appears in 1923 and 1924. And since Harriet appears in the 1923 directory, you have further narrowed the range of the years for the marriage. :) Based on this page, an * indicates that there is a telephone at that address... http://search.ancestry.com/Browse/view.aspx?dbid=1540&path=Massachusetts.Beverly.1923.Beverly, Massachusetts 1923.126 Cheers!

Also do you happen to know what * against their names mean, I was wondering if it indicated married or maybe head of the household. I am waiting to hear from the archives do hope they can find something. Thanks again for the info. Regards Gill Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I had noticed the UK arrival register listing Hampden Robinson in 1936. It indicated that his intended future residence was not England, so I presumed he was just there for a visit. I also noticed a probate listing from 1938 for a Hampden that lived in Blackpool and died Oct 3, 1937 in Fylde Institution Hospital, leaving his estate to Harriet Robinson.
