Hi Listers, 1990 census shows THOMAS J HEATH, born Sept 1851 in England in St Louis, Missouri. Emigrated in 1856. Has been in America for 44 years. Thomas is 48 years old in 1890. He is chief clerk for R.R., as is his eldest son WILLIE. About 1870 he married MARY W. ----, age 39 in this census. She has had 8 children, 6 still alive at this census. Willie 17, Herbert 15, Helen 12, Bessie 10, Karl 5, and Esther 1. Wife Mary was born in Ohio of German parents. Thomas owns his home, and is not naturalized. In his household lives his unmarried sister, SALLIE age 52, born England MAR 1848. Also in St Louis is his brother WILLIAM HEATH age 49, born Sept 1850. Married for 19 years to EMMA W. now age 43. Born 1857 Ohio of English parents. [Possibly not England --I wondered if Mary W. and Emma W. might be sisters ??] Emma and William had no children. William is a coal & ice dealer, and seems to live in a 'nice' district. Thomas is still alive in 1920 census age 68. Lives in Webster Grove, probably on Old Orchard near Catalpa, Swan and Willow. Now a VERY desirable neighborhood of beautiful Victorian houses and some lovely gardens. William is living in the same area in 1910 census. Eventually, death certificates will come on line which show parent's name [mother ?]. The 1890 census is a goldmine of info !! My good wishes to all. Kitty in St Louis, MO PS. Where are you located Chas. OLNEY ??
