Hello. I need some help with my 4th or 5th great-grandfather - John "Jack" North, born in England, between 1830 and 1900, and lived in Baltimore City, Maryland and/or surrounding communities... I found some of the links to Florence's parents and grandparents. My great-grandmother - Florence Virginia (Fury) Linder believed that she was John "Jack" North's great niece. So this means that John "Jack" North would have been her grandfather's brother or is it her great-grandfather's brother. Now, since my great-grandparent's birth years are in and around 1870-1878 and my grandparent's birth years are in and around 1878-1898... I am guessing that John "Jack" North was born in England somewhere between 1870 and 1898... depending on the generation. Virginia said at the time, in the 1930's that she knew someone (elderly) who also knew John "Jack" North as well... so that gives you a time frames that he was alive and living in Baltimore City or surrounding area. But, if this old man was in his 90's in 1930, then John "Jack" North could have also been born anytime after 1830 and had died before 1930. So, let's look between 1830 and 1900 in the Maryland Census Records, starting in Baltimore City and surrounding communities.. Family stories state that my maternal great-grandmother - Florence Virginia (Fury) Linder believed that she was John "Jack" North's great niece. Now my great-grandmother was Florence Virginia Fury (B: 03/12/1874 - D: 12/26/1945) who married George William Linder (B: 01/29/1873 - D: 09/27/1946). The 1900 Census said that they lived at W. Franklin St, Ward 21, Baltimore, MD. Florence Virginia (Fury)'s parents were William H. Fury (B: VA, 1834 - 1896) and Clarissa (G. or Olivia which was listed on her Confirmation Record) (Brooks) Fury (B: MD, 1841 - 1911). Now, since we do not have the North surname today. We must be related to the North family through a marriage of a female descendent or that they did not have children. However, the family believes that they did. This part of the family at the time of Virginia' death were living in Baltimore City and in the surrounding communities. William H. Fury (B: VA, 1834 - 1896) Florence Virginia Fury (B: 03/12/1874 - D: 12/26/1945) Clarissa Olivia (Brooks) Fury (B: MD, 1841 - 1911) George William Linder (B: 01/29/1873 - D: 09/27/1946) I would be willing to exchange family information as it becomes available. Thank you in advance for any help given. God bless. Peace and blessings. Dolores Cobb Phifer John "Jack" North, B: 1830 and 1900, England, living in Baltimore City and surrounding communities
