I moved to Acorn Street in January 1951. Acorn was in Muskegon, but when you crossed into Muskegon Heights the name changed to Hoyt St. John Street was a block west of Acorn, and it changed to Leahy when you crossed into the Heights. I believe it was just a short time later that the streets became Hoyt and Leahy for their whole length, to lessen the confusion of changing names. I also believe that two other streets changed to the Muskegon name for their whole length, but I don't remember the names. I hope this clears up at least some of the confusion. Ann Mitchell West Bend, Wisconsin > Does anyone know about a John St changing to Leahy St. in Muskegon and Muskegon Hts.? Also, was Holt St changed to Acorn St, or the other way around? It seems that these changes occurred in the 20's and/or 40's.

Go to the following web site to find the counties where people with a certain surname resided, and you can add a second surname also. However, I was not able to find LOVERIDGE there at all and don't know any spelling variation except LOVERAGE, which came back with nothing also. Good luck to you. http://scripts.ireland.com/ancestor/surname/index.cfm The most CUNNINGHAMs were from County Down, which I think is the county where my JACKSONs came from and ended up in Muskegon also.

Hello, I'm trying to find info on Maggie (Margarita) Cunningham, who immigrated to America in 1865 from Ireland. She married Henry Loveridge of Muskegon, Michigan. Witnesses at her wedding were her sister Catherine (Cunningham) Hughes and Catherine's husband, John Hughes. Any info will be greatly appreciated! I'm trying to find out what part of Ireland she immigrated here from. Does anyone have a subscription to ancestry.com who could look it up for me in the immigration feature? Thanks in advance, Simone Smith [email protected] Simone Smith <[email protected]> wrote: Charlotte, Thank you very much for the good info! My Henry is the older one, the sawyer.

She was a boarder and was a bookkeeper in the logging industry. She herself was born in Missouri around 1885 according to the Census; her dad was born in Michigan; and her mother, in Ireland. I was intrigued by your posting because my great-great-grandmother lived in Muskegon in 1870, having moved there from Chicago. She was born in Ireland and came to the United States around 1847 during the potato famine. In1860 in Chicago she had a Minnie living with her, but I can't find Minnie after that. On one Census, there was a Kate with her also, and then I couldn't find her anymore. There was also a John in her household when she first arrived in New York. There is probably not a close connection since I have not run across any LOVERIDGEs in my family of JACKSONs. Those are probably just popular first names for the Irish. Perhaps you already knew everything I have listed above, but I'm hoping something will help. ==== MIMUSKEG Mailing List ==== Queries, queries, queries!

Very interesting! Strange that the obituary I found lists George, Joseph, Elizabeth, Nellie, and John as all being brothers and sisters, but this information shows Joseph as a son of John and Sarah, unlike the others who are listed as children of Henry and Margaret? As best I can determine, the Joseph Loveridge I am researching died at age 35 in 1913, which would have made him 5 in 1883, so maybe the Joseph listed in these library records is from another family, and my Joseph isn't listed?

Hello, Does anyone have any information on the Henry and Margaret Loveridge clan of Muskegon, Michigan? Henry was born in Michigan about 1846 and was a sawyer in a sawmill. His wife, Margaret, was born in 1847 in Ireland, and they raised a family in Muskegon, Michigan. According to the 1880 census, they had 5 children: Kate, John, Minnie, Joseph, and George. I'm trying to find any available information on two of these Loveridge daughters, who later married and moved to the Kansas City area, where they resided in 1946, according to an obituary. Their names were Mrs. A. L. Thomas and Mrs. D. C. Gallahan. Their first names may have been Kate and Minnie, but I'm not sure. They also had a sister in Tacoma, Washington, named Nell M. (Loveridge) Brock, who probably died in 1954. She may have been "Minnie," since her middle initial was "M," and she was probably born in 1885. Therefore, a third daughter must have been born to Henry & Margaret after the 1880 census, and I do not know her name. If anyone has access to old Kansas City phone books from the 1946 era, or other information, I would appreciate all help you might be able to provide, such as street addresses, first names of the husbands, etc. Also, are there any Gallahans or Thomases listed in the current Muskegon County phone directories? I don't know whether the two Loveridge sisters met their husbands in Michigan or in Missouri. If anyone has come across Loveridge graves in Muskegon County, I'd very much appreciate learning of their location.
