Hello MIWayne Listers My name is John Bell and I live in Ireland. I'm researching a relative, Margaret Bell who left home in Kenmare, Co. Kerry, Ireland, in 1911 and landed in NY. The Italian Marriage index states that she married a John H Williams in Feb 1926. I have traced her death on the SS index which gives her residence as Wayne, Detroit, MI. in Sept 1977. I cannot find anything on John H Williams. As MAGGIE'S date of birth was 20 December 1891, an entry in the 1930 Census for Alabama, naming a John H and Margaret Williams, with a Daughter Mary aged 10 years. I cannot prove that this is my Margaret, and the Mary would have been born out of wedlock, in 1920, possible of course!!!! What I am hoping for is that someone might be able to establish the SS death record of John H. Also it may be possible that he had an Army record for WW11. Maybe he died in the war! Also, if it could be established that the MARGARET in the 1930 census for Alabama, was born in Ireland. This might link my Margaret to this family. Any other ideas would be welcomed, like local obituaries etc. I will look forward to a reply, Thank you, John. Maggie WILLIAMS SS Record. Birth Date: 20 Dec 1891. Death Date: Sep 1977. Social Security Number: 437-01-8300. State or Territory Where Number Was Issued: Louisiana Death Residence Localities ZIP Code: 48213 Localities: Detroit, Wayne, Michigan

The 1930 census record in Biringham, Alabama is not what you are looking for. John, Maggie and Mary were all born in Alabama. She was married at the age of 20. I did not find anything for a John H. Williams, he would have been too old for WW11, no record for WW1. The WW11 records are not complete, at this time. (Ancestry.com) But, I did find this: 1920 U.S. Census - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Margaret Bell born in Ireland. Age 28, date of immigration, 1912. She was working as a attendent at the Pennsylvania Hospital for Mental and ? Deseases. I did not find a 1930 census record for Margaret Bell, she must have married before that time. I will let you know if I find anything else, but not tonight.
