Surnames: Platt, Newbanks Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/WMB.2ACE/4794 Message Board Post: Looking for information on William Platt who was born in Quincy, Illinois in 1875 and moved to St. Louis about 1904 with his wife, nee Annie Newbanks. They had the following children: Willie, Carl, Joe, Anne, Pearl, Julie, Martin, Robert and Daisy and later stepson Kenneth with second wife Tillie. According to the 1920 and 1930 census William was a chief engineer at the St. Louis Car Company. He was the brother of my husband's grandfather Louis Platt, who I am researching. Thanks for any information, Jonee Platt
