Hi Listers I am researching on behalf of my wife. She had two uncles who emigrated to the USA early in the 20th century. I have found one on the Ellis Island site. I also found this one and the other brother on the SSDI. Both of these Uncles were married twice. In both instances their first wives were from England. This is the one relevant to Henderson North Carolina Arthur BRAZIER ( Social Security No 061-07-6187) born 27 May 1891 married Anna SILKAKTIN b 24 September 1895 (although from England she was believed to be born in Russia) They settled in North Carolina after a spell in Long Island New York. When his wife Anna Brazier ( Social Security No 241-06-2958) died in NC at the Marg.R. Hospital 17 September 1973 he then married a Mattie (maiden name not known) and Mattie was believed to have come from Florida. Arthur address in 1973 was 700 Sylvan Boulevard Hendersonville Are there records available to search for the second married after 1973? I really need an American friend at this moment to guide me through whatever I need to do to find out if these records are available for public viewing in NC. Are their researchers or volunteers who would look the marriage up for me Any help would be a liferaft to cling to Thanks for your time in reading this call for help Alan in New Zealand
