Would anyone know how I can check on where these addresses were located in Newark in 1896 and what they are named and numbered now? 9 Wood St. -- Midwife's or medical attendant's address 13 Grand St. -- Place of birth and 120 Clifton Av -- Home address Jerry Tobin

Hello Jerry, here is one approach that I have utilized with success. First, use Mapquest (Yahoo) and plug in each of those addresses and draw up maps. (if the Street numbers do not exist then just draw maps for the Street in question. Once you have identified if the Street exists and the City approximate placement point,then armed with that information next go to this 1895 Newark map at this URL. http://lcweb2.loc.gov/cgi-bin/map_item.pl?data=/home/www/data/gmd/gmd381/g38 14/g3814n/pm005220.sid&style=citymap&itemLink=D?gmd:2:./temp/~ammem_LDfR::&t itle=Newark,%20N.J.,%20Harrison-Kearney%201895.%20By%20T.%20J.%20S.%20Landis . You can merrily zoom in and around and find streets and also see what type of building(s) existed there in 1895. It can be little bit tedious in hunting and searching, but can be very rewarding!

The patent leather industry in Newark was a huge industry. I have several of the old subscription Newark Industrial books which came out about once a decade or so - Shaw's History of Essex County - 1882 (a thinly veiled subscription book); Newark NJ Illustrated - 1893; and Newark City of Industry - 1912 all showing patent leather and other leather industries too innumerable to mention by name. You might consult any of those books for photos of what a typical patent leather factory looked like and an overview of the industry. They can be tough to find, however, by chance, a copy of the 1912 book (which probably has the best description) is for sale on e-bay right now (no I am not the seller or connected in anyway.)

My grandfather worked for Pratt and Standard Oil in Brooklyn, NY in the 1880's as a box maker. He was in Newark in 1896 and was a box maker in 1898 when he lived in Queens. Does anyone know of Standard Oil in Newark in 1896?

Hi Jerry, one means of finding some bits of data which might be useful to you, is through a Google search--try inserting such as "Standard Oil New Jersey history"...Bayonne, Newark, Elizabeth, Linden, (closely adjacents) were prominent pieces of S.O. history ... I am sure some other Listers will be coming up with some good reference suggestions too!

Hi Lister, I also had an ancestor uncle who was in patent leather in Newark in the early mid 1800s, and I suspect the patent leather industry was somewhat popular...one thought for researching more info on it, is through items found via Google search.

As per his obit, my ancestor, Henry Speyer, "was born near Saxony, Weimer, Germany, and came with his parents to America when about twelve years old, settling at Newark, N. J. Henry worked in a patent leather factory until about twenty years of age." Since Henry (a/k/a Herz) Speyer was born October 26, 1832, he would have come to Newark about 1844 and lived there until about 1852 when he married Margaret Pickens of Ireland in Williamsburg, Kings Co., NY. They later moved to Cincinnati, OH, then Lexington , KY and finally settled in Marshall Co., IN after the Civil War. Does anyone know about the patent leather industry in Newark or where I might find out about it? I have been unable to find Henry Speyer, sometimes misspelled Speier, Spier, Speir, Spyer, Speyar, Spyar, Speyerer, Spyerer, etc., in the 1850 census for Essex county. Any suggestions on how I might go about finding Henry Speyer in 1850 would be greatly appreciated! I have found his stepmother Henrietta "Yetta" Speyer (misspelled Spier) along with his half-sister Fanny, half-brother Simon, unknown Caroline Speyer and two unknown gentlemen as follows: Year: 1850 State: New Jersey County: Essex Roll: M432_447 Township: S.

Hi I'm new to the list and I'm trying to find information on Newark for 1896. My Uncle was baptized at St. Michael's church that year. I never knew that the family lived outside of Brooklyn and then Queens New York. Does anyone know of what resources are available to find information about where they were in Newark. They lived in Queens in 1891 and were back there in 1898. Jerry Tobin

Not sure if this went through the first time. Hi List, This is a little off topic but also on topic. I have a genealogy website I own for my family genealogy, it is a place for me to share information with other people in my family, but also a place for people to go to so they can possibly make connections to their family. I have plans to turn it into a place where other people can post their genealogy for there family to see. The problem currently is I need a place that will host it either free or very very cheap. I do not have much money to tie up in a project like this and am getting no financial support from family. I need only about 50-100 Megs of disk space to start and 10 pop email addresses, I am also looking for a hosting company that will allow me to host a chat room and forums. I can spend around $25.00-$40.00 a year if I have to but would prefer a free service, I also need to be able to use my own domain as I own www.ourfamilygenealogy.org.. If anybody has any suggestions or knows of any sites I would appreciate the feedback. Thank You Kevin King

Another question as I search for more info about my g-grandfather. His death certificate states that he died at "Newark Convalescent Hospital", the cemetery card says the funeral was from "City Hospital", and family oral history says he was in the almshouse in Ivy Hill. Can anyone shed some light for me on the difference between the Convalescent Hospital and the City Hospital?? Were these two different places? He died in July 1929. Thanks in advance, Dru Beesley Palm Bay, FL

I'm wondering if there are any records available for the Newark City Almshouse. Does anyone know? I'm looking for records from the 1920s. Dru Beesley Palm Bay, FL

Does any one have any information about the Ivy Hills Alms House in Irvington? Are there any surviving records? Dru Beesley Palm Bay, FL

Hello all! I've just found out that my g-grandfather, John Richard Cousins, was blind in one eye and had an artificial leg, due to an accident that occurred while working on the railroad. I know this occurred in 1902, because I have the cemetery records from the "limb burial". Does anyone know anything about a railroad accident or any way I can find records (such as employment records) for the railroad. I'm assuming he worked for the Penn RR, since his two brothers in law did, but I don't know for sure. This would have been in Newark. Any help would be appreciated. Dru Beesley Palm Bay, FL

If you are talking about Newark - there is still an Oliver St. It looks like 114 Oliver would be somewhere between McCarter Highway and Pacific St. I don't have any idea what the street looks like now or what the neighborhood is like. You might take a look at Mapquest.com and see where they put the location. Regards Joan Joan M.

Do you know which town/city 114 Oliver Street may have been in? What date is this address associated with?

I have found the place of origin for ancestors in the records of St. Casimirs Church. However, it is important to note that you need to write to the specific church to obtain records, rather than the diocese. I found this information on the diocese website, including a form to complete to request the information from the church.
