Surnames: WINNERS WINNES Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/zQB.2ACE/1839 Message Board Post: Hello, Emma WINNERS was baptized 24 May 1874 at St. Mary's Cath. Church in Newark NJ. The birth date shown in the parish baptismal register is 9 Apr 1874. The parents are William WINNERS and Sarah SIGFRIED, whose residence was Perth Amboy. An elder sister Theresia was born in Newark and baptized at St. Mary's, both on 29 Apr 1870. The father is very likely identical with John William WINNES [no R] born 14 Oct 1845 in Newark. The mother is supposed to be from Easton PA. Can anyone help with this WINNERS or WINNES family in Perth Amboy ca. 1870-80? A search of the on-line 1880 census was negative. Thanks very much.
