I am looking for a marriage of a lady that came from England first to Toronto, Ontario in 1882, and then to Buffalo by the 1900 census. By 1910 she seems to be married. Is it possible to find her marriage using the NY state indexes? Her name is SOPHIA FELDWICK (b 1864, England). Any help most sincerely appreciated. GAIL in Ontario.

Thank you so much for replying. I don't believe , though, that they would have been related since their sons went with them to Michigan in the mid 1850's where they all died in Lapeer or Eaton County, MI. It's reassuring to know that there are others reading the messages for this state. If there is anyone who lives in the Lockport area and, also, needs research done in Michigan and would like to exchange research, I do have access to records in Mason, Lapeer, and Saginaw Counties of Michigan. Currently, I am doing this with someone in CT and have sent her a very large amount of information on her Lapeer Co. family surname. Thanks again....

I am referring to Mary Weir Diver Devine, who was married to Charles Devine and is my great great grandmother (at least my grandfather, her grandson, says so :) ). I look forward to seeing what you are able to discover about both of their families - I'd thought I hit a wall until I found your post. I believe that Mary Devine and the Edward Diver were half-siblings, with the same mother. So if you have information on Edward's mother that would be very helpful. I did have some information on Mary's siblings - I have Edward, William, Samuel, Hugh, and possibly two John's (my grandfather thinks he remembers that Mary had a brother John, and when her mother remarried a Diver that he also wanted a son named John). I had never followed up on them because my great aunt just named them with no specifics. I searched for Edward today and did find the following death notice for William Diver in the Fulton Patriot (New York state) on 13 Jan 1944: Diver - Died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Lester Day, 418 Cayuga street, Jan. 11, William Diver, aged 64 years. Surviving are his daughter, Mrs. Day; a son, Warrant Officer, Junior Grade, William L. Diver of the Signal Corps Training Center, army air base, New Orleans, La,; a sister, Mrs. Mary Devine of Lockport, and three brothers, Edward Diver of Buffalo and Samuel and Hugh Diver of Strabane, Ireland. Mr. Diver was a native of Strabane, County Tyrone, Ireland. He came to this country 41 years ago. For the past 22 years he had resided in Fulton and for the last 14 years he held the situation of stationary engineer and fireman at the McHenry Millhouse(?) plant. Death came as the result of an illness of several months. I found it at fultonhistory.com, by typing in Edward Diver and making it search for the exact phrase. The direct link is http://www.fultonhistory.com/Fulton Historical Photos/Newspapers/The Fulton patriot/Newspaper (Fulton Patriot 1944) pdf/Newspaper (Fulton Patriot 1944) - 0012.pdf#xml=http://www.fultonhistory.com/dtSearch/dtisapi6.dll?cmd=getpdfhits&u=ffffffffb5171b98&DocId=911527&Index=I:/Fulton Historical&HitCount=2&hits=183 184 &SearchForm=c:\inetpub\wwwroot\Fulton_New_form.html&.pdf I'll keep looking - I hope to hear from you soon!

I assume that the Mary you refer to as your possible great great grandmother is Charles Wife and not the Mary that accompanied Edward from Londonderry to Newport? I am thinking, correct me if I am wrong that Mary nee Weir or Diver was a step sister to Edward. Al I am pleased with the input that you will give Tressa maybe it will benefit me.

I don't know how much this will help, but recently when I was in the Glenwood Cemetery looking for relatives, I came across a few gravestones with the names of Orcutt on them.? I don't remember the other names, but for some reason the Orcutt stands out in my mind.? I believe they were in the very back of the cemetery on the left side and again I think one was a minister of some sort.? There were? a few stones together there and I think there were more throughout the cemetery.? Might want to check with someone who is more familiar with the cemetery than I am.??
