-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dave and Maureen Sent: Monday, January 25, 2010 8:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [NYORLEAN] Brick walls I have been searching for marriage information for years on my Great Grandfather, Andrew Capwell (Capwill) and have had no luck. Andrew lived with his parents, James W. and Azubah Capwill in Kendall in 1880. His wife to be, Jennie Burnett, lived in Shelby with her mother and Stepfather Alzina and Orrin Canfield and family. I have checked with the Kendall Historian, Kendall Town Clerk, Carlton Historian, Carlton Town Clerk, Shelby Town Clerk , Albion, Albany Vital Records, Buffalo Library films, Rochester Library films, Niagara County Historian. There were no records of their marriage. (That is not at unusual.) Andrew's wife Jennie supposedly died in childbirth with twins in 1886, there is no death certificate to be found. Jennie already had my Grandfather in 1883. They lived in Waterport which is evidently part of Carlton. (Yes) One of the twins died in 1887. A wonderful, helpful person, Mary Stack, from the Orleans County Website found the death certificate information for me at the Rochester Library. H.B. Onderdonk evidently was the Undertaker (from Albion?) that handled the funeral of Jennie's daughter in 1887. She died Carleton. I have been trying to find out what mortuary handled her burial. According to her death certificate, she was buried in the Waterport Cemetery in Carleton. Because of a fire, they don't have any records for her burial and said that a lot of the old headstones were vandalized numerous times and are now rubble. The Carleton Town Clelrk told me that all the town records from 1885 to 1900 are missing. Does anyone know of H. B. Onderdonk or of a mortuary from that time period? If so, what would have happened to the mortuary records? Any suggestions as to where else I could search would be greatly appreciated.

I'm wondering if there might be Church records (marriage, births, baptism, death) in the area where you have already found information that you can pursue?   Also, check Library in the area to see if there might be a mortuary record book -- sometimes records are donated to a library if they go out of business etc.  I wish you luck..     -- On Thu, 6/3/10, Robert Hales <[email protected]> wrote: From: Robert Hales <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [NYORLEAN] Brick walls To: [email protected] Date: Thursday, June 3, 2010, 8:54 PM -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dave and Maureen Sent: Monday, January 25, 2010 8:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [NYORLEAN] Brick walls I have been searching for marriage information for years on my Great Grandfather, Andrew Capwell (Capwill) and have had no luck.  Andrew lived with his parents, James W. and Azubah Capwill in Kendall in 1880.  His wife to be, Jennie Burnett, lived in Shelby with her mother and Stepfather Alzina and Orrin Canfield and family.  I have checked with the Kendall Historian, Kendall Town Clerk,  Carlton Historian, Carlton Town Clerk, Shelby Town Clerk , Albion, Albany Vital Records, Buffalo Library films, Rochester Library films, Niagara County Historian.  There were no records of their marriage.
