Hi Everyone. I was hoping someone might be able to do a look up for me? I am stll looking for John Benjamin Dewar. I have him in the 1900-1930 census. I also have his marriage certificate and death certificate. The problem is that the info on the marriage certificate and the info on the death certificate for his parents and place of birth are different. On his marriage certificate he is listed as having been born in Vermont and his parents are listed as Constantin Dewar and Margret Bird. On his death certificate he is listed as being born in California on March 15, 1868 and his parents are listed as Edwin Dewar and Margret Hendrickson (both born in the US). All of the census records (1900-1930) where I have found him, indicate he was born in CA. On one of the census, he is listed as Benjamin Dewar. I know that the marriage certificate and death certificate are my John Benjamin Dewar because his wife's info (Ann Eliza Dayton) is consistent. Since Ann and John benjamin had a son, John E. Dewar, I am assuming that John Benjamin's father was probably Edwin. My problem is that I have not been able to find John Benjamin prior to his marriage to Ann Eliza Dayton. Would sks look up John Benjamin Dewar born March 15, 1868 (that's the date on his death certificate and the only date I have at this point)? I was hoping to find him in 1870 and/or 1880 census. I don't know when he came to NY, but I know he was there by 1892 when he married Ann Eliza; and I know he died in Glen Cove in 1933. All of their children were born in NY. They did move around between NYC, the Bronx, Queens and Long Island (possibly Brooklyn) I am trying to go back to find out who his parents were and where he was born. siblings, etc. I have been hitting a brick wall with this family. I appreciate any help on this one. Thanks, Liz _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail has tools for the New Busy.
