Further to my note below, I have learned there is a Lestershire in Broome County, NY http://meltingpot.fortunecity.com/ormonde/117/covers15j.html So, since Russel Lurcock seems to have died there rather than Leicestershire England, can anyone help with tracing where he is buried or how I might locate his death certificate? He died on 6th Feb 1912 according to this and would have been about 33. Was there any train accidents then? >-----Original Message----- >From: Craig Cockburn [mailto:craig@SiliconGlen.com] >Sent: Tuesday, June 22, 2004 6:25 PM >To: PABRADFO-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: [Tri-Counties] Trying to trace LURCOCK mothers maiden surname >McGowan > > >Hi > >I am trying to trace birth records for the following, ages are those >given in the 1910 census: >Harriet Lurcock (8 months) >Beatrice Lurcock (2 years) > >They were part of a household comprising: >Russel Lurcock (32) >Elizabeth Lurcock (22) > >For info, I have the following records: > >1910 census record: >http://www.siliconglen.com/genealogy/el-1910census.tif > >Mention of Russel Lurcock >http://www.siliconglen.com/genealogy/jc-birth.jpg >This establishes the US-Scotland link > >Likely 1880 census record for Russel Lurcock (age 1) >http://www.rootsweb.com/~pabradfo/census/1880lit1.htm >another extract details this very similar but slightly different info: > >Litchfield, Bradford, Pennsylvania 1880 > >Edw.
