Do you have any idea when she married Frank McCloskey, or when she arrived in America? Have you found the family in the U.S. census? Cheers, Jeff Thomas Hi Jeff, Thanks for your response. I checked my records, and the siblings of Gwen were: Abram Richards Viola Richards Margaret Richards Alice Richards Evan Richards Mary Elizabeth Richards The only dates I have is for Gwen: Born March 9, 1883 in Wales Died 27 Feb. 1936 in Scranton, PA Her mother's name was Mary Evans. Just found that record. I can't begin to think of looking for a Mary Evans without a date or city! I don't have her father's first name. Ruth I don't know where Gwen fits in the age bracket of the other children, but I assume there would be a 10 yr. difference before or after. She married Frank McCloskey here in the U.S. but I don't have a marriage date either. All of her children ( I think ) were born in America, and the oldest one I have a year for is Earl McCloskey, December 9, 1903. He probably was not the oldest child, I don't think. I'm not at all sure that Breconshire is her true area. It was only one of a few born in 1883. Thanks
