I've found he & his wife quite easily on the censuses, & their children, but it's very difficult to follow the girls as presumably they married & I don't know how to find births & marriages as all I know of to use to search is Ancestry & Family Search. They had 3 more children after they arrived in the US, Sarah b 1873, Miriam b 1877 & John Summerfield b 1880. They had had 7 children & just these 4 were living. I found Wm living in a Methodist Episcopal Home for the Aged in 1910 & Eliz had died there in 1908 & Wm in 1914, & they were buried in Westminster cemetery, Belmont. I wondered if anyone could tell me if I can access on line the cemetery's MI's so I could perhaps see who else is buried with them. I found Thomas their 1st child on the censuses & he had married Harriett who? & when? & they had 3 children, Samuel b 1895, Mary b 1897 & Alice b 1909. Samuel married Helen who? & when? Mary married Edward Reber & they had a daughter Gladys b 1928 & I found this on the 1930 census as Thomas was widowed & living with them. Alice I think was a secretary & in lodgings. I also found John S married to Priscilla who? & when? They'd had 3 children but just one named Elizabeth was alive. John S for Summerfield was bap in Oct 1880 at Summerfield United Methodist Church. Could someone please help me to fill in the blanks with this family & maybe do look ups for me or advise me where else to look for info on them myself?? Thank you very much to anyone who is kind enough to help me with any of this. Roz. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
