Can anybody help me trace Margaret HODGES last heard of living in Everett, WA in about 1958. She was / is my grandfather's niece. She was born in 1912 and emigrated from London, UK with her mother Ada Catherine GANDON nee CROUCH arriving in New York in December 1914. They then travelled to Seattle, WA to join a cousin of Ada's, Maude RAMEY nee MATHEWS. Maude's father (Ada's uncle) was Francis MATHEWS who emigrated from London, UK to WA in the 1860s and was apparently was the first mayor of Snohomish County. He was born Francis WOOLWAY, but was adopted by his uncle John MATHEWS with whom he emigrated to WA. He died at the Old Soldiers Home in Orting, WA in 1925. Ada GANDON apparently re-married and was never heard of again (possibly moved to San Diego). Margaret moved to the Los Angeles, CA, area when she was a girl and was then next heard of living in Everett, WA under the name HODGES in about 1958. Shortly afterwards she reportedly married the President of a Seattle TV Station (which TV Station is unknown) and went to live in Seattle. The President's name is unknown. I would be grateful for the following help to assist me to find Margaret: a) a check on the Everett Street / Telephone Directories for the period 1955 - 1965 to see if there are any entries for her b) the names of the Presidents and Vice-Presidents of the various Seattle TV Stations in the period 1955 - 1965 c) in which city would Margaret be more likely to have married, Everett or Seattle - were there any general rules in this regard, e.g. women married in the town where they lived and not where their husbands lived. d) any other tips on how to find her - she may even still be alive today. I thus hope to narrow down the possibilities and then search for Margaret's marriage in either Snohomish or King Counties. I can possibly offer assistance on German or British family history in return. Many thanks for any forthcoming assistance Robin Crouch Essen Germany
