In 2 instances, I've found a woman named Margaret was also known as Phoebe. However, I've never found 'Phoebe' in nickname or alternate names lists, to go with Margaret. Anyone have ideas on the name Phoebe? <<Some nicknames for Margaret are: Daisy, Greta, Madge, Maggie, Maisie, Marge, Margo, Meg, Megan, Metta, Midge, Peggy>>

Dear Marion: In the books you have...could you check to see if there is a marriage between Peter Costello and Annie (possibly Burke) around 1876? He lived in the Berkeley/ Ahston area in Cumberland. Thank you in advance. denise

Marion; Yes, these are my ggrandparents and the brother of my grandfather. I had these already but; it is always nice to find them confirmed elsewhere. Can't figure out why I can't find the birth of my grandfather or his other siblings! Thanks so much, Sam -----Original Message----- From: Marion A.

Is it possible for someone to check their records for children of William Glendinning and Mary Ellen Glendinning ( sometimes spelt Clendinnen or Glendenning ) I know that they lived at 3 West ST. Plymouth County, MA in 1900. In 1918 Mary Ellen died while living at 202 Whittier Avenue, Prov. She was buried at Pocasset Cemetary. In 1920 William lived at 116 Oak St. Prov. with children Louise 18, William 16, John 13, Madeline 13, Clinton 10, and james 6. I have been told that William and Mary had 13 children altogether ( including 4 sets of twins) some of who died young but I cant find the rest of them . Williams parents were Wm H Glendinning and Rachel McCord. Mary Ellens parents were John Norris and Margaret Mullins. I think his son William married a woman called Regina ........ . Can anyone help me ? William Glendinning

William, Whittier Ave is off Plainfield St in the Onleyville section of Providence. Oak St runs from Huntington Ave to Dexter ST as does Chapin Ave. They are in what is now known as West Broadway, when I lived on both streets, they were considered part of Onleyville. I believe Curtis St is near Whittier Ave. Mashassuck Cemetery is in Central Falls, RI and my mother tells me Pocasset Cemetery is on Pocasset Ave, also in the Onleyville area. Charlotte

Oak and Chapin are near one another, near Cranston. Whittier is a bit further, but nearby, and Curtis would be more north in the City of Providence. Do not know where the cemeteries are located, but in RI nothing is far! 40 miles wide by 60 miles I think. HTH, Ann

Does anyone have a record of Harriet( Boyd) Glendinning ( Clendinnen, Glendenning etc) who was born1871 daughter of John and Annie Boyd. She lived in the Cumberland area. Her husband was William Glendinning. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, William Glendinning

I am new to the above lists (except the FULLER) and would like to post what I have so far, which isn't much, but it is a bit long which I apologize for. I have been researching my FULLER line and what I have is follows: Minerva J(ane?) FULLER b.1825 in RI married Geo. Henry FRY in Wisconsin in 1847. Her parents were ? FULLER b.? in MA and Cinderella INMAN b.? in RI Cinderella's parents were Rebues INMAN b.? and Polly ( Mary/Pauline?) nee ? b. ? I have found only one Rebeus INMAN in RI and that was in Providence Co., Smithfield in the 1810,20,40 censuses. He appears to have moved to Burrville twp. in 1830 as this name appears there and disappears in Smithfield to reappear in 1840. THEN hoping this ties the families together more: In 1850 WI I found, Zachary R. FULLER b.1808 (dates according to census), Betsy Perry FULLER b. 1817, Amos A. FULLER b.1830, Lorenzo D. FULLER b.1818, Martha A. (wife of Lorenzo?) b.1819, Charles E. FULLER b. 1840, Catharine F. FULLER b.1842, Zachary FULLER b. 1844, Betsey FULLER b.1847. (places of birth are RI and MA and they are practically next door to Minerva FULLER.) My main reason to believe this is the right FULLER/INMAN combination in WI is that Minerva named her children Lewis Lorenzo, Alonzo Zachary, Amos Andrew, Cinderella, Perry Reed. But I am not sure if I traced them back to Smithfield twp, Providence Co. RI correctly. I have found a Zacharia FULLER ( actually 2 of them in same twp. but several pages apart), Caleb FULLER and Lorenzo FULLER in Smithfield 1830/40, who then appear to be the ones to move to WI, Washington Co., Richfield twp. in 1850 but I can't seem to find any census records of Minerva (as a female in the appropriate age bracket) for 1830/40 with these FULLERs. ( Still working on this census information.) I am hoping this will tie in with someone on the lists above. And if anyone on the list has resources that would help me further my search I would appreciate it. I am especially hoping someone has a history book of Smithfield township in the early 1800's. Lottie I also want to apologize in advance for any doubles you may receive of this posting as I didn't want to miss a list, but there are several for RI. I am also going to post this to the message boards and it may be gatewayed.
