I have a family member called William John Burk . We know from his marriage certificate that he was born in Bostom USA and that his fathers name was John Charles. Do you have anyone in your family tree by those names?

Thankyou

Chrissie

Hi Sally

I've sent you what looks to be a second marriage for Michael' first wife. There is a second child for her, sent the details by PM

Her second husband appears on Whitepages, sent you the link too

Hi JC,

You are correct :-D - you know what it's like when you are trying to find things !!!!!!!

I was also trying to find a death entry in the newspaper for the two people already listed, but as it is a while ago for both it may not be possible at the moment.

I am good at looking, even if it takes a while, but maybe I need to take a chill pill on this one :-D :-D

Regards
Sally

yes Sally, but not likely that someone will happen along at the very moment you nudge the thread and go oh yes, I know that person!!! people who read this board regularly have seen it by now ...

your message here can be found by internet search engines so if someone searches the names in future they will find it here even if it is on page 392 of the forum :-)

Hello JC,

Many thanks for your message.

I feel there maybe a death write up, maybe small, for Michael G Burk death 2005 and Rosemary P Burk death 2008.

I am looking into message from Gins.

Regards
Sally

ps
You never know someone may know the names I have posted. !!!!!

nudge what, Sally? is there something else someone might find now?

btw whitepages is really just the telephone book, hence its name ... it does contain other info now in the USA (but not in Australia e.g.) such as household composition

all you needed to do there was look for the given name of the spouse as I suggested, no guarantee the result is the same person but from info at familysearch.org (again just search for the given name of the spouse) it seems it is

hopefully you can find a listing for the person Gins sent you

Hello Gins,

No I don't have any info regarding the birth of Michael's child.
I do some on Ancestry, but I am just starting looking at the American side. !!!!

Do you know about these Whitepages????? :-S

Regards

Sally :-)

Gee Report 28 Apr 2014 15:34

Do you have the birth of Michael' child?

If not, I can PM it to you

Edit: He did marry in 1977 to the person you thought. The child is born a year after that marriage and mothers maiden matches your thoughts

Hi JC,

I have never heard of Whitepages !!!!!
I have had a quick look, starting with Michael G BURK, I can't get into his info, but think there may be something of interest there, any ideas????

I will try again.

Regards
Sally

Hello JC,

Many thanks for your reply, I have taken off the two names so not to do the wrong thing.!!!!
I try to put as much info as I can, so that people can see what I have found, but maybe a bit too much this time !!!!!!

I am NOT looking for the INGRAM family in England, I have most of what I need there, I AM looking to see what was said about Rosemary and Michael after they died, either write up in paper or Memorial, if one ?????
What did Michael do as a job, etc, anything to do with their lives really.

Regards
Sally :-)

JoonieCloonie Report 28 Apr 2014 14:44

this is rather sensitive since it is about living people

but have you searched at both
familiysearch.org
and
whitepages.com

just for the given name of the person you think might have married Michael ?

there is info there that you might be able to use to contact her

JoonieCloonie

JoonieCloonie Report 28 Apr 2014 14:35

Sally what is the info you are looking for from memorials?

for instance if it is about the family of Rosemary there might be other ways of finding it

Sally

Sally Report 28 Apr 2014 12:02

Many thanks for looking Gins, that was the one I had, I have now put in capital letters.
