Research Notes

Email From A cousin: I am working on a Samuel Reid (abt.1818-) and Eliza(Armstrong) Ramsbottom (abt.1820-abt.1889) with 3 daughters, Anne born 1830 in Ireland, Eliza (possibly Eliza (Reid) Daniels (1833-1921)) born in 1832 in Canada and Deborah born in 1834 in Canada. Samuel has died before 1840 and Eliza(Armstrong) Reid (abt.1820-abt.1889) has married James Ramsbottom (1821-) or Ramesbottom. If her age at death is correct in this death record from 1899, then she was born about January 1809 in Ireland. I've found her daughter Mary Ramsbottom (1842-1909) born 1842 and Harriet born 1848. It's Mary's daughter, Hattie Vanatta who in a 1918 Canada-US border crossing mentions an Aunt Eliza Daniels in London, Ontario. This is why I think it's Mary Armstrong (abt.1820-abt.1889) who married our Samuel Reid (abt.1818-). <snip> I am working on Mary's Ramsbottom sons to see if I can find any further connections. But I think Samuel and Mary (or Eliza if she goes by that too, but I haven't found that anywhere as yet) should be born about 1809/1810. As soon as I can confirm her sons and their spouses and see if there is any mention of aunts and uncles that could give us more clues, I will share with the list. Otherwise, check out my Ancestry tree and see what you think. I've put the daughter Eliza in as a POSSIBLE for the time being but I think she is going to fit in there nicely. I think that it's possible that whoever informed on her death record listing her mother's name as Eliza was incorrect or as I've suggested she went by Mary Eliza Armstrong or Eliza Mary Armstrong. I'm convinced, especially with the DNA connections that we're on the right track, but would like to hear from the rest of you as to what you think when you look at all of this. Tammy
