*Archived* -William Henry Foley

[Silver surfer]

My mum's uncle William H Foley emigrated to Canada in 1916 to look for gold in the Yukon and finally settled in San Fransisco. He was born 1874 at Cradley Heath and married Clara Dimmock 12 Mar 1899 at St John's Dudley. They had 2 children as far as I know William Henry 1904 who came to England in the 1990's to renovate the Foley headstone at Blakedown Church and Florence 1900. She married John Coons.

Is it possible to find any info on them eg census after 1901 or details of emigration, marriage, death etc?

This is a good site for Passenger Lists and Emigration SS.

Hi SS these children William Henry and Florence do you have actual details on who they marry?
if so could you add them to connections?

On the 1911 census there is this info..but you would need to buy credits to be sure
but by putting in other members you get..

HOUSEHOLD FOLEY SEN WILLIAM HENRY M 1874 37 Stourbridge Worcestershire
HOUSEHOLD FOLEY CLARANN F 1876 35 Stourbridge Worcestershire
HOUSEHOLD FOLEY JUN WILLIAM HENRY M 1905 6 Stourbridge Worcestershire
HOUSEHOLD FOLEY CLARA FLORENCE F 1902 9 Stourbridge

Thanks folks. Just a minor correction but I think it was Wm. son of Wm. 1905 who came over in the 1990's to renovate the headstone.
All those William Henrys...4 generations.

Just looked at my FTM and I have William Henry 1904-1982 married to Juanitta Randall with children Wm Henry 1930, Jack (presumably John) and Rosemary. This William married Joan Beverley Everitt. The person who told me this info died in March aged 95 and had a wonderful memory, and I do have a photo of the "younger" Bill. I miss the old gent, and indeed he was one.

The only other is Wm's sister Florence 1900 who married John Coons. Thanks a lot. It's good to fill in the gaps.

Do you need any more on this SS

If you are ok now on this I will archive

Hi SS, William Foley and Clara are already on Connections. Best Wishes Linell.

Just wondered if there is any more census info for them in America, if anyone has access.

[linell]

There are some Rootsweb Lists that do American Look Ups.
