close pictures and EC Bently
emanday, Thanks for the close pictures. They are truely depressing but make me thankful for my little house. We didn't have tenaments around Detroit because with so much land available people just moved out of the city. After WWII, acres and acres of small, identical houses were built surrounding th...

9 Brighton Place
Susan, What a coincidence this is! I figured that the house was probably long gone. My sister is sending me a couple of pictures of it which I'll post when I get them next week so you can see how it looked back then. 83 Willow St. We were talking about this tonight. I found a city directory for Prov...

Aberdeen housing 1850-1930 2?'s
To emanday: I tried your link, but only got the home page of the website and a message saying that I searched for close and there were no results. I have two cats. The calico has figured out that if she stands up and rattles the doorknob when she is ready to come in, her automatic door opener (me) w...

Aberdeen housing 1850-1930 2?'s
My Clerihew relatives lived at 51 Summer St. in Aberdeen from 1850 on and when I checked the census records to see who else lived on that street, I found five or six different families listed at the same address. Am I correct in thinking that they probably lived in an apartment house of some kind? A...

census giggles or just interesting entries
I came across a relative whose occupation was listed as Searches of Music. Two decades later, he was a Teacher of Music. This is interesting because I don't know a single member of my family who can even carry a tune in a bucket!

? about the size of graves in Nellfield
I found some pictures of Nellfield Cemetery on the web and the grave sites which are bound by stone curbs appear to be very small for number of people buried in them. Does this mean that the bodies were cremated? Or are the graves stacked? Or what?
Thanks,
Carol
Thanks,
Carol

Malcolm Munro, where are you buried?
Sarah, I don't have the picture at this moment. My sister does and she's 1057 miles away in upper Michigan. She also doesn't get along with computers so I'll have to wait for her to mail it to me. The church that my grandparents were married in was the Bonaccord United Free Church and I think that a...

Malcolm Munro, where are you buried?
When my sister was going through my parents papers last year, she found a picture of the gravesite where my great grandfather, great grandmother and two of their children are buried, but there was no identification as to the cemetary on the picture. It shows a large wall, posssilbly stone at the hea...

Malar/Milne name changes
Thanks Susan, I've been pronouncing Milne as Mil-knee! If the second syllable is silent, then I can easily see how a person working at a funeral home could have misunderstood my great uncle John when he was giving information for the funeral arrangements. I'm finding that I'm having trouble understa...
