Cullimore

Our Cullimore line stems from the Cullimores of Portsmouth/Portsea, Hampshire, England. The family tree starts with three brothers that came to America. It is believed that two traveled on the same ship and a younger brother came at a later date based on his marriage information in Portsea. I found a clue earlier today that may help me further research this limb of our tree in England. Not an easy task since Cullimore is as common as Smith is here in the United States, but not all that common in 1700s Portsea. I have found a George Cullimore, also working in the dockyards as my relative William and his brother John did. Can this be their father? To further investigate this I will need to pay for a researcher at the National Archives in Portsmouth. Keep your fingers crossed and say a few prayers!

 

With the help of his dad, Jacob, my grandfather built this house in Lincoln, Nebraska. The family lived in the basement while the upper half was being finished.

Elvira "Grace" Graham Roberts - Mother at 71?

It seems that a person, or several persons, have posted on various websites and Ancestry.com that Elvira and Felix had a daughter, Rosanne Roberts, born Sept 1934, died Sept 1934 and is buried in Ridge Mill, Custer, Oklahoma, Sept 1934. I find this hard to believe as that would put Felix at about 77 years of age and Elvira at about 71. She was 41 when she gave birth to Norva B. Roberts. He lived 1904-1958.
