Trying to locate Fred and Gwendolyn Coad. She was the former Gwendolyn Jones from Troy, Madison County, Illinois. They were probably married in the early 1920's in Madison County. Do not know if there were any children. Does anyone have a connection?
Thank you, Martha

Re: Fred & Gwendolyn Coad
Martha,
I found your Fred COAD family in the 1900 U.S. Census for Jasper County, ILL. Crooked Creek Township. Fred had a twin brother, George.
COAD, Fred Head b. Nov 1862 ILL. age 37 married 12 yrs Occ: Farmer Owned Laura wife b. Jul 1868 ILL. age 31 born 5 children 3 alive George, son b. Jun 1893 ILL. age 6 Fred, son b. Jun 1893 ILL. age 6 Edna, dau b. Oct 1895 ILL. age 4
Found the boys on SSDI:
FRED COAD Born 7 Jun 1893 Died Dec 1965 GEORGE COAD Born 7 Jun 1893 Died Nov 1971
I didn't find your Gwendolyn Jones of Madison County, ILL. You could write to Social Security for her SS-5 (copy of her original application for SS Care) and it will have her father and mothers name on it form.
Hope this helps,
Ed Coad Casselberry, FL

Re: Fred & Gwendolyn Coad
This is not the Fred Coad that married a Gwendolyn Jones. Fred Coad b. 1893 was my mother's uncle, brother to my grandfather Don Herbert Coad. This Fred Coad married Fern Spaugh on 18 nov 1921 in Rosehill, Jasper Co., IL. After Edna, Fred and Laura Lee Coad also had: Edith b.3 apr 1901 Don Herbert b. 2 sep 1904 Pauline b. 28 jun 1908 The two children that died were named Alma b.1889 (lived 4 mos.) and Audria, died age 5, b. 1890
Fred b. 1862 did have 2 brothers that I know very little about other than their names -James and George (there were 12 siblings - two died in infancy) If you are interested in this line I also have Fred's parents,grandparents,his siblings,and a few of his siblings' spouses. Your Fred could be related to this family, Fred is a common name in this line.
As to the Jones line, there were Jones in Rosehill, that was my grmother's maiden name (m. to Don Herbert Coad). Her father John Abner Jones was b. in Bartholomew Co., IN and moved to Rosehill as a child(he had 14 sibs).But I have only tracked a few of them- no Gwen that I've found yet.

Re: Fred & Gwendolyn Coad
Thank you Ed and Julia for your replies.
I have still been unable to locate Fred and Gwen. My hope was to locate their descendants. I know who Gwen's parents are and her ancestery but have very little about Gwen other than she was born around 1904 in Madison County, Illinois and married Fred Coad in the early 1920's. (I have a possible date of July 12, 1923 from a photo.) I do not know if they had any children. Hopefully with the 1930 census coming out this year I will be able to find them. I had hoped that maybe someone on the Coad message board or the mailing list would know of a Fred Coad that married a Gwen Jones. I appreciate your help and will continue to search. They are out there somewhere!

Re: Fred & Gwendolyn Coad
Fred and Gwen Coad were my paternal grandparents. If you are still looking for information, I may be able to provide.
Fred and Gwen had three children. A daughter died very young and they had twin boys born 12/03/31. My father, Robert F Coad, Sr. died 02/11/69. His twin brother, Thomas Coad, DDS still is still living, married to Cynthia Pryor Coad, in Santa Ana CA.
Sincerely,
Robert F. Coad, Jr.

Re: Fred & Gwendolyn Coad
Thank you for your reply. Yes I am still and always looking for information. Would love to know the descendants of Fred and Gwen, where they came from and where they went. I like to see where the family migrates. My direct interest is in Gwen Jones Coad and what you know of her and her ancestors. I have a lot of info on the Jones's that I can share. Gwen's parents who where Daniel R. and Mary Morgan Jones. One of Daniel R.'s sisters was named Gwen Jones and she is my great grandmother. Please let me know if you are interested in any of this info, or if you know of these ancestors. Martha Flora
