What was your granmother's First name?
Its not surprising that your Treadgolds were builders if they came from Redditch. This is the same root family as me and it goes back to 1600 in Warwickshire. Can you give me any other clues as William and Robert were very common names at that time. Any info on Marriages and deaths would help too...Larry

Hi, in reply to yours my grandmother was Gertrude Sarah Treadgold, I have some info on family plus a transcript of a letter from Robert Treadgolds brother in law in Oregon after they returned to Redditch.

Let me know if this is of any interest.

Robert had siblings Archer William 1878Feb 15,William Henry 1887 Jan 4 both born Redditch and Annie jane b 1876 Oregon City. Robert married Elizabeth Archer in Oregon City.

Hi Larry,

I have been looking at your email I have been unable to reconcile some of the dates etc. (1) I have always understood that Archie or Archer was born in Oregon in 1875 not 1878 (2) Jinnie or Annie Jane was born after Archie (It was alleged that Jinnie who always had a dark complexion was an Indian baby picked up by mistake as she was said to have been born on the overland trip back across America at an Indian Reservation (if Archie was born in 1878 Jinnie in 1876 how come that they are both mentioned in a letter sent from Richard Archer to his sister brother in law (Robert T.) on 28 April 1879 (which was obviously NOT the first letter between the two parties) I can forward a transcript of this letter (original with Colin Hughes at Cubbington) (3) I do not think my grandmothers D O B is correct we have always had her D O B as 1882. (4) Robert T. Elizabeth had another daughter not on your list a Georgina May D O B 5 May 1893 I am in regular correspondence with one of her daughters in Redditch (5) After the death of Elizabeth Robert T. remarried his second wife was Nelle Hill they had a daughter Olive. (6) William Henry T. went back to the U S A at the time of the San Franciso Fire apparently made a lot of money (I was supposed at one time to be going to be sent to the U S A during the second war but nothing came of it)
As both my mother grandmother were divorced when I was about three I did not get all that much family history on either side I am trying to piece together bits pieces from all over.
I await your reply with interest

P S Robert Elizabeth were married on 30 November 1873 at Oregon, Clackamas

I know your post was in 2000, but I am hoping you get this. I am looking for any information on Gertrude Sarah Treadgold from Redditch England. If this is the same person, she was married to Albert Hughes.

I really hope to hear from you.

I just ran across your posts regarding Gertrude Treadgold. I am looking to piece together some of the family tree.

Gertrude's mother-in-law, Ann Elizabeth (Crow) Hughes was my g-g grandfather's sister.

I would love hearing from you.
