Am seeking info on Lillian Valentine, born 1898, died 1964, living near Hartford Ct. Would especially like parents and first spouse info.

Hi Lauren

I have Valentine relatives near Hartford, CT. No Lillian on my list, but then my list is nowhere near complete. Have Pleasant/Plesent Valentine son of Samuel and Nancy Lee who lived in Burlington, CT and New Hartford, CT among other small towns in that area. Pleasent/Plesent had brothers Samuel, Wallace, Obe, Tilman/Tillman, Lee and a sister Clara who may have died young. Don't know if they ever lived in CT or not. I know Tilman/Tillman spent some time in Florida and Pennsylvania.

Your getting awful close to my root group. My grandmother was Emma Lillian Valentine married to Lester Newell Valentine they were my grandparents and she came from Sheffield England and he from the Wallingford Connecticut area. There are some 20 valentine of that era in that area and I from memorey think there was a first cousin of my grandfather lester newell who was a lillian also. I will dig out my records as I have started the Valentine clan in Connecticut and have many of the Conn group I have the feeling you may be part of this group. Hartford is about 30 minutes from Wallingford and there were aboujt 30 valentines in Wallingford, Meridan, and other spots close by. I dont recall any Hartford Valentines but will check. The Oldest living reletive I have in that area outside my mother Ora Kowalski (remarried widow of Robert William Valentine is David Valentine now probably aged 75 of North Haven Ct. Ora, my mother, is in Wallingford. Best regards and let me know what else I can do.l

Hi, My husband's grandfather was Pleasent Valentine from New Hartford, His second wife Eva is still alive his first wife Mildred (Mullens form Beacon Falls) died some time ago probably 8 years or so. I have quite a bit of information if you'd like to contact me I knew him quite well and my grandparents also lived next door to him and Eva when they were young. It would be great to share information.

In reading your message again Pleasent had a sister Beatrice Osden who lived in New Hartford but I never heard anything about any other siblings as far as I know It was only the two of them.

I am looking for info. re: my father's family. Robert Irving Valentine, B. 4-1-0-26 in Bristol Ct. His father was Ludger Valentine, also Bristol, Ct?

Hello, I may be able to help you in your search for valentines.
Beatrice Valentine was one of my Aunt's and did live in New Hartford at one time. She was married to my mothers brother, who's name was Howard Osden. Howard has been deceased for many years. When I last talked to Beatrice, roughly a year ago, she was in poor health and living in Torrington, above her son Howard Jr. I don't know of her condition at this time, but her son may be able to help you with regard to the Valentine family. You should be able to reach him at 860-482-4332. Hope you find this helpful. Jim

Thank you very much. I actually know where aunt Beat lives with Toby in Torrington. She is my father-in-law's aunt. Her brother, Plesent, was my husband's grandfather. Actually I know quite a bit (but want to learn more!) because, when they were young, my grandparents lived next door to my husband's grandparents in Nepaug. My grandmother had lent her baby crib to Eva (Plesent's second wife) for baby Tony to use. This was, of course, many, many years before I met my husband. It's a small world! Thank you for your help.
