Danks Family

LindaBroyles38 — 2011-04-30 20:38:36Z

My Grandmother is a daughter of Isaac Rowland(Roland)Danks. She was born in Kansas. I know some of the history past her I'm confussed. Not sure I'm right could someone help me get on the right path. Thanks!

Re: Danks - England, Scotland, US - Ironworkers

carolinemaday1 — 2011-04-29 12:41:47Z

Henry R. Danks, born in Pennsylvania in abt 1857. Died when he was thirty in 1887 of typhoid fever. He was married to Nancy Bechtel(Often misspelled as Betchel). His parents were John Danks and Mary______. Most family trees put his parents as Henry Danks and Anna Russell but his death record filed in Huron County gives John and Mary. There is an obit of Anna Russell Danks Smith that names Henry as hers but at this point I'm more inclined to think that whoever wrote the obit made an incorrect assumption. His parents were very likely still living when he died and the death record is more likely to be accurate. I would really like confirmation either way with birth records or some other evidence. Caroline

Re: Danks - England, Scotland, US - Ironworkers

lesleyswann1 — 2011-04-29 01:34:49Z

I feel sure he is tied to my line, but not as one of John and Mary's children. Their birth years appear to be a generation too soon for your Henry. What was your Henry's full name and do you have any more information about his family? Do you have anything on his spouse or children?

My gg grandfather was Henry Danks. He was born about 1857. He died when he was 30 and the death record said his parents were John and Mary Danks. He was born in Pennsylvania, died in Michigan. Could my Henry be one of your John and Mary's children?

Re: Thomas Danks (1898 -ish!)

gilmert — 2010-05-31 22:16:35Z

An Internet posting (of a few years back) indicates you have been looking for info. on one Thomas A. Danks Jr.--if I jotted the info. down correctly. The following may be of some interest to you:

A Thomas A. Danks, Jr. died May 29, 1950 in Mobile, Alabama, USA. He was a Band Sergeant in the US military during World War I, and after that war toured Europe with the John Philip Sousa band giving concerts there. I do not know his date of birth, but I knew him as a music student; I would guess his age at the time of death as about 50 to 55.

If you think this man is related to the Danks who came to America from Scotland, and you are interested in more information, let me know and I'll share with you whatever I know. I live in the Washington D.C. area; my email is: gilmert@hotmail.com.

Re: Thomas Danks (1898 -ish!)

CatherineLiggins — 2010-04-03 00:29:27Z

Hello,

Just wondering if you knew where your Grandfather came from? Was his wife American? What were their children called?

Finding out information about what happened to this member of my family has always been of interest. It's a mystery that I would love to solve for my mother.

Would you have a photograph of when your grandfather was young...in his 20's - 30's?

Re: Thomas Danks (1898 -ish!)

tdennison113 — 2010-04-02 21:53:39Z

y grandfather Thomas Danks migrated to united states about that time . HIs wife was Mary (Matsy). They wound up in San Diego CA . They had three daughters,all are deceased.I don't know a lot about my family history. I do known that lost their wealth in bad investments ,possibly Russian rubels.

ruthjanemarr — 2010-03-29 20:44:14Z

Hello Catherine, I have just read your post and hope you may pick up this message even at this late stage. Thomas Danks was my uncle, and what happened to him is still a mystery. I am Ruth Jane Boland Marr nee Danks, my father was George Robb Danks, Thomas's brother. My Dad was no 10 in the family line up!

This is a guess, but I think you are the daughter of my cousin Jane(nee Campbell). I would be delighted to hear from you, my email address is ruthjanemarr@hotmail.co.uk I hope your parents are well, I spoke to John and Mary at Christmas, and they keep me in touch with the Campbell branch of the family. I believe you live in Canada, and have two young children?

Some of my cousins are getting together this Summer at my house in Stirling, it would be wonderful if you were able to join us. Of course, they are your Mother's cousins too. Not sure how much you know about the recent family, but so far, Jeanette and Lawrence son and daughter of Aunt Jean (Jane), Evelyn, daughter of Uncle Alec, Jonathan and Jane children of Uncle John, will hopefully be there with spouses. Jonathan (Jon) is keen on family history, you may have already been in touch with him.
I have a photo of Uncle Tommy, and could send it to you if you have never seen him. What a tragedy it was for the family.
Hope to hear from you Catherine, please give my very best wishes to your Mother and the other family members.
Kind Regards,
Ruth.

Re: Mercy L. DANKS b.1821 VT - m. Daniel L. STARR Settled OH->CANADA->WI->OH

marjijane — 2010-01-18 18:13:07Z

Omar C. Starr is my great-great-grandfather, through his daughter Minnie Maude. My grandmother was raised by Omar and Emma in Tabor, Iowa.

We get back as far as Daniel and it pretty much ends. Confusing, also, as I find him listed as Daniel S. and Daniel L. but always married to Mercy Danks. I'm guessing that the L/S confusion is caused by transcription of handwritten records. Does anyone know what his middle name was? I can fill in some descendants of Omar Starr for you, but have very little on ancestors.

Mary (Morris) Danks' parents

akgagliani — 2009-12-07 22:53:54Z

Mary (Morris) Danks was likely a daughter of Isaac Morris and his wife, Mary Heath (mentioned in the will of Captain Samuel Ruggles of Roxbury). Mary (Heath) Morris was a daughter of William Heath(son of Peleg Heath and grandson of William Heath who came from England) and Anna Ruggles, dau.of Captain Samuel Ruggles and 2nd wife, Anna Bright and grandaughter of Thomas Ruggles of Nanzing, Essex, England.

The Morris family of Roxbury is also connected with the Heath family back in England, so I suspect father Isaac Morris derives from the Morris family of Roxbury somehow. Possibly a grandson of Edward and Grace (Bett) Morris, but I have yet to determine which of their sons could be his father. Most likely suspect is Isaac Morris who married Hannah Mayo. Any ideas are welcome????

William Baden Danks, Falkirk, Scotland

AlanGow — 2009-11-30 00:31:35Z

William Baden Danks (b.1900 - d.) was married to Henrietta McGregor Gow on 28th December 1923 in Falkirk, Scotland.

His son and daughter were William McGregor Danks b. 1925 and Margaret McGregor Danks b.1930.

Willian Baden Danks' parents are William Thomas Danks and Eliza Haywood. I have the Marriage Certificate if this helps anyone?

Any descendants please get in touch. I've traced Henrietta Gow's ancestors to the late 17th century.

Danks

EBauer3050 — 2009-11-09 20:43:34Z

I have information on John Danks'christening in 1812 in England. The Danks were originally from the Birmingham area of southwest England. Some of them went to the Lanarkshire area of Scotland in the 1830's to work in the iron/steel industry. They came to Troy, Rensselaer, NY and the Cleveland, Cuyahoga, OH areas in the US in late 1840's. They were in the iron/steel business in this country. A brother of my ancestor developed the Danks puddling furnace and sold a large number of them worldwide.

Danks - Scottish connections

annejames90 — 2009-11-08 16:10:13Z

My Grandfather was named Edward Danks Coulton. He was born and lived in Freckleton Lancashire. I can trace his grandmother back to Christina Johnston born 1837 in Carlisle whose parents, James and Margaret Johnston previously lived in Lesmahagow, Lanarkshire. Family history has it that the Danks name came from Scotland, certainly a lot of the boys in the family had the name so it must have been important. The family also owned a red Christening robe (for boys only) which was apparently a traditional garment (sadly now lost)

If anyone can link to this connection I woudl be greatful

Re: Danks in Michigan

audraheath — 2009-08-17 22:03:15Z

I am interested in the information you have about the Danks from Huron County, Michigan. I am interested in Jessie W. Jewell who married Albert George Danks in Owendale, Huron, MI. on 25 Nov 1909.

Re: danks/bagley/hall

HISTIBBONS — 2009-04-08 21:42:10Z

I don't know if you ever solved your puzzle but I have been tracing a friends tree this evening and I think the answer lies in the 1851 census for Eliza Hall where it states she had an illegitimate child in 1850 called Elizabeth who then appears on later census as Elizabeth Danks, however when marrying she may well of reverted to her "real" name Elizabeth Hall or Eliza Hall Danks. I have been through the family on each census to check.

Moses married Eliza Hall in 1861 and correctly appears on the 1861 census and onwards married to her. Moses is also on the 1851 census with his widowed mother.Moses is consistently listed as a Miner on each census and is in the same area each time.

A while ago via Ancestry.com I found a passenger record for a Thomas Danks traveling from Liverpool to the USA via Canada:

Border Crossings From Canada to US: 1895-1956

Thomas Danks passenger number 27. Please note that the record is over 2 pages on the original document. It records next of kin as: Wife: Mary Danks.

Just recently I found another record for a Thomas Danks returning to Scotland, just 6 months later:

UK Incoming Passenger Lists, 1878-1960

It would be interesting if this is the same man, my relation.

I will contact you via your email address. Thanks for replying to my message!

I am the author of the book that Richard Deskins refers to: The Hannums of Massachusetts, whicvh is based in good measure on the work of my grandfather, William H. Hannum 1863-1956, (not my father as Richard suggests). If you are interested in more information on the book, and how to order a copy, contact me directly on my E-mail: wm.hannum@earthlink.net.
In my book, I list the 7 children of Zenas and Lavina Hannum Brown. I have collected further information (not in the book) on the family that went Berrien Springs, MI, but am always interested in filling in more details.

Re: Dorothy Danks

RichardDeskins — 2008-01-04 23:07:54Z

The book I have is "The Hannums of Massachusetts and Their Forbears". Authors are William Hamilton Hannum and his son William Hamilton Hannum. My 3rd g grandmother was Sarah the daughter of Eleazer Hannum and Dorothy Danks.

Sylvia,
my apologies for not contacting you before - I completely missed your message. The Mary Worton you refer to could have been a daughter of Louisa Danks (Hagar's sister) and Job Worton - born around 1889 so just about old enough. Job and Louisa were my great grandparents.

Looking for information on Thomas Danks. Originally left Glasgow, Scotland shortly after WW1. Parents were Francis Danks and Jane (nee Brown). (Grandparents were Thomas & Janet Danks, and William & Agnes Brown). Family never heard from Thomas (Tommy) after leaving Scotland. Thought to have gone to America, possibly with a wife by the name of Mary...possibly to New Jersey (Princeton?)?

Thomas' sister, Janet Robb Danks went looking for him in New York sometime between 1919-1932/3 and never found him. The family have always wondered what happened to him. Please email if the slightest connection.

Hi, I have an Isaac b wft 1810-1830 to Nathaniel Earll DANKS and Betsy NEWTON. Source was:

http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=geolars...

and I am continuing to fill in ALL gaps of DANKS (so others feel free to post and I'll share what I've got) particularly those that settled Licking Co., and Ashtabula Co. OH, then later Dane Co., WI, and then Jones Co., IA

Nathaniel apparently died in Syracuse, Onondaga Co., NY, in 1853 (he was b. 1792). Also Nathaniel's father was also named Isaac (Captain) and was one of the early arrivals in Onondaga.

I'll see what I come up with - feel free to drop me a note directly.

Best

Isaac Danks and wife Mary

Seeking connection with descendants of Isaac Danks and wife Mary (?). He was born abt 1816 and is in Lysander, Onandoga County, NY in 1840 but then removed family to Cass County, IN. Five children: Elizabeth, Asenath, Merrit, Isaac and Frances. Isaac died in Cass County May 1855. His daughter Elizabeth married Abraham Dunham in Cass County and their daughter Ida May was my great-grandmother. Cannot find Isaac's parents nor marriage info to Mary (?).
