Years later, so not sure you'll see this -- yes, I have gone to marland.org... unfortunately, my ancestors left England prior to most of the information on that site (great as it was!)

I would love to see the photo -- Annie Marland Pierce is my 3rd great grand-aunt.

Annie Brierly Marland Peirce was the daughter of Abraham Marland and Mary Sykes Marland. She married Thomas Sims Pierce and they had 3 children. (Mary Alice Peirce, Elizabeth C. Peirce and Thomas Marland Peirce).

Their oldest daughter Mary Alice (July 27 1837 - Oct 6 1918) married Edson C. Chick (Jun 26 1843-Jun 22 1915). They had three children: Edson Spauling Chick born in 1871 and must be the baby in the photo. He died in 1907. Eugen Chick (1874-1958_ and Lucia Peirce Chick April 27 1876-Jul 1 1974

Hello-

I am a retired faculty member of Holland Hall School in Tulsa. I am writing a history of the school (founded 1922) and have come across the name LaVerne Marland as an employee of the school in 1942-1943. I know that George Roberts Marland, adopted son of E.W. Marland, the oil magnate, married a LaVerne (sp.) Donahue Denoya and I am wondering if our LaVerne Marland is the same person as George’s wife. I have read that George and LaVerne moved to Tulsa shortly after he left the oil company in the early 40s.

Thanks,

Ron Palma

You are right about Laverne Marland. Lydia is incorrect however. Her name was Lyde (Lydie) Marland. She was absent from Ponca City for about 22 years during the 50's and 60's into the 70's. The article in the Post also was not entirely correct in its content. The story was sensationalized as the press can sometimes do.

Re: Article about Laverne, wife of E.W. Marland

dettejc — 2012-01-10 23:26:15Z

I think you are referring to Lyde (Lydie) Marland (adopted daughter and then 2nd wife of EW Marland), not Laverne Marland, wife of George Marland (EW's adopted son).

In an email from another Marland family member: "In the 1880 US Census go to the Mormon website www.familysearch.org Look on the left side and you will see the US Census. Joel (27) and James(18) were living with their parents George and Ann Marland in Pittsburgh, PA in 1880."

Re: Marland Family

mollypaul_1 — 2011-02-02 19:45:15Z

Some years ago, I had email from Matilda "Tillie" Myers: According to her, the children of George Marland were Alfred, George, Henry, Joel, Mary, James and Charlotte Ann. She was uncertain of the birth order but informed me that James was the youngest. This would make Joel E.W. Marland's uncle.

She wrote that her gg-grandfather James Marland (he passed away in 1955 at the age of 95) was a mold maker by trade and organized glassworker unions in Pittsburgh. She mentions his brother Alfred as an attorney in Pittsburgh (this is an error...his SON, E.W. Marland was the attorney; Alfred was in steel manufacturing and served in the Pennsylvania state legislature), and another brother Henry (occupation unknown). She mentions nothing about the other siblings.

I am unsure how accurate some of her information is, but it's a place for you to start.

Re: Marland

mollypaul_1 — 2011-02-02 19:22:40Z

According to "Lydie's Legend, E.W. Marland's Tragic Love" by Patti Apman (1995), George Roberts was born on November 19, 1897 and Lydia (called Lydie) Miller Roberts was born on April 20, 1900 in Flourtown, Pa to George Frederick Roberts and Margaret Collins (Mary Virginia Collins Marland's sister). On that page in the booklet is a photograph of young George, Mrs. Sam Collins (Mary Virginia and Margaret's mother), E.W. Marland, Lydia and Mary Virginia.

Later, two more children were born to George and Margaret Roberts, Virginia Roberts and Ernest Marland Roberts. George, Sr. is mentioned as a pushcart peddler and there really isn't much substantive information about him.

In any case, the Roberts apparently didn't make a lot of money and like many people in similar situations during those times, farmed out some of the children to more well-to-do relatives. George, Jr and Lydia/Lydie went to Ponca City, Oklahoma in 1912 to visit and never went back home to Flourtown to stay. They were officially adopted by the E.W. Marlands in 1916.

Mrs. Marland (Mary Virginia) died in 1926. In 1928, Mr. E.W. Marland went back to Flourtown to have Lydia's adoption annulled so he could marry her that same year. Their wedding took place in the Roberts home there.

Re: Article about Laverne, wife of E.W. Marland

mollypaul_1 — 2011-02-01 22:29:07Z

That turns out to be an inaccurate statement in both respects.

There absolutely WAS a LaVerne Marland. LaVerne Donohue Denoya married George Roberts Marland in Ponca City, OK in January, 1930 and remained married to him until his death.

Lydia (called Lydie) Marland INTENTIONALLY disappeared from the public eye for something like 22 years. She left Ponca City in 1953 and attempted to live incognito in a great many locations across the United States. The mystery of her whereabouts was featured in an article entitled "Where is Lydie Marland?" in the November 22, 1958 Saturday Evening Post.

Hi Leanne,
I've been tryng to contact you for ages, but haven't known how to. I think you might be related to Emily Bolton who married John Henry Marland in 1891. We are descended from Emily's parents Charles Bolton and Sarah Ann Holdsworth. I would be interested in swapping infm with you about that family.
Cheers

Re: Marland

rioandtye — 2010-03-17 17:41:24Z

George was my father's uncle. My grandfather was Ernest Marland Roberts. Brother to George and Lydie.

My Father is Marland Roberts. Margo would be my father's 1st cousin and my 2nd.

This is one area we do not know too much about. My grandfather was a bitter man I assume because he was not adopted by Marland and Mary Virgina? Eventhough E W was very generous with my grandfather.
Any information you can provide, like the information on his bith certificate and the 4th sibling.
So far I have...George, Lydie, Ernest ( my grandfather) and I dont have the name of the 4th child.
Thank you,
Penny Roberts

Cool, Lavern may have been George's wife. We have heard Verna. Alot of miss information has been passed on. And for the dignatiy of Lydie, I have been trying to correct things on her behalf. ALL those Children from the Roberts family were very...."damaged" by the events from thier childhood. Its sad really.
Lydie "hid" from the world after Marland died.

Re: Article about Laverne, wife of E.W. Marland

Diane_Grooms — 2010-03-17 12:12:01Z

This is an old post and I was just putting in the information I found on the article. Laverne is the name used in the article. Perhaps the newspaper assumed Lydie was a nickname and used Laverne instead. I don't know, I just wanted to pass on the information

Re: Article about Laverne, wife of E.W. Marland

rioandtye — 2010-03-17 03:45:07Z

rioandtye — 2010-03-17 03:41:24Z

Hello,

I am Penny Roberts, grand niece of Lydie Roberts Marland< Maybe I can clear a few things up.

E W Marland was married to Mary the sister of Eliza Collins.....Lydie's Aunt. Mary and Eliza were sisters. Eliza had a daughter named Maggie ( my great grandmother) she had 2 children in 1900, Lydie and George and liver with her parents Eliza and Samuel Collins.

Lydie and George went to live with thier Aunt Mary and Uncle E W in Poca City OK. They eventualy addopted Lydie and George when my grand mother had another baby; my grandfather, Ernest Roberts.
Mary died and a few years later when Lydie was 20, E W anulled the adoption and married Lydie.

Re: Ruth or Charles Marland

leecass1 — 2008-05-14 19:42:53Z

In addition to my last post i have found some further information from relatives:

Ruth Marland had a sister called Sarah Marland who lived at 2 albert Terrace New Mills in 1942 - Charles also lived with his aunt at this address 1942.

Ruth (dob unknown) had two children:

Charles Marland dob 19.03.1917 death 1979
Mary Marland dob unknown but born after charles (mary was adopted out to a family in High Lane, Disley)

Apparently Ruth worked as a servant, and according to relatives, this was working for a jewish family - the father could possibly be the son of this jewish family... ruth lived with the father up until the birth of Mary.

Charles married Sybil Wood in 1942, and they had two children: John Ross Marland 28.02.1945 & Linda (dob unknown)

Any help to trace these from my tree would be appreciated..

Ruth or Charles Marland

leecass1 — 2008-05-05 19:55:44Z

I am trying to trace Ruth Marland, mother to Charles Marland (my grandfather)born 19.03.1917 died 14.02.1979.

Charles was born at St Mary's Hospital manchester.

The father is not listed on the birth certificate, but his mother Ruth was living at 18 Ripon St, Greenheys and was a domstic servant.

Any help to trace my tree would be appreciated
