Louisa Needs

wakelarunen1 — 2010-10-31 03:26:05Z

I am looking for information on my great grandmother Louisa Needs. I know that her parents names are James Needs and Mary Baker. I know that her first husband is Alexander John Whittaker. Her second husband is my great grandfather Robert William Pearson.

I am not sure where in England Louisa (also went by Louie) was born. I do know that it was around 1873. We believe it was the Lancashire area.

In freebmd ( http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl ) you will find a Mary A.N's birth registered in 1883 in St Faith's, Norfolk. Go to http://www.gro.gov.uk/ where you may order the b-cert on line. This does not necessarily mean that that Mary is yours.

Regards

Geoff

Re: mary ann needs (born c1840)

mpanozzo1 — 2007-07-06 01:20:39Z

This is a possibility.
FreeBMD shows a birth of Mary Ann Needs, registered in the June quarter 1838 in St. Faiths, Norfolk.
The 1851 census of St. Faiths, Rackheath, Norfolk shows this family:
James Needs 34, farm labourer
Sarah 36
Mary Ann 12, Edward 11, John 8, Easter Elizabeth 6
James 5, George William 2, Amelia 9 mo.

This family does not appear on the 1861 census except for Edward, 21, who was married by then.
Hope this is of some help. Let me know if you need more info.

Cora Needs-Gene Cress, 1900's, OH/WV ????????

rschoen63 — 2006-05-13 03:21:25Z

I have a bit of a mystery.

I recently came into possession of several old family photos from my paternal grandmother's family. Most of them are labelled on the back. The handwriting looks very similar to my grandmother's, so it could be hers or, perhaps, one of her sisters.

My grandmother was Freda Irene Needs Schoen (1908-1992). She was born and lived all of her life in Washington County, Ohio. Her parents were James Eldredge and Rena Belle Fleming Needs. James Eldredge (1874-1949) was the son of Thomas E. and Margaret L. King Needs.

The person whom I am trying to place in the family is Cora Needs. I have 5 photos of Cora; some including other people. The photos are the type which were made into post cards. The photos have the following hand-written inscriptions [with additional notes in brackets]:

1) "Cora" [Published by Nicoll's Art Store, Wheeling, W.VA.]

2) "Cora Needs and two of her cousins. Hazel Maloy"

3) "Cora and her pets Ted and Polly." [Ted is a small dog looking very much like a Jack Russel Terrier. Polly is a parrot. Freter Bros. Famous Post Cards. Made at Bridgeport, Ohio.]

4) "Aunt Mary Needs Hess and Cora Needs. House on 17th St., Wheeling, W.Va."

5) "Dad's niece. Cora and Gene Cress." [Wheeling Park. Souvenir of 1908].

I believe that "Dad" is James Eldredge Needs. He had 6 brothers: George W. (b. 1855); Charles W. (b. 1856); William M. (b. 1859); David A. (b. 1861); John S. (b. 1866); and Thomas E. (b. 1869). So far I have not found a daughter named Cora for any of them.

Does anyone know these people?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thomas E. Needs (1832-1906) + Margaret L. King (1834-1888), OH

rschoen63 — 2006-05-13 03:21:25Z

Recently, I was given copies of photographs of my great-great-grandparents, Thomas E. NEEDS and Margaret L. KING.

A scan of the photos is attached to this message. If you are unable to get to the attachment you can see the photos at the following address: http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/s/c/h/Richard-M-S...

Both Thomas and Margaret are brickwalls for me. I've had no luck finding the parents of either one.

Thomas E. NEEDS was born August 10, 1832 in Pennsylvania and he died on March 15, 1906 at Cow Run, Lawrence Township, Washington County, Ohio. Margaret L. KING was born April 6, 1834 in Monroe County, Ohio and died on March 1, 1888 at Cow Run, Lawrence Township, Washington County, Ohio. Thomas and Margaret were married about 1853 in Monroe County, Ohio and had 10 children:

1. George W. Needs, b. about 1855
2. Charles W. Needs, b. about 1856
3. William M. Needs, b. about 1859
4. David A. Needs, b. about 1862
5. Mary Ann Needs, b. about 1865
6. John S. Needs, b. about 1867
7. Thomas E. Needs, b. December 2, 1869
8. Rosa Needs, b. June 28, 1872
9. James E. Needs, b. July 2, 1874; d. October 7, 1949
10. Lilly Needs, b. about 1877

James E. Needs was my great-grandfather.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Re: John Needs

2004-12-05 20:00:56Z

Do you mean John Needs born about 1926? He had 11 (or 13) brothers and sisters.

Or another John Needs son of Walter and Lucy Needs. This John had two brothers; Charles F. and Mark. I don't know who he or Mark married.
