Hello "Just M", thank you for your reply & information. I already had the Census details that you sent but, it's knowing that my Aunt Anne moved to Florida with her children & died there that is the focus of my search, for now. I just don't know where she resided or when she passed or what happened to them. I'm holding out hope that one of her descendants or perhaps someone who may have known her & her family may help with making a connection.

"Just M" if you or other fellow searchers happen to stumble across any information at all, please forward as I have no recent information at all. Again, many thanks for your help! Regards, Nora :)

Hello  Eliz...re: Aunt Anne (Phillips) Gallagher...I only have Aunt Anne's name as "Anne Phillips, b. in Colliers, Nfld, Canada. No initials that I know"...I have no firm idea as to where she resided in Florida, I do remember hearing talk that she might have lived in the Dade-Miami area, would this make sense??? The only info I have has already been mentioned in the previous discussions. Her husband, Joseph, died around or just prior to 1940 when they lived in New Jersey. I have no actual date when Aunt Anne & her children moved to Florida. If she could be somehow linked to her children, that might be the next lead...Eliz, a little family background about Aunt Anne - my Dad was b. 1922 and was just a little boy when his eldest sibling left home and emigrated to the "States", as far as I know she never came back. Both of my parents passed in 1985 and we have no records/pics/etc...of my Aunt or her family.

Thank you so very much for all your efforts!! Regards, Nora :)
