CRUIKSHANK, Arnold, born 1795, appears suddenly on the 1870 Martinez US
census living with my g-g uncle William Cruikshank and William's wife
Annie and their two children. I can find no record of an Arnold
Cruikshank in the family tree nor in any other census or other historical
records. It may be that the last name is incorrect; that Arnold's last
name might actually be Finch or Dugay (less likely) or some other name;
and might be Annie Cruikshank's father or other relative. I am trying to
find out how Arnold "Cruikshank" fits into the family tree! Any
information at all would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Nancy

HEAD
My grandmother, May Beatrix
HEAD, was born on 22-May-1889, apparently in the
small town of Byron, in
east Contra Costa County. Unfortunately, neither the county nor the
state has a copy of her
birth certificate (after I paid $30 in requests!), and I have been
unable to find a newspaper announcement of her birth. Does anyone reading
this have any research tips on how I might be able to determine who her
father was? In a 1901 obituary for her grandfather, George DONALDSON, May
Head's mother was referred to as
Mrs. George Head, but other than his name, I know nothing about my
g-grandfather. Thanks for any help! swn1@comcast.net 17

RICHARDS
I am looking for information on Francis RICHARDS, who was born 18
November 1868 in Cambourne Cornwall England. His wife was named Mary and
was born in Gwinear Cornwall England on 25 September 1862.
I know that he died in March of 1935 from my great grandparents papers,
but I do not know where. As of the 1930 census, he was still living in
Richmond, Contra Costa County and working in a Paper mill. He was a miner
by trade, and came to Richmond from where he was working as a Shifter for
Cananea Consolidated Copper Company S.A. His passport dated 1918 lists
the Richmond address as his home.
I would like to know where he and Mary are buried, if there is a possible
obituary, and if there were any children.
Thank you in Advance for your help. - Diane Eaton
