Hello.  I am seeking information on Arthur and Francisca Brock.  They were living according to the 1930 California census in the City of Los Angeles.  Arthur Brock was born 1887 in Philadelphia, PA and married Frances Goehler in 1924 Santa Ana, CA.  Frances was born 1893 in Philadelphia, PA.  And according to the 1920 Philadelphia census, she was an actress in moving pictures.  Arthur Brock was an inventor of an aerial camera and a rich business man that is from a very well to do family from PA.  I am interested in finding their marriage record and deaths/buriels.  Any info is much appreciated.  Thank you.

My favorite resource is Vital Search California. They are always adding new databases, but they have pre 1940 death indexes and county related directories and vital records

I am looking information in reference to Raymond Williams, the son of Adolph Williams and Loretto H (maiden name is not know). Hi father, Adolph, was born 13 Nov 1894 in Fruitvale, California in 1894 and died in 1955 in the San Francisco or San Mateo areas of California. His mother Lorretto was born 1896 in California and died in 1979 in San Mateo, California.
Raymond was still living in 1979 according to his mother's obituary.
Both Adolph and Loretto, Raymond's parents, are buried at Holy Cross Cemetery in San Francisco, California.
No further information is known about Raymond Williams. Any help is appreciated.

I am looking in to a mystery of the disappearance of a man named Ewing Williams. Ewing was born in 1891 in Fruitvale, California near Oakland. he is the son of Roger and Margaret Williams. He had a brother: Adolph & a sister Agnes Williams. The brothers were involved in the printing industry for an occupation. not much is known of Ewing except that his Return of Birth in the City of Oakland has no given name on it. In 1900 - 1910 Ewing is enumeratd on the census with his family. In 1914 he shows up on the California Voter registration of Almeda County. On August 21, 1914 an article shows up in the Oakland tribune referencing alcohol & a domestic dispute between Ewing and his wife Amelia (nee Ginochio) Williams led to divorce. On April 22, 1915 there is a small reference stating that a divorce was filed. Then no more is found on Ewing Williams.
There is no California Death index and does not appear to have any other information in any other state. His Wife shows up on the 1920 census with her parents and listed as a widow. Amelia goes on to marry a man Named Samuel Peel.
Ewing's brother, Adolph, for a short period of time relocated to Portage, St Joseph County, Indiana near South Bend at the time of the WWI Draft registration. There is no Draft registration card for Ewing but on Adolph's registration card he served as a Corporal in the 5th infantry of the California State Militia (aka California National Guard) prior to WWI. This was during the Punitive Expedition. i have checked the California State Archive & obtained a copy of the muster roll for the 5th infantry and Ewing is not listed there either.
is there some one that can help with solving the mystery of what happened to Ewing Williams.

.My family tree on my mothers side has the Looney family. While alot of Looneys can trace their family tree from Ireland through Virginia to other parts of the United States. Mine goes from Ireland in the late 1800s to San Francisco. My grandfather is Frank Looney (born Edward Francis) in San Mateo in May of 1908 and died in 1982. His father was Daniel Singleton Looney who was born in County Cork, Ireland, in Sept 1868. He immigrated to the United States about 1886 ending up in San Francisco. He lived there till his death in May 1945. His mother, Ellen Singleton, immigrated to the United States with Daniel. Her husband, Edward J. Looney (?), did not leave Ireland.

Daniels brothers were Edward M. Looney (1874-1945) and Patrick Singleton Looney (1877 - 1947) and his sister was Elizabeth Looney (Sister Mary Patrick Rupert) (1879 - 1969). All born in Ireland, immigrated to the United States and died in California.

Daniel married Mary Grace (b. Idaho Territory 1875 (?) - San Mateo, CA 1920). They had three children: Edward Francis (Frank) Looney, James Joesph Looney (1913-1988) and Imelda Grace Looney (1909-1986).

Frank married Kay Lynch and had one daughter, Mary.

If anyone can link into this tree or provide me with information I would greatly appreaciate it
