Re: James Boyde/Catherine Corlett

Here are some comments, without brackets, about what you sent...

Id#: 0062648
Name: Corlett, Ann
Date: Dec 31 1949

[Are you sure this is the right Philip Corlett? A death in 1949 seems late to me–especially if Maggie Corlett Reimer is her daughter, born 1852]

Sorry for the confusion and I agree with your reasoning. The info was in her file as a "not likely possible" and I shouldn't have posted it.

1. daughter: Maggie (Corlett) REMIER of Cleveland (from my late cousin Lousia Jane (Corlett) Feick jcf)

[I have been really confused by Maggie Reimer. Her death cert (at Familysearch.org, beta site) gives her death October 26, 1942, birth April 13, 1852. Parents John Radcliff, Ann Corlett.
The death cert of Maggie’s husband, Henry (Harry) Reimer, October 15, 1923, gives his spouse as Margaret Corlett Reimer.
The marriage cert, Henry Reimer/Maggie Corlett, 25 Oct 1883
So, was she a Corlett or a Radcliff?]

She was a Corlette born and died in Cleveland per my cousin jcf who knew her. Henry's death and marriage info sounds good but I can't confirm.

1 (George?) CORLETT of Toledo OH or Ontario CA

[Think his name might have been John...]

son Robert J. CORLETT b.1840 gsi d.24 Mar 1911 gsi West Toledo OH bur.28 Mar 1911 Lakeview

[The death record for Robert John Corlett, (at the Beta site of Familysearch.org–Ohio Death Records) gives his parents as Elizabeth Sothard and John Corlett. Died March 24, 1917, Washington Township, Lucas County. Born Toledo.

Ancestry.com has a passport application for him, dated 7 Jan 1864. Gives his age as 43, birthdate as 14 Oct 1840 (which more or less places the marriage date of his parents, and also the death date of George Bevins)

He is listed in the 1900 census of Cleveland 19th ward, with “brother” George W. Corlett and Clara. This census gives his birthdate as October 1842, and states that he is a widower.

In 1910 Robert J. Corlett (I think–the entry is very smudged out) is listed in Lucas County, Washington Township, with William Bevins, age 78. Nearby are various Southards.]

I believe the 1911 death is correct. I saw his gravestone in Cleveland - "1840-1911" Grave Stone Inscription 22 Mar 1997 TCD - which helps to confirm the passport application. Here he is with his mother in 1850:

[Found their immigration in 1832, on the ship Andromeda. George, Elizabeth, William. Also with them, the family of James H. “Southwood” and wife Mary.]

Nice. Good job.

[Wondering how Daniel Corlett from Cleveland met up with Elizabeth Southard from Toledo, unless there was some sort of relationship between Daniel and Elizabeth's Corlett husband...]

According to jcf Daniel & Elizabeth married in Toledo and there were many family ties back to Toledo. Elizabeth's grandson, Forest Snow Corlett, ashes in a lake park near Toledo. See my Grave Yard page ht tp://tdaustin.com/manx/2_gyc.html

[I have been wondering about the Corlett connection in Toledo, as there are two Corlett families in the 1840 census there: Thomas and Robert. (Alas no John Corlett who could have married Elizabeth Southard and fathered Robert John.

There is a William Corlett, born Toledo, September 19, 1839 and died in Waterville (Lucas County) December 23, 1923 buried in Forest Cemetery Toledo. Parents given as Thomas and Anna Corlett. (This William married Clara Boyer)

An obituary of William Corlett (I think on the Findagrave site) gives William Corlett’s daughter as Mrs. J. S. Draper of Toledo, and gives William’s siblings as Frank Corlett of Kansas City MO and Louisa Corlett of Toledo.]

Thanks very much Lois. Lots of good leads to follow, Tim
