Isabel Somerville *1849 near Glasgow, Scotland The following info from New York City Marriage records at Family Search (giving name as Isabella, but matching parents' and spouse's names): marriage date, husband's age (23), estimated DOB, parents, own place of birth 10050 |
James Somerville Earl of Somerville? According to family oral history, JBM 10042 received a GBP 500 inheritance from her (great?) uncle, of whose existence she had been previously unaware, who had amassed a fortune (possibly by building an operating a toll bridge) and been made the Earl of Somerville late in his life. Neil Somerville points out that this is a different title from the Scottish Lord Somerville, but I haven't yet tracked down the Earl. I do not know why my grandfather labels James as Earl of Somerville. 10065 |
