Henry Joseph Christmas was born, per the SSDI and the Florida Death Index, on November 12, 1909. I know that he was born somewhere in England, but no one seems to know precisely where.
I found this entry at Ancestry and I am hoping it might be the same person:
England & Wales, FreeBMD Birth Index: 1837-1983
about Henry Joseph Christmas
Name: Henry Joseph Christmas
Year of Registration: 1909
Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
District: Islington
County: Greater London, London, Middlesex
Volume: 1b
Page: 294
I have placed an order for a copy of the above birth certificate, but understand that it won't be filled for many weeks. In the meantime, I very much appreciate the opportunity to post what little I know in the hope that someone on the Christmas list can help.
Henry Joseph Christmas immigrated at some point in his life from England to Belleville, Ontario Province, Canada. He married sometime prior to 1940 to Ivy Gregg, born March 10 (or 11), 1911 who is said to have been born in Wales. Henry and Ivy had an adopted daughter named Marlene and two natural sons born in Canada named James Henry, born 1940, and Robert Sidney, born 1941 (both deceased).
The Henry Christmas family moved to the St. Petersburg area of Florida in the 1950s where their son, James Henry, married Arlene Moreau in 1962 and son Robert Sidney married Valerie Sargeant in 1964. Henry Joseph Christmas died in Pinellas County, Florida, in 1988, and his wife Ivy Gregg Christmas died there also in 1996.
Do any of these folks look even a little familiar to anyone?
Thanks,
Linda Murray
