Hi: My great-greatgrandfather is John Close born in Ireland, He came to the US with 2 Girls one to become my greatgranmother. They lived in the Albany-Schenectady area.
I know that they (John) had other children born in the US, but unable to locate them. Most of the Jess's and Close's are buried in Fishers Methodist Church Cemetery in Schenectady. You might try there for some names.

I am looking for more information on Alice Brearley born 20 FEB 1877 in Rochdale to John Thomas Brearley and Sarah Ann Taberner. She is my Great Grandmother and the last record we have of her is on the 1911 census, living with her husband Richard Shepherd Close and 2 children in Rochdale. The children, Dorothy Selina Close and my grandmother Marjorie May Close, grew up without their mother and my Grandmother never spoke of her. My mother seems to think she was a taboo subject! We have no idea what happened to her. My Mum has a feeling she was sent to a mental institution but she doesn't know why she thinks this. Was she or did she die/remarry/emigrate? I am at a complete brick wall and don't know where to look next. Can anyone help?!
