Arthur French
by Dona & Warren Windfeldt
Hello,
I am new on this particular list and am looking
for my g-g-grandfather, Arthur French. I live in
California, USA and on an Obituary in the newspaper
it was stated that he was born in Wales, and that his
elderly Mother still lived in New Brunswick, Canada.
He was killed in an accident on the Steamship Northerner
off of the coast of California when it hit a reef. The
date of the accident was January 5th 1860. The Obit
stated that he was 35 years of age and left a wife,
and three children. That would make him born in 1825.
I do not know what to look for there in Wales, do
you have any kind of records that early that would
give me information? I would like to know who his
parents were and perhaps it he had any siblings and
what their names were, just any information at all or
even a clue as to where to start.
Thank you for your kind consideration,
Dona Windfeldt
