Hi list
It is time to repost my Coventrys .
Henry Coventry, Ohio, born England, son of Edward and Maria, Married Mary Elizabeth McGinn, Lansdowne, Orillia, daughter of John McGinn and Sarah Jane Cooke, June 15th 1886 in Orillia Ontario.
They immediately left for Ohio where I think Henry had a brother George.
The census of 1901 finds Mary E living with her recently widowed father John in Toronto and Henry is boarding close by.
They bought 85 McKenzie Cres ( no longer in existance) and Mar 15 1905, John McGinn died there.
In 1906, Henry and Mary E moved to Seattle Washington where they remained the rest of their lives.
Henry died in 1919 and Mary in 1949.
They had 2 daughters :
Vera Jesse who died at age 7-8 and Yvonne born 1898 in Seattle .Yvonne married Merritt Hurd of Seattle and they in turn had a son James (Jimmy) .
Jimmy married Nelda________?
Their children were Lee, Lonnie and Lynn, 2 boys and a girl .
I know nothing more about them but I would very much like to find Hurd cousins in Seattle area.
I strongly suspect that Henry was married before in Ohio.
Any connections out there?
Rob McGinn
