George Cree and Jane Cree Line 23b

I notice that there is no death date on Line 23b for Jane Cree.  She died on 26 September 1918 and is buried in the same grave as her husband George (1851-1932) and her son Arthur (1891-1914) in Belfast City Cemetery - Grave No J1 167.

Jane's age at death was given as 65 which would give her a birth date around 1853.

Their last address is given as Suffolk, Dunmurry, Belfast.

Welcome to all the new members of the Cree Network

The male Cree who have undertaken the DNA test have allowed us to prove that many previously unconnected Cree lines are indeed directly related and many…

During my visit to Ireland last month I managed to copy all the Cree entries from the birth and marriage indexes at  the General Register Office, Belfast (GRONI), which took me almost two full 6-hour days.

Jane cree circa 1850

I am looking for any information I can find on Jane Cree, my great grandmother. She was a mormon pioneer and lived in Utah around 1850. She married a man named David Hickman. She was the mother of Ada John, my maternal grandmother that died shortly after my mother was born so I never knew her. My mother was Maurine Hickman who was born in Ogden, Utah in 1917.

Any member can create a new discussion within any of these Forums, as well as being able to post a reply to others' postings. I hope this will eventually make things clearer even though past postings now show as posted by me. I have added to those a first line stating…
