Individual Details
Harry Mathias Williamson
(4 May 1880 - Aft 1930)
Birth Certificate Research:
5 Mar 07
Searched Italian Genealogical Group for "H Williamson" between 1930 and 1950. One possible:
Williamson Harold 60 y Sept 4 1940 17884 Kings 1879 - 1880 --> This one is worth ordering Death Certificate for.
13 Feb 2007
Search Italian Genealogical Group death index (http://www.italiangen.org/NYCdeathsearch.asp). One possible record:
Name - Age - Date - Certificate No - County - Soundex Williamson Harry 69 y Nov 16 1932 22242 Kings W452
But this person seems to be 19 years too old (should be about 52 years old). Will research more before ordering.
A broader search results in
Williamson Harry L 55 y Feb 8 1936 1478 Bronx W452
This is more likely (but middle name is wrong). Wait on getting certificate. This is the wrong middle initial. Keep looking.
1910 U.S. Census Research:
Think he might be near where Theresa Hambst grew up because they live there after marriage. Of course, this is a pretty flimsy assumption.
Lived at 117 Park Ave in 1917. Look there.
117 Park Ave is on Page 4A (Ancestry.com Page 7) of ED 460 in Brooklyn in the 1910 Census. Harry M. Williamson was not enumerated there at that time.
21 Feb 2007 - Searched for Williamson in same ED as Hambst (Brooklyn Ward 28, Kings, New York; Roll: T624 _981; Page: 4A; Enumeration District: 886; Image: 658). Can't search by ED in 1910. No obvious results.
