  • Looking for Anything On Phelps

    I'm sure you've all heard of William W. Phelps, the author of many LDS Hymns. I just found out my Great Grandmothers Name was phelps, I wonder if there's any link. Hellen Mary Phelps - Married to Albert Leroy LaDow, sorry that's all I know.

              right. Sons name is Chester Seley Ladow born 1914 but I've found other information saying 1915, and Died June 26 1991. Hellen and Albert have another son named John M Ladow.

              Chester Seley Ladow Married Stella Pearl Lore Mar. 30 1946
              Stella Lore born: Dec. 28 1919 Died: Nov. 10 2005

                      Is there any way you can find information on Hellen Mary Phelps from that census?

                          1910 us c..Year: 1910; Census Place: Claibourne, Union, Ohio; Roll: T624_1238; Page: 2B; Enumeration District: 153; Image: 52.


                          Milton W Ladow head age 46 barber with own shop.
                          Vinnie Ladow wife age 40
                          Carl Ladow age 23 telegraph operator on railway
                          Albert Ladow age 20 barber
                          Ruby Ladow age 18 seamstress in a factory
                          Maxwell Ladow age 9
                          Lottie Ladow age 5

                          I think the best thing to do is go into Ancestry and get a fortnights free trial, If you dont already have it and have a good look through. Theres lots of Ladow info on there Good luck with your research..

                            The 1930 census says Helen was born in Ohio, and so were both her parents. I would think the best thing to do next is to get her marriage certificate, as that will hopefully give you enough information to find out who her parents were, and then work back from there. As for whether you will find a connection with the person you mentioned at the beginning of the thread, I don't know!
