I am trying to find information for another branch of my family however they live in the U.S.
I am looking for members of John Henry Heward and his wife Theresa[nee Nordquist ].
They had 6 children .
They were Jack,Elsie,Elmer,Helen and 2 others?
John was a miner and the family moved around a fair bit.
Some of the children were born in Idaho,Arizona and Nevada,they moved around alot due to Johns
occupation.
Apparently John remarried at some stage and had 3 more children Lawerence,Patricia and ?
Have a few tidbits but would love to hear anything no matter how small please and of any of the mentioned

I saw your post and I thought I might could help. This is what I have now: John Henry Heward Born 1862 Died - Oct 17, 1981 Wife: Helen Heward Born unknown Died April 8,1998. She has something of his in her casket. Both are buried in Winnemucca Cemetery in Humboldt County, Nevada. His find a grave memorial # is 92067986 and her's is 92067675.
I could not find Jack Heward or Elsie but I did find Elmer S. Heward Born 1893, Died 1973 Spouse: Edna Born 1900,- Died 1980. Both are buried in Mountain View Cemetery, Washoe County, Nevada. His find a grave memorial is 132894917

John Henry Heward is the illegitimate son of Nanny Heward Born 1842 she is the daughter of John Heward Born 1815 and Jane Tarn Heward born 1819 I believe they had 9 children. Nanny Heward born 1842, Johnthan Born 1844, - Elizabeth Born 1850, - John Heward Born 1853 - (Timothy's twin?)William Heward Born 1855 , - Ellen Heward Born 1857, Jane Born 1858, - Isabelle Born 1859, and Joseph Born 1860.

I found a Lawrence Raymond Heward Born April 20, 1927, and died Jan. 29, 2001 in the Evanston City Cemetery, Wyoming find a grave memorial # 40221282

That is all that I have found. I could not find Theresa Nordquist Heward, I did find 3 Theresa Nordquist but the 2 have the birth of 1903 and the other one is 1907. I could not find a Theresa Heward in the whole U.S. Let me know if you need any more help.

from 1920 census

Helen Blair 22 Married daughter (On the actual census where it states married / single etc
it just as a cross )

Gladys Blair 2 G/daughter (daughter of Helen it states b Nevada, father b Pennsylvania, mother born Montana.

Not sure if she is still married, a widow, separated or divorced.

I have not managed to find her in the 1930 census.
