Hi Cindy,

Just a couple of questions. Do you know if they were married in Ireland? I find the surname House, also spelled Howse with several Mary,s in the period 1800 - 1900 in County Cork but no McLamb either baptised or married to a Mary House/Howes.Do you have a Maiden name for any of their mothers?
Do you know or have a record of their travel to the USA or the year of arrival.
I will help in any way I can but even a little extra information would help to trace them better. Frank Fahy

Cindy,

Just found the attached file below. It is the death Certificate of Julius McLamb in 1926 with the names of his father, mother and wife. Tragically, it appears that Julius was shot accidently at close range either by somebody else or by himself who had "drank heavily".

One little problem but probably what information was given by informant is that John K & Mary House are noted as being born in North Carolina. This means very little as the informant (Ozelia McLamb, Julius Wife) probably thought they were born there and did not know they were from Ireland.

I will continue to look for further information on the family for you.

Hi Cindy,

It might save me a lot of time researching if I knew your surname or maiden name if married as I have found quite a lot of info on the Baggett line but it may not be what you are looking for and especially if you already have research done on that side of the family. Also, are you only asking about the Irish part of the family or Ireland and the USA? Please let me know as soon as possible as I would like to help but not research information you are not looking for.
