Hello I am looking for any information od Sydney lawrence Lilywhite and his wife Jessie Wright Falconer. They died 1979 and 1980 in Omak Okanogan. They had two daughters Ada born 1916 and Sydney Margaret born 1919.
Any help would be really great
Thank you

What information are you seeking? Old history, or obituaries?

Sydney immigrated in June 1913 via Marcus, Washington. He was, 29, a gardener, traveling with a Charles William Airey, age 27. Sydney was from Chichester, his father James Lillywhite. Charles was from Penrith, England, his father David. Both enroute to Omak. Charles was enroute to his brother Thomas H. Airey in Omak. Sydney to his friend Thomas H. Airey. Sydney was 5 foot 7 1/2. Medium complexion, black hair, blue eyes. He had a scar on the side of his left eye. Both had landed in Quebec from England (typical crossing).

The World War One Draft Registration Card images show Sydney living at 3041 6th St, Seattle when he registered on Sep 12, 1918. He was married to Jessie Wright Lillywhite. He was born in Chichester, England on Sept 20, 1885.

1930 census-shows Sydney born in England, Jan in Scotland, immigration 1913, 1914, respectively. Children not shown in the 1930 census, which is a major question on why, or where were they.

Washington Birth Index shows Ada born on 9 August 1916, Sydney Margaret on 31 August 1919. Ada born in Okanogan to Sydney L Lillywhite and Jessie W. Falconer. Sydney in Seattle to Syd Lawrence Lillywhite and Janet W. Falconer. Were Jessie and Janet sisters or the same person with different names being used? I did no research into that , as you might already have it.

The 1920 census has Sydney and Jan W, in Seattle, both shown as immigrated in 1913. Sydney M is shown as being 4/10. Ada is not shown, again why?

Washington Death Index.
Sydney L. Lillywhite (2 "l's as shown), born about 1885, died on 22 April 1979. His Social Security Number 536-05-0750. His place of death was listed as Omak, his residence was listed as Omak.
Jan Lillywhite, born about 1887, died on 22 Oct 1980. Her Place of Death and Residence was identified as Okanogan. Her SSN was 536-05-0750...a duplication of the same number as Sydney, so one is wrong.

The Social Security Death Index:
Sidney (as spelled) Lillywhite, born 20 Sep 1884, SSN as identified above.
Jan Lillywhite, was born on 9 Jan 1890, SSN was 539-10-7261.

You can order their applications for their SSN's. It would identify where they were born, their parents, where they lived upon application, etc. This is good information if you don't know it already.

With the above death dates, try:
"http://www.secstate.wa.gov/library/ask.aspx" A free service of the WA State Library. They look for an hour and send the results.

But, what you need is a local person to obtain an obituary, look up local records, try:
"http://www.rootsweb.com/~waokanog/okanogan.htm"

Volunteers:
(Set to show Okanogan County):

You will also need a volunteer to check offline microfilm of the Washington Death Index for the two children (and Jessie?). The WA Death Index on Ancestry is not reliable, or complete for that matter.

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to me and the info. It does confirm the father of Sydney and I will have to look for the two girls. Jessie and Janet are one and the same it is not unusual in Scotland to have the two names.
Once more many thanks

Go to "http://www.digitalarchives.wa.gov/default.aspx"

Input last name of Lillywhite. Under Naturalization is the record info of Jessie and Sydney. The image is not available online, but you could order it.

The death records show Jan(et), Sydney and a "Lenore", born March 8, 1920. Died March 1986 in Kent, WA.

I've sent you the images of Sydney's entry into the US (2 images) and his World War I Draft Registration Card.

Hi-
From the obit index that the Wenatchee Area Genealogical Society maintains, there was an obit for Jan F Lillywhite in the Wenatchee World newspaper:

LILLYWHITE,Jan F, page 145, 1980 Wenatchee World

You can order a copy of the obit from that genealogical society for $5.

Here's a link to the top level of that obit index:

http://www.wags-web.org/obits.html

It's pretty handy because so it's common for people from Wenatchee up to Orville to post obits in the Wenatchee World.

Ann,
Since you're in another country, and I always say, never pay for genealogy help. Try the volunteers here in the Chelan County area:

Sid and Jan Lilywhite live next to me when I was growing up. The street was named Dewberry, at that time but is West River Road now. This is in Omak, WA. Sid worked at Biles and Coleman Lumber Mill and I do not remember Jan being employed. I did not know of any children but that does not mean they did not have any. They were nice people.

You need to search the Washington State Digital Archieves.
SIDNEY LILLYWHITE; DOB 09/20/1884; died April 1979 Omak, WA.
JAN LILLYWHITE: DOB 01/09/1890; died October 1980 Omak, WA.
They are buried in the Omak City Cemetery, you can find the record at Intermet.Net
