James Joseph Dimond
My maternal grandfather's name is James Joseph Dimond.I have searched many years and have never found him.
He was born in MI about 1895, says "Alphrua" on my Mother's birth certificate.Is possibly "Alpena."Can't find anyone in the census.
He m. my grandmother, Grace Elizabeth McClelland about 1920, don't know where the marriage took place, but they lived in Belleville, or Newark, NJ.My Mother was born in Belleville. As far as I know, there was one other child, a boy, who died of burns from a fire, at age four.
James died suddenly in about 1925 or 1926 in some kind of accident in NJ.My Mother is not forthcoming on the subject, so no info there. I believe he is buried somewhere in NJ.
Grace m. Reginald Richardson about 1926 - they had four sons, James (d. age 6), John, George and William.There were twin girls who died at birth.
Grace's parents were William McClelland and Bernadine Winier.She had four younger siblings. One brother.
I would be grateful for any information on this family.
Thank you,
Ceci
