George Elbert Kingsley's relation to me

The last posting, http://kingsleyfamilytree.blogspot.com/2009/03/i-tried.html, was a brief show of support for Sean at http://congdonfamilies.blogspot.com/2009/03/george-elbert-kingsley-1854-1923.html. I think I would like to show my relationship to George Elbert and, further, his descendancy to me (as far as I have it and as far as they are no longer living...).

I, Donald Kingsley, am son to E. Daniel Kingsley (he has given his permission to be put on this post) who is still living. His father, Lester Smith Kingsley, died when I was less than a year old. His father, Ernest Daniel Kingsley, was born in Pittsford, NY, 20 May 1886, and died in Rochester in 1967 (email me if you need the date). Ernest was George Elbert's son.

The rest of this account is information that I have found, if it is incorrect please let me know how and why.

Reciprocally, George Elbert Kingsley had 3 Children- Ernest Daniel, George William, and Frances Mary. George William married Elsie Payne and Frances Mary married Hartley Thomas Payne... Elsie did extensive work on our genealogical line and I can get in contact with her line if needed. Ernest Daniel married Grace Smith, the grandaughter of an Irish immigrant on her father's side, but her parent's were married after 1880 and her mother died before 1900 so she is not on any census with Grace's father.

Ernest Daniel and Grace Smith had three children- Mary Anna Kingsley (3-5 Oct 1916), Charles Ernest Kingsley (Who married one Hazel Ewell, but I have no other info... If you need it, I will investigate that line), and Lester Smith Kingsley.

I will have individual posts for all these individuals but I wanted it posted so anyone who needed a tie in would have it. If this helps YOU, let me know how I can help.

I hope you do not mind if I utilize some of the info you have put up here. I will likely be in contact about references as is our tendency. There is a date in your post that you put in as 1980 and I believe you mean 1880.

Cheers!

You are welcome to use whatever you find, I have removed any details that would infringe upon personal privacy unless by permission. I will make the fix, thanks for noticing. Also, if you need any references for the data, you know I should be good for it.
