New Bedford St John's Cemetery Lookup Needed

[Cindy D]

 

Does anyone have the St John's Cemetery Book for a lookup. I'm desperate. 

 

Joseph Sylvia/Silvia/daSilva.  Should have died in 1942 according to family, born Dec 1875 in St Miguel.

 

His wife....Margarita/Margaret/Margarida Silvia/Sylvia  nee Pimentel, died 1939 born in Flores.

 

If not, I had an address to someone I could write to at the cemetery but have mislaid it, does anyone have that information??

Sylvia/Pimentel

St. John's Cemetery records are online at findagrave.com.  It does list Joseph b. 1875 d. 1942.  I have the SJ cemetery book.  Joseph is buried in St. Francis Section of St. John's.  He is buried with Virginia 1879-1951 and Angelina Barboza 1901-1946. Not sure if this is the right one as no Margarida listed on stone.  On Findagrave.com you can request a photo of the stones and most times you will receive one.  Hope this helps.

There is another Joseph Sylvia buried in St. Anthony Section.  b. 1875 d. 1942.  The previous one I sent was b. 1872 and died 1945 so I think this one is probably the one you are looking for.  Call the cemetery, be very nice, and ask them to look for his record.  They can give you exact date of his death, etc.  I will try to find his wife's record.  According to this record, there is no other name on the stone.

There is a Margarida O. Sylvia but she was b. 1891 and died in 1979 buried in St. Jude Section. 

 

The book is a little difficult to go through as I have to go page by page as it is sorted by section and then by surname.

 

Also, by obtaining the exact date of death for Joseph from the cemetery, you can email the New Bedford Public Library and ask for an obituary.  I believe they now charge for this but it is minimal if memory serves me correctly.  Been a while since I ordered one from them.  In the meantime, I will check the Portuguese paper and see if I can find one there.

Cindy,

If you can get me the section & "Street name" they are in and the proper dates of birth & death, I can take a walk down there on Friday or Saturday and take some photos for you if you'd like. (I Can see the cemetery from my living room window!). St. John's is a huge place, and if you're not quite sure where your family members are, you can easily get lost.

Thanks Elaine

 

I'm pretty sure this is my g-grandpa.  He is born 1875 for sure, and I think this is the only Joseph/Jose Silvia/Silva/Syvlia that showed an 1875 birth.  So many Joes, so little time.  I have no clue when he died.  I was hoping to collect a death certificate but really need a death year to dig for that.  Whoever Virginia and Angelina are, I haven't a clue.  Or maybe this is a clue to family parts I don't know about.  I don't know much of anything about my Portuguese side.  I did see the posting of this on find-a-grave awhile back but I'm not SURE.  More than grave photo, I want death info. 

 

Can I write to St. John's for death info??  If I get a death date, then I can petition for a death certificate....can't I??

 

CindyD

[Cindy D]

Thanks Elaine....I don't think this is my gal.  She may be listed under Margaret.  I did see a Margaret T Silvia at find-a-grave and maybe that's her.  Except mine is a Margaret U Sylvia nee Pimentel (Flores).   I really need her death certificate because I need a court order to release her medical information and I have to have a birth and death date.....and SS#.  I don't think she ever held a job as she had some "emotional" issues so I don't think I'm going to get a SS#.  I also need a Bristol County lawyer to generate the court order.  Everything is hanging on getting a death date. 

 

Thank you for your Azorean Wisdom!

If you happen to come across a Joseph Silva born Mar 23.1874 let me know. I am looking for this last brother's death who died between 1936-1943 in Massachusettes

["E" Sharp]

Cindy,

 

You can call or write to the Cemetery and they will give you the death date especially because you have the location he is in at the cemetery and they like this.  If you are real nice to them, they are real nice in return.  They can give it to you right over the phone and also they can tell you if anyone else is buried with them.  You should be able to get a death certificate from New Bedford Vitals.  I think the cost is about $15 now.  My niece need her parent's marriage record when her mom passed away and she called Vitals and took the info over the phone plus her credit card number and she got it a few days later.  Here is the Cemetery info: 

St. John's Cemetery 664 Allen Street. New Bedford MA 02740

Ph:   (508) 992-1071

 

NB Vital Records, you can email her at:  Elizabet...@newbedford-ma.gov

Mail Addy and Phone No. City Clerks Office - 133 William St - Room 118 - New Bedford, MA 02740 - Tel: 508-979-1450 - Fax: 508-991-6225

 

You might also want to get his Obit from NB Public Library and they are online.  If you need any more help, just ask.

["E" Sharp]

Pam,

 

I will try to find your Joseph Silva.

[Pam Santos]

That would be great, I have spent enough on death certs that were not him already lol One relative said he was buried in Oak Grove Cemetery and he is not according to the cememtery. Not sure where he died possibly Fall River, New Bedford. He did live in Fairhaven and according to relatives he died probably in Bristol Co, MA His siblings are in St Patrick Cemetery

[pbr...@aol.com]

Cindy,

There is an obit for Jose Silva, whose widow is Margarida Pimentel Silva, on page 2 of the Dec. 15, 1942 edition of Diario de Noticias. Children are Mrs. Frederick D. Sherman, Mrs. Manuel Marchall, Mrs. Weldon Rhodes, Mrs. Jesse Hemman, Mrs. Frederick Johnson, Jose, George and Alfredo.

Elaine-
Ahhhh, this is good. I will need this information for a BUNCH of my
New Bedford family.

I always try to be very nice, very polite, very thankful when I'm so
desperate to connect with my ancestors. I feel like a miracle happens
when I find a clue or distant kin....I know you all know what I'm
talking about.

Patricia!!! OMG!!! THIS IS HIM!!! There's Aunt Annie, Aunt
Margaret, Georgie, Uncle Jessie and LOL, my grandpa Jose (we called
him Joe, everybody loved Joe!), and Uncle Alfred!!! The first and
last time I saw any of them was in 1967 at a funeral in Florida. We
had a ball at the funeral, what fun people! This is one of those
miracles that I mentioned earlier! Thank you so much!! OMG....can't
believe this! I can't wait to show my 85yr old mom!! And yep,
Margarida Pimentel Silva....that's my g-grandma. She was a troubled
soul and I want to know where she ended up. I thought she died before
her husband...apparently not. This might be troublesome as a lot of
the kids left New Bedford and perhaps she went to live with one of the
kids out of state. Arghhhh. I think Alfred's son still might live in
New Bedford. He and my mom are the last two of the whole clan. I
have ONE picture of the Portuguese side of my family and had hoped to
hook up with descendants to learn more about them all.

Thanks again Patricia, this is AWESOME!!

Pam,

7th Avenue Joseph Silva 1871-1938 buried with Adelaide, Antone G. Joseph G, Domingo, Jesse G.

A.L.S. Avenue Joseph M. Silva1873-1942 buried with Albert M. Evelyn, Anna J. Guilherminia

St. Cecelia Joseph Silva 1876-1941buried with Antonia.

[Pam Santos]

He wasn't married, i don't think any of those are him.

[Cindy D]

Cheryl...well I'm now VERY sure this is my g-grandfather now that I've gotten some details. If you get a nice day, I sure would like a picture of the final resting place of my g-grandparents.  He is in the St Anthony section, but I'll have to find the street for you.  The stone apparently names someone else as his wife....so now my curiosity is fired up.  Can anyone tell me how to find the street name of a burial at St. John's?

CindyD

[pbr...@aol.com]

Cindy,

If you call the cemetery (508-992-1079), give them his name, dates of birth and death, and the St. Anthony section, perhaps they could give you the street name.

Good luck!

Patricia
