Goldfoot Marriage Certificate from Ireland
My grandfather had spoken to my grandmother, Hattie (Zlotta) of his first marriage that was short and fruitless. We never knew who or where this marriage took place. A fellow relation, found on 23 &;Me, discovered my grandfather listed on familysearch getting married, so I very excitedly sent for the information to Ireland.
Here it is as it just arrived.
For the first time we find out that Nathan Goldfoot had a middle name: Abraham.
He lived at 13 Arbutus Place, S.C. R. (South Circular Road), and it looks like this happened in Dublin, Ireland.
He married in the Registrar's Office in Dublin on February 21, 1893 to Lena Goldberg who lived at 38 Warren Street.
Nathan was a com traveller (commercial traveler) You had to have a license to be a peddler. His father was Morris Goldfoot who was deceased. He had been a distiller.
Lena Goldberg's father was Naftolee Goldberg and was also deceased and had been a cap maker. The amazing part of all this is that my father, the 2nd boy, was named Moshe (or Morris in English). The 3rd boy was named Abraham.)
They married in the Registrar's Office in Dublin. A Leah Goldberg was a witness for Lena. B Leuy (maybe Levy?) was a witness for Nathan. The registrar was Thos W. Bowles. Both had to sign with an X as they must have been illiterate, at least in English. Interesting that instead of giving their age at the time of marriage, the license only said FULL.
Something happened to this marriage as the next time Nathan is seen is at the Londonderry Port in Dublin on the ship Parisian on August 14, 1893 heading for Quebec with a ticket that said he was to get off at Winnipeg. Now Winnipeg is just north of North Dakota, so how he ever worked his way over to Council, Idaho would had to have been by train, I would think by 1905.
On the LDS list I found a Lina Goldfoot on the Canada Passenger List of 1881 to 1922.. She was born in 1862 in Ireland. She's 9 years older than Nathan. She immigrated in January 1894 for Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada and was 32 years old then. She was on the ship, Mongolian. Could this be the same Lina? Did Nathan go to Halifax, then? This is a distance of 2,174 miles or 1 day and 13 hours by driving. Nova Scotia is way over on the east coast.
