Westbrook Lookup Volunteer - Martin E. Hollick (reference librarian at Harvard University)
I started doing genealogy about 20 years ago, because I was interested in the fact that most of my forebears were buried in Woodlawn Cemetery. I do work alot on computers as a reference librarian at Harvard University I own both Karen Ketover's books and would be glad to be an email link for people with questions for look ups.Although my mother was born in Westbrook, I have no colonial Westbrook ancestry. All my ancestors came there between 1850-1900 from New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Scotland, Ireland and New Hampshire. Here's a quick ahnentafel of my mother's ancestry:
1. Sharon Kate Pinkham 1940-
2. Clarence Melvin Pinkham 1912- (still living in Norridgewock, ME)
3. Agnes Elizabeth Pratt (Pinkham) (Caron) 1915-1972, first woman city clerk of Westbrook (actually the first woman official in Westbrook, I believe).
4. Burt Hale Pinkham 1881-1950 Dover, NH to Westbrook
5. Kate Kinmond 1885-1918 Scotland to Westbrook
6. Archibald Thompson Pratt 1888-1964
7. Lila Mae Quigley 1888-1959
8. George Hale Pinkham 1843-1888 of Dover, NH
9. Olive Ann Hurd 1851-1934 of Dover, NH
10. Ernest Fiddler Kinmond 1843-1904 Scotland to Westbrook
11. Catherine Baxter Young 1847-1931 Scotland to Westbrook
12. Joshua Thompson Pratt 1847-1913 Nova Scotia to Westbrook
13. Elizabeth Jane Marie Stack 1856-1926
14. John Quigley 1855-1929 New Brunswick to Westbrook
15. Agnes Jane Smith 1864-1930 New Brunswick to Westbrook
16-9. in New Hampshire
20. John Kinmond of Scotland
21. Marjory Milne Scotland to Westbrook
22-3. in Scotland
24. Samuel Pratt of Nova Scotia
25. Rebecca Denny Thompson 1819-1901 NS to Westbrook
26. Thomas F. Stack 1818-1899 Ireland to Westbrook
27. Abigail Cody 1820-1888 Ireland to Westbrook 28-??? in New Brunswick
