Find Ancestors

Keith, we know William isn't who you're looking for but the two ladies did go to work for him so tracking him might might connect us to Annie and Catherine - that's the way we do things! :-)

William isnt the person I am looking for, Catherine and Annie went to work for him, in the US 1920 census they are not with him.
Thanks for sending me the information,

Keith, I've had a good rummage and not turning anything up.

Only thing I can think of is if you can find Annie's actually date of birth could try searching death records by that.

I honestly dont know, but on the marriage of her mother Anne Rees, that is the way that it is spelt, her father is William Rees.

Annie left England on the 19 Jul 1911 on the ship Franconia, arriving Boston. She never returned to England and married in the USA, have two names...but not sure if the married name. Bengarth and Howser.. Spelling here could be Houser.

Keith, the reason I'm quibbling over the spelling is because if we can try to find Catherine then she may lead us to Annie so just want to check.

EDIT: Do you have a rough idea of when Grace might have been born? Can try 1930 census on a first name search.

The Rees I have spelt is on two marriage certificates for her sister Ann, who is my wife,s gr gr grandmother.
Also gives her father,s name as William Rees.
It is Malpas, I know of that area in Cheshire, as Ann was born in Chester, part of that area.
Catherine came to Southport and lived with a vicar and his wife, think that they lived in Linaker Street on the 2902 census.

Yes Keith, it does actually say Malfas !! and Southport as last dwelling.

What are your comments on the spelling? She does appear to be REECE on the English 1901 & 1911.

I know of her living in Southport in 1901 on the census, but had Malpas in Cheshire for her birth?

Just in case it helps find them, the Boston immigration record gives Annie's birthplace as Bootle.

Her aunt Catherine is named as REECE (not Rees) and was born c1862 in Southport.

Thanks and have changed the heading to include USA.
William Ashworth was the man that her and her auntie Catherine Rees went to work for.
Cant find her after that, but do know that she had two children, Grace and James. I met Grace, but need to find the marraige to get the second name and anything further?

?? Living on Beacon Street.
