Find Ancestors

Thankyou fir that last message argyle gran. Appreciate it, only just seen this. Thankyou x :-)

Just to add (I got a bit carried away with this!):

The sister with the unreadable name in that 1912 travel record in my last post was his married sister Lavinia Courville:

Lavinia Patchett Barnes
in the Massachusetts, U.S., Marriage Records, 1840-1915
Name: Lavinia Patchett Barnes
Age: 24
Birth Year: abt 1874
Birth Place: England
Marriage Date: 17 Jan 1898
Marriage Place: Fall River, Massachusetts, USA
Father: Benjamin Patchett Barnes
Mother: Margaret Knowles
Spouse: Henry Courville

They're living in Division Street (though not 119 ) in 1900.
They're at 1919 in 1911,

Lavinia's previous marriage:

Lavinia Packett
in the Massachusetts, U.S., Marriage Records, 1840-1915
Name: Lavinia Packett
Age: 17
Birth Year: abt 1874
Birth Place: England
Marriage Date: 5 Mar 1891
Marriage Place: Fall River, Massachusetts, USA
Father: Benjamin Packett
Mother: Margaret Packett
Spouse: John W Barnes

Manasseh's sister Edna married Cornelius Cropper in 1880 in Burnley.
Edna and Cornelius seem to have separated. They're together in 1881, but by 1901 the woman listed as his wife is called Emily , and in 1911 she's Elizabeth Anne.

Edna went to Canada in 1883, and remarried in Hyde Park, Massachusetts in 1895, to Frank St John, but I don't see her after that.
Edna & Cornelius's daughter Mary Elizabeth married her cousin James Mackwell in Fall River in 1910.

James was a son of Edna's sister Mary (Mary was born Knowles, before their mother's marriage), who married Eli Mackwell in Burnley in 1876.

Mary and another son, Ben, went to Fall River in 1911, presumably to visit her now married son James.
They were going to stay with Lavinia at 119 Division Street.

Mary isn't with Eli in 1921, and he's listed as a widower in 1939, but I don't see Mary's death 1911-21 - unless it's this one with a new middle initial:

Deaths Dec 1913 (>99%)
Mackwell Mary E 57 Burnley 8e 367



Ben was a baker, and still unmarried in 1943, when he travelled to Alaska, having been living in Vancouver, with Canadian nationality.

But maybe you know all that already!
