Hi maureen,

Regarding Magaret, well i hope so, they are going to let me know!!

Also asked about WTW i think i have to say that WTW was married to Betty had a Amelia, then a fling with Sarah, Sarah had Eda, sarah and Eda then went and lived with John Donley and thats that.

I bet the Whittaker family don't know about it!!

They may if they ever read this thread Ups!

Nice to hear from you and Dea again, have a great weekend, hope Dea is feeling well.

Have a good weekend to you and Maureen and all the rest of you!! you know who you are!

I can't give up, can i!!

Speak soon

Simon Report 25 Nov 2009 14:01

Yes it's me again.

Can you all remember early on in the thread i said my mum had said sarah was married before and thought to be american or like!

Just a thought, the 1871 census has WTW living with wife betty and daughter amelia, also lodgers William Tetlow , brother of Betty and one of the others is a nephew who was born in the United States!!!

WTW is only showing on one census in 1871, no other years census has him and i can't find a birth or death!,?? is it possible he was from USA or like and came over for only a little while, how would we find this out.

Any help would be great.

As ever, kind regards Simon.

Hi Maureen,

Sorry, you did give me the birth, my fault that!.

So his wife was American! wonder if they all went back after 1871! or can we find Betty and Daughter Amelia after that date!!

You a star Maureen, well found, are you in the UK, i just noticed the NY.

Hi Simon,
I think Betty was UK born,no?? (from the census.) I'm pretty sure her name has been mistranscibed.
Yes,I'm in New York State. It's the day before American Thanksgiving here and I'm dashing between the kitchen and the computer,so my brain may be more scattered than normal.
I'll see if I can find some passenger lists for them.

Best,
Maureen

Hi,

Can't do much at the moment - still 'poorly' but I am keeping an eye on this and thought I would bring forward these
two posts as they are obviously relevant!

........................................................

Although I haven't found a marriage yet and I can't look until later (Grannie duties call!!), It would appear that the
Elizabeth on census with daughter Amelia was a TETLOW ??

Haven't had a chance to look at that census image but there are others in the household who could well be Tetlow's ?

Speak later,
