Occupation of 18 Carmelite Road Coventry, Wife of John Gullick Labourer Machine Tool Works (Retired)

Well did Alice Lavinia White return to birth name Violet Alice White ???

death
Violet A Gullick 68y Jun Q 1953 Coventry 9c 684

seems to have lost 5y but that would depend on who reported the death knowing correct age
but she did return to Coventry where she married 1st !!!!!

she may well never have known who her father was. being young when family broke up

may have sorted the child of Robert and Mary Ann White -- indexed as Allen Robert -
son but a daughter she is Violet Alice -- if you look closer -- born Jun Q 1879 Westminster.

1891 census Lingfield Surrey

Edmund Lone [Love] 28 Dairyman born London
Florence M Lone[Love] 22 ----- Oxfordshire Thackley
Violet A White 12 - visitor ----------------- London " Starch " Green ??

1901 still with Edmund Love who is a Wdr now --- in Lingfield
Violet White 22y - visitor [ long visit] ----- London

if Alice L was Violet A White -- still cant pinpoint her death as Gullick ???

Mavis Report 13 Oct 2012 14:46



that came from Dover Express Friday 1st November 1929

Dont know what happened to the Robert and Mary Ann White after 1881 Census

as I cant read the names for the children after Lily Rosabel not sure who is who?

if Alice grew up without Robert as a father she may not have known who it was or perhaps Mother Mary Ann Keyton / Keeton took up with or married some one else-- As I said earlier I have only found Lily in Honiton Devon from the fact that she married there.

Candis have you got the Marriage for Alice to John Gullick yet ? you may have a different name for her death perhaps thats why we hav'nt found her birth yet -- she may have changed her christian name / names.

Divorce papers are due any day now.

Many thanks

Have been trying to find Robert and Mary Ann White in 1891 census - no luck - chance they may have had an Alice born after June 1881 ??

Would some one else like to try ???

unable to work out the names of the 2 after Lily - not what they are indexed as.
the last one is Sarah Louise not Sarah Susan

I have found Lily White [ Lilly Rosabel ] in Devon but none of the others

Have worked out that Robert and Mary Ann are not married - I believe Mary Ann's surname was Keyton.
