Hi Cane, it says what you already know.

Tidings are required of Josiah Crook; last heard of in South America, Dec 4, 1890. He left manchester in Nov 1888 and worked on the Anglo-Chili Nitrate railway Co, Tocopilla, Chili (sic) as a blacksmith--- the enquirer is his daughter, Mary Elizabeth Crook 20, Canning Street, Woodward street, Ancoats, Manchester.

No mariecelestei was refering to the fact that if she would have married josiah's brother Richard.........i havce a peice of info some where that someone kindly found for me...but for the life of me tonight i acannot find it.....it is taken from a newspaper.stateing that Mary crook (josiah's daughter) is looking for her father and wants to know the where abts of himi ..it was 1889/91...if any one can find this info again for me that would be great thanks....

But if she was Josiah's widow and then married Richard, she would have been a Crook...

I see that in 1891 Richard is down as 'Uncle', could he be Josiah's brother?

But she wouldn't have been called Mary Crook when she married him?

thanks alviegal.....i couldnt find a marriage for mary crook to richard crook....

No sorry, not finding him at all. :-(

Mary and family in 1891.
