Hello Gladys,
This could all be cooincidence BUT:- On the 1910 census for John and Isabella in Seattle Ward 3, King, Washington.
John Rees 40 John says he immigrated 1881 - probably 2 May 1881 on the HELVETIA
Isabella Rees 34
Mary A Rees 20
James Rees 30 Brother was born 1880 - a 6 month old James was on the HELVETIA same date. Also a passenger record for 10 Jan 1910 which could be James coming to visit. Mother Mrs Anna Rees of High Street. Newbridge. Monmouthshire
Arvil Rees 8 Nephew. This is a nephew born in Washington - should be Orvil
This is Orvil Rees 1930 in Seattle, King, Washington.
Orvil W Rees 29 Truckdriver.
Susan Rees 27 Born Ohio
William Rees 55 Born 1875 Wales. Widow. Naturalized 1895. Engineer.
William Rees was also on the HELVETIA on 2 May 1881.
Also travelling 2 May 1881 were Anna aged 34 years. Jane aged 59 years and more children Rosanna Rees age 3 year. Isaac Rees aged 4 years. There is an Isaac Rees married to Bertha and with a son Harold in Washington 1900 that fits the bill for him.
Regards ;D ;D

Hello dettori28, what a lovely surprise getting all of this info which i am over the moon with and that is them. The death for Isabella Rees daur of William Heron and Jane Dowey, on the marriage i have for William Heron is Jane Henderson and on three birth certificates i have two has the father William Heron is right enough William Heron and mother Jane Dowey the other certificate has William Heron and Jane Henderson so am trying to figure out where the mother inlaw Mary Dowey comes in. I got some census from rootschat a while ago with census and the Dowey name keeps appearing, must fit in some where. I appreciate you sending the immigration and the 1871 census for John Rees and his parents name also the death for Isabella Rees and James Rees. Its really great. :) Thanks very much. Regards Gladys. :)

Enjoyed looking for it all Gladys, filled a gloomy wet Saturday (thankfully, the snow has gone!)
PM me if you want any of the scans sent.
www.castlegarden.org - put the name Rees in and see the list that comes up for 2 May 1881.
pilot.familysearch.org had the death info and some census info I think.
Regards.

So Mary Henderson (unmarried) had a daughter Jane Henderson in Dec 1852 10b 61 Newcastle Upon Tyne.
Mary Henderson then married John Dowey in Dec 1863 Tynemouth 10 b 211
Jane Henderson married William Heron Sept 1871 Newcatle Upon Tyne 10b 141. Isabella seems to be Jane's illegitmate daughter before she married William Heron. Isabella is with John and Mary Dowey on the 1871 census
So Jane Henderson on the census used her step-fathers name but was married under her correct birth name and alternated that name on the childrens birth certificates - hence the two names of Henderson and Dowey. Then the Dowey's emmigrated 1883.
So Mary Dowey on the 1900 census is the grandmother of Isabella.
I noticed on the SS Majestic 1st June 1898 Liverpool - arrives New York 8 June 1898. Grandmother was going to her son-in-law William Heron Roslyn. St Kittitas. Washington. ;D ;D

Hello dettori28, That makes a lot of sense now only i have a marriage sent from rootschat 1853 Dec 3rd for Mary Henderson and John Dowey as you have 1863 in Dec maybe you hit the wrong key number there. Another thing is on Janes marriage she says her father was Thomas Henderson a Joiner, in the 1881 census in East Denton Thomas Henderson a Joiner born Ovingham same in 1871 census with Jane Henderson daur born Newburn age 19 in 1881 census. Its a jig saw puzzle isn`t it. Sorry i never got straight back to you. Regards Gladys. :)

Sorry Gladys - that should have been 1853 on the Mary Henderson - John Dowey marriage. I was flicking bwteen the birth, marriage and census records trying to get the picture of what had been happening. The names Dowey/Henderson seem to fit Jane. She married William Heron in 1871 so could'nt be the Jane on the 1881 with Thomas and Elizabeth Henderson. It would seem Jane was Mary Henderson's illegimate daughter, so perhaps her mother told her that her father was Thomas Henderson - a joiner !!! Would have to refresh my memory but Jane and William Heron already had other children by that date ?
Certainly a complicated one. ;D ;D

http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch - Isabelle Rees. Tried to put the link in above - think it works okay.
Sent John Rees and family scan on the Helvetia
-
Hi dettori28, thank you very much for this which i got on that site and saw John Rees but haven`t got the scan image from you yet.
Its just came in my head that Jane Henderson who married William Heron was living in Blyth in 1881 census so the other Jane Henderson could not be her living with Thomas and Elizabeth. as you said. So now i am sorted out at last. ;D I have appreciated your help. Regards Gladys. :)
-
Sent again Gladys - hope you receive.
Glad the confusion over Jane is sorted - was complicated to follow.
;D ;D
-
Hello dettori28, i haven`t recieved the scan but i had another go at printing the immigration record and it printed out this time :) I do thank you very much for your kind help.
Regards Gladys. :)

Hello, Gladys,
I have tried to reach you earlier, but because I am new to this, I was told I needed to repost. I do NOT know the date of John Rees' immigration, but what I do know is that he was in Sangamon County, Illinois, (most likely the small town of Dawson) in the late 1800's. He married Isabell (or Isabella) Heron. John Rees and my great-grandfather's brother, Franklin Squire Baugh, married sisters. Franklin's wife's name was Mary Heron. Mary and Franklin ended up in Kittitas County about 1896. She died there after having a child, William Baugh. In the 1900 census, Frank Baugh and his son, William, are living with John Rees and Isabella. I have also noticed that in Kittitas are families with the surname of Kitchen. This was a VERY common surname in the Dawson, Illinois area. It is my belief that John Rees, Franklin Baugh, and Kitchen family members all immigrated to Washington state from Illinois in the mid 1890's. Also, Franklin Baugh's sister-in-law, the wife of my great-grandfather, had the maiden name of Rees!!!!! I know John Rees and my great-grandmother, Delilah Rees Baugh were NOT siblings, but I have to assume they were related. I have been trying for some time to find the connection. Hopefully we can help each other.
