Ivy was baptised at St Marks, Preston -31/1/1897 ( Parish Records ). Registered also in Lancashire BMD. Parents William Green 1869-1932 and Annie (Dwyer) born 1871 - Both Births in Preston.
Ivy was listed on the 1901 Census transcript as 4 years. The original census was hard to read could have been Ivy, Joy or Jay. In one birth record JaY was the transcription.
I can find no record of the family for 1911 Census and no other record of Iris.
Siblings are Elizabeth Ann - 1894, Ernest - 1904 and Olive 1907.
Any help would be appreciated - Thanks - Val

What more do you know of the family - there must be a link to make you interested in them? Is it possible they emigrated after 1907?
Where did William die in 1932?

William Green age 43 born England married 17 years he is a boarder in the house of John R Richards and family. He is a loom fixer in a Cotton Mill
Also In the house is an Annie Green 17 single born England a weaver in a Cotton Mill.
Added Is Annie Green actually his daughter Elizabeth Ann born 1894 ?
Did they go to New Bedford for a new life even though they still worked in Cotton Mills?
It would be interesting to find out if it was advertised in Preston.

There are a lot of William Green' in Preston, a William married to an Elizabeth had a daughter Ivy
in 1898.
You may need to get a birth certificate of the last KNOWN family member to get the right parents.

It was quite common for emigrants to head for places where there were known to be opportunities to carry on the same trade. Massachusetts had quite a few mill towns; I've followed one family to Fall River, which seemed to be full of Lancashire people. Have a look at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mill_towns_in_Massachusetts
There were agents in the UK dealing with emigration, and placing advertisements. I saw some such ads when I was browsing old copies of the Wigan Observer.
Of course once one emigrant was doing well, letters home would tempt others to join them. One of my relatives headed to Cape Breton three weeks after an article appeared in the local paper telling of men from another place in Lancashire heading "where coal mines are being developed". Very attractive in the 1902 slump.
I ended up with 4 gg aunts and a gg uncle settled there, and others visited.

Hello There,
Thanks to everyone for their replies. Sorry for the late reply, coming from Australia.
Will follow up all the information it looks first class.
Must have the wrong death for William.
Thanks again, now on the right track- too easy to get on the wrong one
Val :) :) :) :)

There is a death for Olive in Massachusetts - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:N44Q-C4V
This may be Ivy's marriage in 1922 - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:24CT-RQJ
If that's her marriage, this appears to be her death record - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:VPCB-FSN

Hello There,
Many Thanks for the information. They are my family.
Really sad to see that Olive died when her clothing caught fire/
I will follow through with Census forms for Ivy after marriage.
All the Best
Val
