So interested in what you told me. Was very touched that Emily had remembered us in her will but no household linen, jewellery or a legacy on my 21st ever reached us! Nor did any share of the money of William Henry!
Annie and Charles' marriage certificate does not state whether George was living or dead. I had assumed ( shouldn't assume too much!) George was alive as there was no mention of being deceased but know that Charles' father Joseph died in 1898 and there is no mention of him being deceased. I found the same people missing on the 1901 census and couldn't trace Emily anywhere. Do you know where she was in1901? After a lot of searching was overjoyed to find Annie Woods in 1901 as a cook/ domestic at the house of Jemima Doyal in Cheltenham. In the same household was a servant, Charles Turney! Such a find as I'd been searching for ages for Charles Quiney's whereabouts in 1901.
Am puzzled by anomalies of Annie's birth too. Realise "Alice's" birthday is one day later than Annie's. Couldn't make any progress here and did wonder too about a twin or non registration. Interesting that was the case with Robert.
Will be very happy to fill you in on Annie's life as my research on her husband has been very fruitful and she lived with us, after his death, until 1964. Not able to find out though how she "appeared" in Cheltenham and can't find any reference to her in Glasgow with the rest of the family. Do you know what prompted the move to Glasgow around 1901? And I can obviously bring you up to date with her family from then on! Will use Personal Messages for this.
I seem to recall my grandmother mentioning Isaac but whether she ever saw him on her visits to Scotland, I don't know. I can remember her well into old age making the journey to Ayr to see Emily and Sam - she was so fond of both of them. Do you know if they had a family?
Looking forward to continuing this conversation.
Keep warm!
