Thank you!   I really had no information on the Coatsworth side of the family at all.   Emma's brother Will according to 1906 Census was the Harbour Master in  Dysart Fyfe Scotland.  He married Margaret and had no children.   I have a picture of him, will have to find.   He died in 1935 in Sculcoates, Yorkshire East Riding England.

William, his father's first wife was   
     Sarah Grace Warn 1831 – 1864

    William Edwin Coatsworth 1851 – 1935
    Emma Jane Coatsworth 1853 – 1935
    Frances Eliza Coatsworth 1857 – 1907
    Sarah Grace Coatsworth 1864 – 1864

Spouse & Children

    Elizabeth Carter 1824 – 

The Laura  I think they are referring to maybe Emma daughter.    Emma was widowed young with a lot of children and she had to work. So some of the children went to relatives.   
I will follow up on your suggestions.   Thank you.

Laura followed her husband to Canada first.  Emma Jane with her daughter Emma and son Charles in 1912 and then Alfred James and his wife in 1920. 
Mary Ellen was given to relatives to raise after James died and she took on their surname Coatsworth.   She married Walter Low later in Scotland.
My grandfather was Charles  born 1896 who married Alice Weale and they had 11 children.  My father the eldest was named Lawrence Coatsworth Thornington.     

So indeed we are related.

RE   Coatsworth Family from Kent     Thank you for the information!     My father grandmother was from Maidstone Kent and she was Emma Coatsworth, daughter of William.    Emma emigrated to Canada in 1912 with my grandfather and two of his sisters.
