Posted this on the other thread (apologies for the double up):
Hi Kathy,
Elizabeth Graham (1893-1972) is one of the three legitimate daughters of Amelia Emilie and Thomas N. Jowitt. Her daughter Elva Dade wrote a book titled "And the women should not weep" which offers insight into 5 generations of family history. Elizabeth Graham is the sister of Alfred N. Jowitt. My mother shares Amelia Emilie as her Great Grandmother through her Father, Alfred Jowitt Jnr. The book intimates that George Nee (Uncle of Elizabeth Knee) was the Father of Amelia Emilie. At some point he changed his alias to his Great Grandfather's name "Joseph Albert Gorrick". Ultimately, he was buried under his alias' name.
Amelia Emile had Violet in 1879 to P.C. Gorrick(?) Unsure of his full name however the book suggests that Violet was reared by Elizabeth and William Trindall and Violet took on the Trindall name to protect her real Fathers profession as he could be struck off the legal register.
Only just started reading the book so will post again soon.
Regards,
Jason
