Hi,

Thanks for writing...  From what I have been able to gather the families are not related, but this family of Dewdneys has proven to be remarkably difficult to sort out.  If I am ever able to provide a link, I'll post back here.

Thanks!

Canada Lookup Requests Completed / Re: Middleditch Family pre 1901 Census Listings
« on: Sunday 21 February 10 11:50 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all,

I recently came across this thread for the Middleditch family.  My great-grandmother's brother, Gordon Roy Conn, married Mabel Ellen Middleditch of Amherstberg in June 1912.  Although both were born in Ontario, they also lived in Detroit (small part of the world that - lots of too-ing and fro-ing over the boarder).

Gordon & Mabel are still married in 1917 when he registers for the US draft.  Also noted is that they have a child, whom we believe to be "Cousin Alice".  By the census 1920, Gordon & Mabel have parted.  He is living with his grandparent and she is living with one of her sisters and brothers-in-law and their two children.  There is no further mention of Alice.  Mabel is remarried before 1930.

I am on the hunt for cousin Alice...  Have you ever come across any mention of her in researching the family?

I appreciate your time.
Best regards,

Lili

WOW!  Thank you Stuart...  Wonderfully visual description.  If it is not too much trouble, I would love to see a picture too.

Many thanks, Lili

Thanks again for all the help on this one.  Found some more:

From the eleventh volume of the " Visitation of England and Wales " printed at Private Press, edited by Frederick Arthur Crisp, 1903, it is noted that:
“Rev. Jordayne Cave-Browne-Cave,born at Cliff Hall 17 February 1843, bapt. at Kingsbury 8 August 1844; Curate of Kilmington, co. Devon, and a Missionary of British Columbia 1862-70; died s.p. at 20 Wellesley Terrace, Belmont Road, St. Helier, Jersey, 12 December 1879. Will dated 6 October 1875, proved (Prin. Reg., 12, 80) 14 January 1880, by Charlotte Cave-Browne-Cave of 20 Wellesley Terrace, Belmont Road, St. Helier, Jersey, the relict, the sole Executrix.

Charlotte Dewdney, marr. at St. Mary's, Sapperton (by the Bishop of British Columbia, assisted by the Rev. E. Hayman), on Thursday, 5 December 1867. She marr. firstly Edward Wright of Penzance, co Cornwall.”

Can anyone tell me if 20 Wellesley Terrace on Belmont Road in St. Helier is still there?  Or what kind of a neighbourhood is was back in the 1870s?

Thanks,

Lili

Thank you Julie!

I really appreciate your help... I'll check NZ, but as other family members did later go to Australia and not NZ, it is likely the city that is wrong and not the country.  I have a letter into the genealogist who wrote of those letters... unfortunately its a decade plus since he wrote his book and this is very much a minor side family in the scheme of his study... got my fingers crossed.

Thanks again!

Hi Stewart!

Thank you!  I really appreciate the time you took to look at this for me.

It really helps with the time line... As Rachel Fryer was there until April of 1889, I can at least now determine that the sisters and their nephew were else where prior to that date.

Thank you again for your help.

Hi Carole.

Marriage and death certs have been ordered but while I was waiting, I thought I see if he rang bells for anyone.  I'm guessing that they lived in Devon and were down for a holiday...  Although I suspect December was a tad nippy for holiday makers...

Although we know that Charlotte later took a decade plus off her age, she would have been 35 when she married in 1862.  Edward could have been up to a decade younger and even twenty- or more years her senior... we just don't know yet.

Thanks, Lili
