HI
Thank you for your very nice message which I have just read and will now dig out the old files  on my Kinchin relatives. I assume you have read the message from member Petur.  it's been quite a long time and I'm not sure if I had any further contact with him as I have not been active on site due to serious medical issues from July 2020 through to my latest bout Feb.2024.

I am now sending Petur a PM. and hope he is still looking for family history news. I do appreciate your info on the four Kinchin girls resident in the school in Poole Dorset. I am quite amazed at the age of the girl's we were led to believe  they were all very young almost babies,and their father was serving in WW1, their mother died about 1919 and an older sister Alice Marian Kinchin was in the house with her younger sisters. Alice Marian became my mother in law when she married Wm Charles Bosward in 1925 London.

Are you located in Poole Dorset  as I have another research of Bosward families living there who later emigrated to Australia.  it's also quite a mix up of family history If you would be so good as to reply I will forward some query in hope you could help me  sort it all out, Thank you.

Kind regards

Jane.

   HI Petur.

WOW how very nice to hear from you I just opened my computer  to read your info. I have not had much luck finding the Kinchin family of my late mother in law. I do have details of some thanks to help from our RC, members.

What I am looking for is more details of the mother of these girls I have her death date but would love to find her gravesite. I do have Alfred Hugh he is buried beside my in laws in Hendon Cem.
 Also what happened to the 3 little girls who were in the home in Poole,Dorset We did find some records of a Bosward family living in Poole Dorset in early 1925.  but I have'nt been able to connect them to my late husband's family

I would appreciate hearing your history of connection to the Kinchin;s and my late husband Bosward family  if anything is known to you as you say you have lived in UK for many years,
We are located in Ontario Canada since the early 1950's I can correspond in a personal message
by email if you prefer. it would be great to add your family line to the others in the tree.

Kind regards;

Janey

What is the last census you have Elizabeth on?

Have you checked marriages in the area she was living?

Hi   

Thank you very much for your helpful reply. If I remember correct the last census I found Elizabeth on was 1891 Bridgeton I ;m sure she was still with her granmother and aunts,uncles. quite a few of who never seemed to have married.
I did find a brother James Kirkpatrick who married still lived in Bridgeton.Checked out and wasted a few credits on S/P for Elizabeth Connor but not found with parents William & Jane Kirkpatrick
so still looking and appreciate all the help received from R/C members

Kind regards;
Jane

 HI Everyone

I'm back  again asking for your help with this family of Irish weavers in the Stocking Hosiery trade.
I did ask for help to find one daughter who died and you  came through as always I was able to read the newspaper article but have had no luck finding what happened to the guilty party the husband.

Now I'm asking for help to find the children, I did find the boy John Connor who married lived in a
few places Bonhill.Rutherglen Prestwick he was a carpet designer and family emigrated to NY.USA in 1928 I found them and have a nice contact with his family.

I'm looking for the two sisters Elizabeth Connor born 11Dec.1865  at 22 Kerr St Bridgeton  Mary Connor born 14 June 1871 318 London Rd. Bridgeton  after their mother died they lived with their Kirkpatrick granmother Agnes  and aunt & uncles. I found  Mary Connor on 1901 Census age 29
'Neice' occ; Dressmaker  no sign of Elizabeth Connor.  address 78 Muslin St Bridgeton I have searched many names on S/P still no luck   Any help or ideas gratefully appreciated.

Is there another Scotland census  available after 1901 

Thanks a bunch

Jane.

HI Monica 

WOW,,,this is wonderful of you to find the newspaper stories about WilliamConnor.  Is there a website for those newspaper articles I could get a copy   my Connor 'rellies' would be over the moon to see that William was charged  as when they came over to USA they changed the name spelling to Conner
hoping to distance themselves from him, they still use the 'Conner' name today.

Can't thank you enough Monica you always come through for me.

Cheer all the best.

Jane.
