Florence Julia Howe DAVIES - Census

[Les09]

Hi Trish,
We are doing detailed research on the CURWOOD family name and had planned to order the marriage certificate of Julia CURWOOD until I found this thread which gave the necessary details. We only know of the one daughter, Florence Julia (or Isabel) Howe DAVIES, that has been listed here.
Please can you provide details, name-date-place, of the other two daughters - it will be very much appreciated.  Any futher information you have on the daughters of Julia DAVIES (nee CURWOOD) will also be gratefully received.

We have details of Julia's parents and 8 siblings if you are interested.

Regards, Les.

Hi Trish,

Thanks for the info.
In your email of 11th Aug, you asked "Were you aware that Thomas had three daughters by his second wife Julia Curwood?"
Florence was the first, who are the other two?

Also, you list the census entry 1871 Ashburton West street:-  "Rebecca Maria Davies 12 dau Newmarket Canada", she is enumerated as Rebecca Jane Davies".

Regards,
Les.

Hi, this is very muddling, I wasnt thinking straight.  Florence Isabel howe Davies was brought up by her step-cousin, which I find very strange, from the 1871 Census and for the rest of her life she lived with J Edith Hall nee Watts, who technically wasnt any relation.  In my head I believed that Edith & Florence were cousins and that Florence had sisters.  However the sisters turned out to be her step-sisters, who were all born in Canada.   I have so many Rebecca's and Agnes' I get muddled.
