Jane Smith and Florence (Florrie) Barrett

[colaine]

In 1923 Jane and Florrie returned from their travels via New York heading for Leigh in Lancashire.
From then I have no idea what became of them.

Jane was the widow of Eldred Smith b 1879 son of Thomas Smith 1829 and Harriet (Calland) 1840 and Florrie was unmarried

They travelled with a friend Ernest J White b.1879 Leigh Lancs Who
 lived at 37 Vernon St. Pennington in Leigh in 1911

If anyone could tell me what became of them after 1923 .  I know that later they continued on their travels to Honolulu

Hoping someone can help me away from this Brick Wall

Thank you for your prompt reply
I don`t really know much about Mr White but on the ships manifest 1923  he was listed as Friend( in England)  to Jane and Florrie .
Not sure if he actually travelled with them. His address was listed as 32 The Avenue. LEIGH Lancs

Colaine - have you approximate date & place of birth for them?

You have the information ,yes ,but any one trying to help you does not,
so where do they start,without the basic information,
place and date of birth ,



for instance I was looking here
St Mary the Virgin Leigh
9th of March 1870
Eldred Smith
son of Thomas and Harriet
abode Pennington,
father a cotton manufacturor

so  am I correct in assuming this is the Eldred you mentioned

[Radcliff]

Ernest James White was a cashier


so possibly a person Eldred trusted as he is mentioned in his probate record

[Radcliff]

Do you know if Ernest James White was married


Ernest James White to Jane Alice Daniels,St Marys Leigh,
1907,


ammended you have this from the census

Thanks for the details - from searching I see there was a previous thread that has Florence going to Canada in 1924

With a name like Smith, there are numerous possibilities of re-marriage or death for Jane - you would need a lot of time & patience to work through them. Sorry!
