charles stavely canada 1896

anneelaine, I am very confused.

Why have you all of a sudden decided that this is the right Charles Staveley?

We don't actually know what regiment the Charles Staveley who went to Canada was in, so we don't know whether he too might have been in the Yorkshire regiment, for starters.

It seems very odd to me that we would completely ignore one of the few things your mother was told -- that her father was from Canada and wanted to take her to Canada -- and pick another Charles Staveley who doesn't seem to fit that.

Unless he too went to Canada.


Can you tell us about Annie please -- her parents' names?

And if you want to tell us -- her husband's name if she married?

(this can help figure out where she was during WWI and so how she might have met her charles)

[anneelaine]

I think she would have meet Charles in Chester there is a army base here called the dale.
her father was call william passed away in 1908
thanks A

The military record for Charles mentioned just above has his signature in, I think, 3 places and this could be used to compare with the writing on the back of the picture.

So anneelaine

... since Annie's father was not living in 1911

 ... it is her mother's name that is needed ...


Looks like the Yorkshire guy may be him and the Canada guy a pure coincidence, I guess.

I would still just like to locate Annie to know a bit more about her.

[anneelaine]

 I think her name was Margret nee sankey
i got her name somewere will look for it

[anneelaine]

I think they told her Canada to stop her looking for him.

Another bit of information concerning Charles Staveley.

His attestation papers indicated that he joined in Scarborough.

Found on A****y the following

England & Wales Death Index 1916-2006
Record for Charles Staveley
DOB 1 Dec 1896 District Scarborough Vol 2 Page 2159
DOD 1981 84 years

I think this is him.... need to check for a marriage... if he married.

William Jones and Margaret Ann Sankey married in Chester in 1891.

He was born in Manchester. In 1901, the family is in Chester:

William 40
Margaret 40
Pollie 10 (real name Mary)
William 9
> Annie 7 (about 1893-4)
Fred 3

That's them?

So Chester, not Manchester. Margaret is still in Chester in 1911 but Annie is not with her.

Annie is in North Manchester in 1911 I think, though. A servant in the household of an Inspector of the RSPCA.

The Dale base in Chester would make sense it seems.

re the death in Scarborough

Yes -- and the only marriage I had thought possible was the one to Rhoda Barker in Scarborough in 1927.

There were two births to that marriage -- people who could posibly still be living.
