Ruth and Florence Kingham

[RunKitty]

Unfortunately, it looks like Florence died young.  There is a death notice in the Toronto Star newspaper July 29, 1933, page 21.  Her first name is never used

It says that Mrs W. C. Milson (same spelling as in the 1911 census) died at the Toronto General Hospital, following surgery.  Her address was 350 Beresford Avenue.  She was a "lifelong resident of Toronto", an active member of St. Paul's Anglican Church, Runnymeade.  She was worthy mistress of St. Ann lodge of the L.O.B.A. , no. 416.  She was also a member of the Unity Chapter, Eastern Star, no 20.  She is survived by her husband William C. Milson, and 4 sons William John, Harley Alvin, Delbert Sidney and Kenneth Gordon.  She has one sister, Mrs Newman.  Everyone lives in Toronto...

Awe, a Milson descendant is looking for ancestry, but it is such an old thread, the email may be defunct  http://boards.ancestry.ca/surnames.milson/10/mb.ashx

Ruth Kingham ( also transcribed as Kinghan) Domestic   born July 15 1875 England age 25 says imm.1882

so the girls weren't that far apart in age then? ( as stated on arrival in Canada )

Oh, I see FreeBMD she was born 1872...baptised late.... But how can she be registered in June Quarter if born July?

1881 shows only a 6 years between them...What happened to George born in between???

Thank you J.J. I have seen the photograph and list of names only last week, That's how I found they had gone to Canada. Fascinating website.
I've been puzzling over some of the dates and ages especially for Ruth but I find they vary a little anyway.
On the 1881 census Ruth is down as being born in Codicote, another says Knebworth. George is down as Knebworth in the parish of Codicote. They are only 3 miles apart.
George is still a mystery where he is.
Thank you for all the replies, its certainly moved on a lot further.

Sandra. Thank you, Rachel Gower is Rachel Kingham daughter of William and Sarah. Again the born in Codicote then Welwyn. As you follow it through the census records.
Looks promising though.

Hi,

William Calvin Milson (husband of Florence) died in Toronto on Sept 25, 1936. 

There is a very short paragraph in the Toronto Star.  It says he was leaving his work on Hanna Avenue, and he collapsed and died from a heart attack.  He was 50 years old and his address had been 350 Beresford Road.  Coroner ruled death was from natural causes.

There is a very short death notice in the Globe and Mail too.  It says he was 54 years old and was the beloved husband of the late Florence.  Father of William, Harley, Delbert and Kenneth.  Burial at St. John's Norway cemetery.

The same notice from the Globe is also in the Markdale Standard.   You can see it here on page 1... near the bottom on the right of the page.  http://news.ourontario.ca/ghpl/1123467/data?n=4   Just click on the image of the paper on the right of this link, the select Page 1... and you should be able to find it.
