Henrietta Stevens nee Curwen

Thank you Monica I see it.

William's reference to the article (great find  ) actually states that Mary Ann Curwen was a widow by the time of her death in 1902. She also showed as widow on that likely 1901 entry. So possible death for husband Thomas, assuming it is him in 1891, would be 1891-1901 it seems.

It is confusing isn't it.  She is definitely shown as a widow in 1891. 

Great pity husband and wife are never shown together on any census.

Wonder which Thomas Curwen this was?

find a grave site Whitehaven has a TC 27 Apr 1902 born 1851 coal miner house 21

place of death Swingpump Lane.

No forget all that he was married to a Sarah in 1901.

Having said that if you look at the census for that Thomas isn't there another Thomas Curwen further down at no 21?  Doesn't make sense to me his entry.  Maybe someone could have a look.

Just posting this now for Mary Ann Johnston and possible early censuses for her with her family:

1861 www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M7P9-SP7

1871 I can't find on FS  But see below:

Henry Johnston 65 widower joiner b. Scotland
David Johnston 20 iron miner
Mary A Johnston 17 domestic servant
William Johnston 15 iron miner
Elizabeth Johnston 12

Family living at Moor Row (or Roe?)

Added: Just thinking... Thomas and Mary Ann, possible first born may have been John Henry and then daughter Henrietta for daughter. Then we possibly have Mary Ann's father showing as Henry BUT these are just guesses without having seen any registrations

The newspaper article re death of Mary Ann Curwen is dated 5 April 1902.

According to a living relative Henrietta was of an Indian / French Canadian background and was of an ethnic colour ( would make sense as my dad and his father William Stevens and my late uncle were all of darker skin colour ) but I can’t see how if the family weren’t from there ? Most bizarre x

If Henrietta's father was not Thomas Curwen then perhaps that is the link.

This is a recent picture found of Henrietta and my late uncle I would love to find her origin x
