Once again I'm looking for some help with this Anderson family please. I am more than happy to purchase records, if any are found.
http://www.rootschat.com/links/01tra/As mentioned in #5 of this thread, the eldest child of William and Mary was Jessie born around 1880-1946. The query is really about who has signed their name and was present at her death.
Added: I've just noticed that Jessie is recorded at her death as aged 56 when she should in fact be 66.
I have Jessie in the 1881, 1891 & 1911 census. Can’t find her in the 1901 or the 1921 in Scotland or England.
On 1st June 1910 at 21 Lothian Road, Edinburgh she married Wright Sugden 1882-1924. He was born Salford, Manchester but appears to have then moved to London as a child. In the 1911c, he is lodging or renting with a family called Reynolds in West Hampstead and shown as married. Jessie is at her parent’s home at 49 Falcon Gardens, Morningside, Edinburgh and shown as married under 1 year.
There is a WW1 Medal Card for Wright on Ancestry, but I can’t find any other records. Wright died on 23rd January 1924 at the Hospital of St John & St Elizabeth in London aged 41. CoD 1. Lobar pneumonia 7 days 2. Heart Failure 2 days. Usual address is 22 Achilles Rd, West Hampstead. Present at the death is a G Anderson of 53 Mill Lane, West Hampstead. I have no idea if that was a medical person or possibly one of Jessie’s side.
The 1935 Evaluation Roll has Jessie as a Grocer with an address of 85 Albert Street, Leith, Edinburgh.
She died 2nd April 1946 at 53 Durham Square, Portobello. Present was a Mr Young, Nephew of the same address.
Could this be a child of sister Margaret and her husband 'John Walter Young' whom you found out so much about in the thread. I can’t find a likely birth in Scotland/England/Ontario but maybe someone else will have better luck.
Margaret may have been looking after a child in Edinburgh whilst her husband was serving in WW1 and I noted in the Army paperwork that he sent money to his Father in Law William Anderson. Was that to support a wife and child?
There is always the possibility that the nephew was from Jessie’s husband’s side I suppose.
Thanks in advance for any help.
