Looking for Joseph Overton

  and Susan nee Grafton  I have  found him on 1871 and 1881 Census living
with his parents in Leominster ,1891 and 1901 Census he disappears but turns
up in the  Old Priory Leominster in 1922 dying of   Malignant disease of the Liver NO PM
  , He was 65 years old  Agriculteral Labour  and his sister Annie Hudson nee Overton and christened  Susannah was the informant.

 to bring an update to my post on "elusive Joseph Overton"

I found he left Liverpool for Boston  on 2nd April 1896 on the CEPHALONIA
a 32 day voyage he travelled with another Labourer John Sankey both single.
All I have to do  now is find out  WHEN he returned to Leominster !!! and of course
what he was doing in Boston

Hi;
    just found that 1911 index for Joseph BUT Annie Lewis is not his sister. she was Susannah/. Annie Overton married Evan Hudson in 1901 he didn`t die  until 1912.On 1911 Census they are living in the village of LLanrye near Llandudno
and have three son`s. She was  still    HUDSON  in1922 when she was witness to JOSEPH`S  death at the  "Old Priory"Leominster  but then living at Penybont Road llandridod Wells
I think this Annie Lewis is the mother of at least two of JOHN Overton`s
Children. They lived praticaly next door to each other in Bargates throughout their childhood,she was Lewis then so don`t think she ever married.
John Overton Lewis is probably one child ,and Daisy Overton who was a brick wall for years is found in Wales with my Grandmother now named LEWIS!!!! on
the 1911 Census is probably the other
       Life is never dull with the Overton Family believe me .
