Ivy Green Born Preston, Lancashire in 1897
« on: Saturday 20 May 17 07:40 BST (UK) »
Ivy was  baptised at St Marks, Preston -31/1/1897 ( Parish Records ). Registered also in Lancashire BMD.  Parents William Green 1869-1932 and Annie (Dwyer) born 1871 - Both Births in Preston.
Ivy was listed on the 1901 Census transcript as 4 years. The original census was hard to read could have been Ivy, Joy or Jay. In one birth record JaY was the transcription.
I can find no record of the family for 1911 Census and no other record of Iris.
Siblings are Elizabeth Ann - 1894, Ernest - 1904 and Olive 1907.
Any help would be appreciated - Thanks - Val

1910 census Holly Street New Bedford Mass.
William Green age 43 born England married 17 years he is a boarder in the house of  John R Richards and family. He is a loom fixer in a Cotton Mill
Also In the house is an Annie Green 17 single born England a weaver in a Cotton Mill.
Added Is Annie Green actually his daughter Elizabeth Ann born 1894 ?

Did they go to New Bedford for a new life even though they still worked in Cotton Mills?
It would be interesting to find out if it was advertised in Preston.
