Title: Breeds - to AMERICA
Post by: twink on Sunday 25 April 04 01:52 BST (UK)

Looking for any information on a ALICE MAY BREEDS who was born 1890 in Sussex.
Apparently she went off to California and started a school there......

Thanks

Also HARRIETT BREEDS (Nee WILLIS)

Apparently she recieved a gift of deed to some property in NY and left her husband and children to go there.....

Here eldest son was born about 1877 - so would have been after this.

She was born about 1830.

Thanks

Hi Twink
Think this is your Alice, on the 1901 UK census.
(http://imageservice.ancestry.com/iexec/image.x?f=getimage&dbid=7814&iid=SSXRG13_862_865-0792&mac=00632216099766754474rmf79hRx7Co=&vx=294&vy=0&vw=842&vh=632&zp=25&sw=0&sh=0&qf=mc&rc=)

She does not show up on the 1920, nor 1930 US census.
Also does not appear on Ellis Island Records which are available through 1924.

I found on California Death Index
BREEDS, Alice Maryy, b 26 May, 1890, Death Date: 20 March 1978.
Place of Birth: Other country.  Place of death: Sacramento, CA
Social Security # 571-44-8353.  Lots of coincidences, but could be her.

Regards,
Grub

Hi Grub

That CA Death for an ALICE MARY BREEDS would fit.  I know her birth was registered in AMJ 1890.

Many thanks for looking.

As for HARRIETT BREEDS - I believe my Grandfather tried to 'find' her and information on this supposed gift of deed but didn't have any luck.

Regards
