Ethel Dreda Beatrice Washington Turner died 26 Mar 1910 Newport, Rhode Island.
This is unfortunately just before the census date. She was still in UK in 1901. Her father George Washington Turner was born in America in 1814, but was in UK until his death there also in 1910.
The death index has her address as 325 Spring Street, Newport, she was born in 1889 in Worcestershire , England.
Is there any chance that the other occupants can be found from the address. Relatives perhaps ?
Thank you.

Not sure how the addresses work on US census but have found a Spring Street 1910.
However numbers shown are 371 - 375 - 379 only and above and below is a different street name ???
Hopefully someone with better know how can find the right address for you.

Pedigree Resource Files - George Washington Turner and Anna Wilcox/Poyntell - states Anna passed away 25 January 1888 Paris, France. Fits in with possible re-marriages at Worcester UK - June 1888 and the one to Agnes in December 1893

Thanks a lot, I did find some of this, but not as much as you. Very interesting.
Yes - Agnes was Ethel`s stepmother and by 1911 she was back in UK.
Both the children of George W and Ann, George W junior and Annie Georgina who initially travelled with their parents married in England but didn`t stay there.

The article is quite large. Divided into upper & lower half. May need to use keyboard zoom option (Ctrl + +) on part 1 to read. Ethel is mentioned in passing a couple of times (2nd column).

This is wonderful, can you give me a link to the newspapers source, which website are they one.
I wonder if there was any mention of Ethels death.
The Fitzpatrick's who were at the same address a few weeks later don`t seem to have any connection.
The distance from Syracruse where George junior was in 1910 and Rhode Island where Ethel died in 1910 is about 300 miles, so why on earth was she there.
Agnes was a lot younger and came from quite a well off family in Wrexham. She and George didn`t have children of their own.
The three of them are buried together in this large plot.

have had a look for Newspapers online, but so far none are free :-\
