I remember my grandmother Millicent saying that Arthur treated her very coldly which was sad becasue she said he was very warm and loving with his other children.

It hurt her and it hurt her most that Kate would never tell even her her father's name.

LOL lizzie don't worry you are not alone in the cunfusion :).

Its true that they have a son William H Morris.

But remember his father is Arthur (H) Henry Morris and his Grandfather William (H) Henry Morris

So the H would most likely stand for Henry.

Remember not to confuse Horace Eade (William Eade) With William Morris.


Maybe the fact that both fathers were called WILLIAM was why they wrote Horace.

In the letter ( that goes with the photo) I.E its written on the back it says the photo is c 1912, Millicent was born in 1912 so she could well have been early pregnant, you will note that she was married in 1913 so a year after that photo.

They list the residence of marriage as the same at the time of marriage.  Living together NAUGHTY.

Oh another thing the family says is that they were very devout salvation army...ist? (sp) But that Millicent changed to devout catholic, but before that everyone was of the church salvation army.

Let me think about when Kate died, i think it was for sure she died in Hackney because they were settled there.

The address they give as living is:

28 Devonport  road shepherds bush? ( hard for me to read and i don't know london)

Is there a shepherds bush?

Thanks Igor i was hoping you would do that  ;)!


Thanks Coombs i have said a few times that she had the full name Catherine (not sure of spelling) but was only called Kate.

Isn't it true that people lied all the time about their ages and who was living in the house for personal reason or they just didnt know?


Arthur Morris had a high position in the town by all accounts at the time, My 70 yo aunts words "he was a very respected man"

which i take to mean didnt have to take on a love child if he didnt want to.

Arthur was a railway conductor and his father the former railway station master.

ooooooooooor......The names of father's are written the wrong way round and its Willian Eade and Horace Morris (lol).

Just to add: Sorry i dont have the papers myself they are in Austrlaia with my aunt and mum and BOTH can hardly type an email so them scanning this is one for the record books.

Well for the age thing:  My Aunt who is 70 and the daughter of Millicent and granddaughter to Kate told me first thing that "OF COURSE Kate was 10 years older then her husband, woman in our family ALWAYS have younger men!"

 ( her current boyfriend is 55) soo that age group works well with family history.

JAP i hope i didnt sound like i was saying you didnt know what a sieve maker was!  I never heard of a sieve maker in my life before this day!

I am just trying to dot the I's and cross the T's so to speak.

Thanks Igor!

I just wanted to make sure that you all know how thankyou i am for your help and i dont take you for granted.

But enough of the soppy stuff.

I am ordering the birth cert for Millicent right now.  Thankyou for the gro number.


I have been rereading through the thread just to take in all the infomation and just want to talk about:

This which EC posted:

Millie B Eade b. Dec 1912 mother maiden name Eade

Kate Eade m. Arthur H Morris Dec 1913

Both Hackney

then:

Births Dec 1914
Morris    William H   mmn  Eade    - district Paddington    vol 1a   page 63

both these are right


Then:

Ellen Eade age 50  (mother) charwoman born Ipswich
Kate Eade age 21  (born 1880) Tailoress
Lizzie Eade age 19  (sister)
Annie Eade age 12  (sister)
Rose Eade age 8  (sister)

Let's say this Ellen is kate's mujm, i never new Kate's mother's name. But then we have the leap of faith

Coombs posted:

Ellen's late husband was William Eade, born in Little Bromley, Essex according to the 1891 census.

then :

If the 1901 and 1891 censuses mentioned earlier are the right Kate, then this looks like her in the 1881 census on FamilySearch:
2 Ada Place London MDX
EADE
Wm, Head, 32, b Essex, Boot Finisher
Ellen, Wife, 29, b Ipswich
Arthur, Son, 8, b Shoreditch
Ellen M, Daur, 3, b St Lukes
Kate, Daur, 1, b Shoreditch

Births of children from FreeBMD:
Arthur Dec qtr 1872 Shoredtich
Ellen Mary Jun qtr 1877 Holborn
Kate Dec qtr 1879 Shoreditch
Lizzie Mar qtr 1882 Bethnal Green
Annie Jun qtr 1889 Bethnal Green
Rose Mar qtr 1893 Hackney

And perhaps the parents' marriage
Dec qtr 1871 Islington
William EADE
Ellen JEFFORD on the same page

posted by JAP.

Soooo how does a man forget his name is William and call himself Horace?

And to you think this is solid enough to change Horace to william for my searches?

What would you do?

Seeing as Horace doesnt exist?  But Horace is named as father of the bride.

Yes Igorstav

I totally think the same thing as you.   Maybe she did continue to sleep around after her marriage and father the Kenneth.


But that story will never be know.

Thanks everyone for your translations!!

Thanks Jap,

But i think its a stretch to say that word is "shoe"  even though i would love to fall on that like a starving dog.

But i can see SIEVE and i searched for "what is a sieve maker"

AND got:

Sieve Maker: Makes and repairs sieves used in flour sifting machines, using handtools: Tacks cotton cloth lining onto frame and stretches and staples wire screen across bottom. Places free-moving cloth pads in frame. Stretches and tacks silk cloth across top of frame. Tacks strips of cotton flannel around outer sides of frame so sieve fits snugly into machine. Removes and replaces defective parts of damaged sieves. May also be designated according to function as Sieve Repairer (feed industry).

As teh job exist i dont think we can ignore it.


By the way i just want to say i am sorry if i am boring you all with this and please just tell me if you want me to stop posting about it.

I hope i am not making you all feel obligated to help, i know its interesting to me because its my family history.

But all your help is received with the utmost gratitude.

Hi everyone thanks for the help again.

NO Kate is definitely not a mother to any children in the photo she is just their nurse maid, but the letter says she is pregnant with a baby who is a half sister to the 3 children in the photo.

Morris is definitely not Millicent's father as she was 1 when Kate and Arthur were married and family stoires say the baby was the child of her former boss.

Morris and Kate had children together so there are some half-blood family members on the Morris line that i will research later, but at the moment i am just trying to find the direct grandfather/grandmother links.

Kate was know as Catherine.

I would think that we could see Horace somewhere on census ....if we could work out what it said his profession was...something S----- Maker


Maybe that would give an idea where he took the census, as he was dead in 1912 we should have access to census details for him.

The house where Kate worked must be in London somewhere, any ideas to what social class i should try and  look for Kennedy's in?

Is the style of clothes the kids wearing normal for the era?  Do  you think they are wearing thier sunday best for the photo?

What level of class would have a photo like that taken?

Jaymee

Thankyou
Jaymee
