Hi Ladies,
This is bizarre! I just found a post of yours, lynfitz, on the ramsgate history forum, re: John, and came here to refresh my memory on what had been discovered. This is great news; I appreciate your persistence in this endeavor. I was fairly convinced they were the same Elizabeth, there were too many "coincidences" for it to be otherwise, but had no evidence to confirm the hunch 😕
When I was back in Margate, 2014, I met a local researcher, I'll contact him and see if he is able to find any info on a Read/Pike marriage and let you know if he turns anything up 😀

US Lookup Requests / Re: 1900 Census, New York - Aylestock

Hi o2bna10t and welcome to rootschat.

Since posting the Emaline request I have found she remained in Berlin, Waterloo Co. Ontario until her death in 1943

James Aylestock Sr. c.1844 USA is still my brick wall  ???  All I know about him is what is on his marriage certificate to Emiline and that a newspaper announcement states at the time of marriage he was "of Elmira". 

James Aylstock ca.1818 USA and Hannah Aylstock ca.1819 USA, both are in Pelham, Monck, Ontario: he is head of household she is at the home of a young couple (maybe working there?) both James and Hannah state "married" I am assuming it's to each other :)  As you said my James Sr. (married to Emiline) put his mother's name as Sally and didn't know his father's name; so who is this couple? A couple of thoughts, uncle is one but there is also the possibility if James and Hannah's ages in 1881 are not correct they could be older and may even be Sally's parents making them my James Sr. grandparents. (I have another family member whose documented est. birth year ranged anywhere from 1814 to 1835)

I'm still following some recent leads regarding this James 1818 but any additional input you may have I'd be more that happy to hear from you. will pm you my email address

Thanks Casalguidi,
I hadn't seen that post on the Ramsgate History Board. This is the same gal I contacted. As I read the post and saw that John Bushell's first wife was a Knight and Elizabeth gave her address as 29 Camden Square, Ramsgate it has convinced me even more that they could be the same Elizabeth.

Knight is another name known within the lifeboat circle as well as Read and Cooper, these families all have intermingled marriages. I googled the address because it sounded familiar my heart almost jumped out my throat on googlemap as memories of Visiting my Aunt Lola and Aunt Vi on that very same street came flooding back.
I will definitely hold onto your George A READ info, when I saw his year of birth my mind immediately thought WW1 too  :-\

Thank you Peb21 I appreciate the input :) So we have to rule out the Elizabeth Trist who married Frederick Pike? This doesn't change the fact that Elizabeth Read (widow) who married John Bushell in 1923 gave her father's name as Walter Trist also a bricklayer. I'm wondering what happened to the mother's names then?  It is also curious that your Frederick and Elizabeth called their first daughter Alma which you have to admit is not a common name and my GGran was also an Alma, maybe there is a connection between your Trist family and mine.

I have just restarted this research after a couple years break, I was neglecting my living for my dead so I'm a bit rusty :-[

I appreciate all your input
Regards all from Canada

Oh Ok, thx for the carver/gilder phrase info
Frederick still alive in 1911 census and I just found that birth for Violet so if Frederick died some time after 1913 it's still possible that Elizabeth Pike re married a Read between at least 1913 and before 1923 if they are the same people :/ My reasoning is Alma married a Fletcher in Faversham, Kent was in Canada where my Nan was born I have them in 1911 Toronto Canada Alma then married James Dean in Ramsgate 1930. I know it's a long shot but that makes it all the more fun ;)

WOW!!
Thank you all for the additional information, these are my people  :D

Walter Brouse/Browse Trist was a name given me by an Aunt as the father of her Gran Alma, she remembered a sister Elizabeth but didn't know a lot about her. I found the marriage for Walter and Susan using freebmd and a birth for Elizabeth but am always cautious on the pay sites if it's only going to give info I already have, now I have the names of Walter and Susan's parents.

Jennifer, on the marriage for Walter and Susan I'm a little confused about the Carver/Gilder part?

Keyboard86, this inquiry originated with me finding a post online for someone else researching "Walter Trist on the Marriage certificate of Elizabeth Read widow as her father. The marriage was in 1923 to John Bushell." (italics are mine) in Ramsgate, Kent, which is where my paternal family hails from primarily. The Reads and Coopers were both families pretty much dedicated to service on the Ramsgate lifeboat. Trist is not a common name and both the father and daughter had names that I had in my family so I contacted the gal who was inquiring, I wasn't able to find a Trist + Read marriage but did find the Trist + Pike/White marriages and was thinking along the lines Elizabeth Trist becomes a Pike we know now then a Read then a Bushell
LOL just read that it sounds like a garden :P
So I'm still looking, they may not be the same family but who knows, it's a mystery begging to be solved and this Trist side both Elizabeth and Alma are certainly keeping me busy.
Sincere Thanks again from Canada
Denise.

Thanks Rosie, that's what I was afraid of, don't want to pay for what I can get free and I'm in Canada so can't nip down to the local library :)

Hi Jamie
Do you have any additional info for Frederick's parents, brothers or sisters, wife etc? It may help with searching

Thank you so much for checking that for me Keyboard86
Yes, with both the women being Elizabeth it frustrated my attempts at browsing the 1901 they are both the same age too; what are the chances?  :-\
The child Alma would have been named after my GGrandmother :)
This gives me a married surname to look for the Read marriage
Thankyou again

Hi Everyone
Glad to see you are all still doing what you do best  :)
I have a couple of months off work and decided to pick up where i left off..........trying to track down some of my dead ends (excuse the pun)  :-\
Since I left our ancestors haven't increased but our descendants have, we've gone from 5 grandchildren when I left to 12 as of Dec 24th
Hopefully I can track down some of those elusive family members and shift through some possible scandals
