James was one of his brothers - I have very early memories of him visiting us in the early 50s.  :)

At long last I have found a reference to Phoebe's death.
This is the entry in The Lethbridge Herald dated 27th July 1921

"Mother and Daughter Drowned.
Regina July 23. Mrs R M Seymour and her daughter, two and a half years old, were drowned at Lac Pelletier, in the Cadillac district, south of Swift Current, on Saturday night. Both bodies have been recovered"

Now to find out their place of burial.
Regards
Nell

What an excellent photo. It is indeed F W Seymour. By any chance are any of the boys themselves named? I ask because my father was there a pupil there in the late 20s and he mentions several names of friends in his school boy diaries. It would be interesting to see if there were any matches.

Many thanks for posting this

Do you have any details of Samuel Baytor SEYMOUR's death and place of burial. He has been very elusive and I have not been able to locate either of these pieces of information, although it is some time since I last did a search.

I would love to see a photo of Pheobe (I understand from something I read that she was known as Tilly - I will have to scour my notes to see if I can find the reference) with her children. It will be interesting to see whether or not there is a family resemblence in the children with any of our side of the tree. I will send you my email address via a private message.

Thank you Moragsey. Isn't it wonderful when brick walls crumble and fall. I had almost given up hope of adding this information to our tree. There are several degrees of separation between my line and your husband's but James Cooke Seymour's father James was brother to Thomas Seymour (b 1807 Groggan) and Thomas Seymour was my great great grandfather. What relation your husband and I are to each other I haven't quite worked out but my grandmother Maud (also a Seymour) seemed to be of the opinion that if you had Irish blood  any relation, however distant, was automatically a cousin! If we can help you with your tree please ask.
With very best wishes

Suffolk Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Ipswich - corner of Ranelagh Rd & London Rd

Hello all

 The 1901 census (Ref RG13/1776/68/38) has:
Address 1 and 2, Handford Villas, Ranelagh Road
Elizabeth H Cooper, Head, Single, Female, 43, 1858, Matron House Feeble Minded Girls
plus a Laundy Matron and a Sub Matron caring for 19 girls aged 13 to 19

I wonder how they defined feeble minded?

In the 1911 census there is a reference to Handford Home Ranelagh Road Ipswich where the 17 inmates all appear to be young(ish) women ranging in age from 10 to 27.
