Burial
Ellen was buried at Allerton Cemetery in Liverpool on Wednesday, September 21, 1938. Her grave site is # 1168 in General Section 9, order # 42374. There is no headstone and no one else is buried in the grave. The owner of the grave is Alice Prescott.
As you can see there is no mention of my grandfather.
John William was a house painter at one point (probably worked for his father in law, Thomas Stenson who was a house painter). He is also listed as a Fireman somewhere. The person I found on the passenger list was a Fireman. I tried contacting the shipping line but they had no information.
Family legend has it that he went to New York and was painting ships on the docks in Brooklyn when he had a fall and was hospitalized. He supposedly wrote to his mother for bith certificates of the children so he could claim compensation for dependants. She did not respond, saying that he was never any good!!! Since the children were born 1899 - 1905, I assume this would have been about 1910 - 1915.
Closely knit family!
