Lancashire Lookup Requests / William Cousins
« on: Friday 28 September 12 07:52 BST (UK)  »
Hi
I have lost my grandfather.  He was in Liverpool in 1933, living at the Seamans mission.  William was deported from newfoundland Canada in the great depression and I assume went to Liverpool to try and get work on the boats.  He had a British Naval record.  He also had family in London and Portsmouth.  William was born Walter William Cousins in 1880.  He also used William Joseph as well as William.  Has anyone come accross anything on this man.  I wonder if he married again(he was a widower) and had another family?

thanks in anticipation.

Hampshire & Isle of Wight / cousins family Portsmouth
« on: Thursday 20 October 11 07:49 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone help me track my grandfather down,  His name was Walter William Cousins born 1880 in East Molesey, London.  He also went under William and William Joseph.
In 1881 Walter was living on South Hayling in Norfolk Lodge with his 2 sisters, Dora and May, his parents William Edgar and Lucy Amelia (Nee Radford), by 1891 his mother had died and he was with his father and grand parents living in Southsea. Sisters dispersed to family members.   Walter doesn't appear again until 1908 when he marries Annie O'Toole in St Johns Newfoundland, Canada.  In 1926 his Wife dies, he is left with 6 children.  Between 1926 and 1930 he loses a son, and in 1930 in the great depression, he is deported back to UK with his 3 young daughters.  One son stays in NFLD, and a daughter goes to USA.  The eldest young daughter stays in Portsmouth maybe working in the catholic circles somewhere, never heard of again.  The remaining 2 girls are placed in Nazereth house in September 1930.  Their father, my grandfather is not heard of again until about 1947/1948, when through an Aunt he requests to meet the two girls.  They refuse.  What I want is to find out where he went and where he died.  I know he didn't go back to Newfoundland, but beyond that he is a mystery.
Does anyone have any ideas that I can track, I have tried shipping records Uk death records,  to no avail.  where else can I try, any ideas?

many thanks
