Hi Julie,
just come home and had a quick look as to where we are up to 

Who is he with in 1911?

In 1911 he's just with Victoria Maud Wilson (24) Single at home, Dorothy Rosina Wilson (22) Single at home and Beatrice May Wilson (16) Single and at home.  No sign of Rosina - I did have a quick look for her elsewhere but nothing cropped up, haven't investigated death records though.  Will have to do that over the weekend.

They lived at 108 Gresty Road, Crewe, Nantwich

Oh to have a crystal ball...........

Julie, If you plug on and chip away at this you'll be amazed what bit and pieces of info you come by and how they add up to a picture of what was happening... it won't happen in a hurry but over time, with persistence and effort and help from others, you'll know a fantastic amount. 
 Maybe you'd better consider quitting your day job and concentrate on this

Just had another thought- when did he died and have you managed to locate his will?   That would be fascinatting.

Hello everyone,

His two families though are entirely separate - his youngest with Hannah F being born 1879 and the oldest with Rosina was born 1887 so he could have separated from his Hannah some time before he began his relationship with Rosina.

So, whilst he did have two lives, they weren't parallel so he was perhaps not that bad

I don't think he was that bad either - anyway, my Nana was so lovely that she couldn't have come from bad stock.......I think it's really great that when he was 59 in 1901 he had a "dolly bird" for a wife, Rosina only 36!! and a young family, Beatrice was only 6.  Also Edgar and his brother Harry were very handsome from their pictures so perhaps they took after John Henry.  Would be interesting to know if he financially supported the family in London or not.

Anyway it's made me smile and yes, Charlotte, I'll keep chipping away in all directions and see what else comes to light.

Thanks for your interest guys - enjoy the sunshine.......

For anyone who's interested......I have been contacted by a nephew of Annie Maria, he is the Grandson of her sister Margaret and I am so delighted.  He has some knowledge of Annie but had no idea she had a  baby, namely Phyllis Mabel.  He lives relatively near so I intend to take my file and pictures etc., and pop and see him in the next month or so to hopefully rummage through his papers etc.

Phew.......but still have no idea why Phyllis was given to another family to raise.  Hey Ho will keep trying.

Would love to know if anyone out there is related to George Horace and Ethel Mary Davis and has any letters sent from Annie to them, that may give me a clue.

Until the next installment..........Julie

Hi

This info should have been posted on your Annie Maria Beavan thread for continuity - I will ask the moderator to merge it
