Look Up request for Maud Mary Gammon

[lesleychivers]

That's some contradictory information. I wonder which is right.

Herbert Dowsley (1882-1974) and Maud Mary (Gammon, 1883-1974) Cluff lived here 1918-24 after moving from Ontario. Herbert was a plumber for Andrew Sheret and later secretary of the Dominion Plumbing & Heating Co. Various tenants occupied this house between 1925-34.

 So should have been there in the 1921 Census, but this was found on the 1921 Census.

Herbert D Cluff 36 occ Plumber
Evelyn B Cluff 36
James Herbert Cluff 5
Elizabeth Evelyn Cluff 3
Charles Thorper Cluff 2 months
Residing at 1658, Dallas Road, Victoria

This is the same address.
Thoughts ?

i think I may have found her on the 1911 census of Brantford, Ontario. She states she is single but she was probably widowed. Maud Rodgers.
 I wish I could read some of the other details but it's hard to read.
If you care to take a look.

I definitely think Maud Mary was his second wife ~ a couple of the childrens death certs are on FS, birthyears  1916 and 1921.

It does list both parents Herbert D Cluff and EVELYN ELIZABETH SMETHURST.  She was born in England c1883 and emigrated c1909.

Year of birth is correct 1883, looks to be August 3rd

The only thing that bothers me is the box titled "country of birth" ~ it should say England, but there are ditto marks. The last country put was N S ~ which could be Nova Scotia

[lesleychivers]

I agree - but in some columns it says English,. I wish I could read column 17 where it gives a date of immigration.
Probably grasping at straws here.

Column 12 is the 'year of immigration'

Column 13 is the 'year of naturalisation' if an alien

Column 17 is something to do with trade ~ maybe how long she had been at her present job ~ looks like

02-09-04 ~ domestic, so had worked at that present job seven years.

Box 14 in which she puts ENGLISH is headed 'RACIAL OR TRIBAL ORIGIN'

Box 15 is the box for NATIONALITY ~ she puts Canadian if I'm not mistaken.

Box 16 is the box for RELIGION ~ it's a bit faded

claire

EDIT: I could be wrong about box 15 ~ its very faded

I am Maud's step-grandson. What information are you still looking for about her?

[lesleychivers]

Hello James,
Well the internet is a wonderful thing isn't it.
Maud Mary was my husband's Great Aunt. His Grandmother was Lottie May Gammon.
I was interested to know when she emigrated to Canada, when she married and if she had any children. Also when she died.
You could private message me if you'd prefer.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Lesley
