I would just like too say a big thankyou for all your help .
This is Jacqui Keiths wife its my Annie you have helped me with
the family story is Annie went with her auntie to the USA to help her
i thought she had a young family and that was why she needed help
but i know know differant ,
I was talking to my other auntie who in the late 60s met Annie in her
home but could not remmber where it was but thought it was Long Island
how wrong she was only 17 at the time she has now remembered Graces husband was Ted as he picked them up from the station he worked for the railway she thinks Annie was ill at the time and had nurses around the clock she diead not long after thay returnd home ,
It looks like Catherine married William which i was not expcting ,

Thank you
Jacqui :-)

Thanks Maureen - but you made the breakthrough! Let's say it's good teamwork :-)

Haven't found deaths yet for William and Catherine (or a marriage) - complicated by there being other families called Ashworth in Fall River, also they moved around quite a bit.

William and Sophia Ashworth made a few trips back to England in 1900 and 1907, presumably they may have been in touch with their friends and family. Unfortunately no UK address is given.

This looks like them in 1891 in England, just before they left for USA:

Perhaps his bereavement was the whole reason for Catherine going over there. He was from England so perhaps an old family friend?

This 1910 is the William Ashworth that Catherine and Annie were travelling to, the address on the census is 1147 Plymouth Avenue. William's occupation is a machinist, same as the 1920 that Maureen posted.

Ooh, I think Maureen may have something there. If I recall, we stopped looking for Mr Ashworth in later years once we'd found Annie.

Regards the name of Kate, it's definitely her because on the 1911 immigration papers she names her contact as Mrs Lloyd at that 1911 census address.

Hi Maureen

I wonder if Catherine may have married Williard Ashworth, the age and place of birth are all correct.

Hello Marie
Havent found her on a census before calling herself Kate?

The address is actually not far from where we live now. She came to Southport on the 1901 census as well, but as Catherine.

The query w have here now is that Wickcliffe Lloyd is also a family name, but on Keith,s side of the family!! The only one we can trace though was born in 1828, cannot find any more of this one.

Am I being wildly optimistic with this one??
