Hi Gill,
I will of course remove you if you like. Did I do anything to make you
uncomfortable?
We will be happy to receive any photos you wish to send.
Thanks so much,
Faith

>Hi All,

>Today I thought I would post the information that I have regarding George
>Henry's siblings.
>
>Of course the second child born was Frank Alexander who passed away at the
>approximate age of 3 in 1885.
>
>Next was Kate Maria.
>Around 1907, Kate married Herbert JONES. He was also born in England,
>however, the couple were married in Canada. I have not yet been able to
>find these records. I did, however, find them in the 1920 and 1930 US
>Censuses. They were living in Seattle, Washington. Herbert was a sorter
>and marker in a laundry. They had 5 children in the 1920 census but by
>1930 three of them were no longer at home. Since I don't know if any of
>these children are still alive, I have not included the particulars. I am
>aware that Herbert Jones died sometime after the 1930 census was taken. I
>am not sure when. However, I know that Kate remarried a man named Henry
>VOSS. He had a disabled son named Joe who was with them to the time of
>their death as I understand it. I also have a letter that says that one
>of Kate's granddaughters (Beatrice's daughter, surname MERRITT) was a bush
>pilot in Alaska. Other than the ship's records that I posted last time, I
>have nothing else on Kate. Anyone else have anything?
>
>Then, Florence.
>She married Charles Hugh DEVEREAUX on November 15, 1909 in Winnipeg,
>Manitoba.
>They adopted one child, Doris Evelyn, who was born in Toronto, October 24,
>1914. She passed away a few years back. We had been corresponding. She
>was rather bitter about her childhood and felt that Florence had not
>treated her right. Of course, we have no way of knowing what went on, but
>Doris says she used to throw it up in her face that she was adopted. I
>really didn't get any other information as Doris did not want to talk
>about her childhood.
>
>Now we come to Frank Arthur.
>Of all the siblings of this family, Frank fared the best. He was taken to
>Canada from the workhouse and was placed in a home which, from what I have
>been told, gave him every advantage. The people were well off and, more
>importantly, loving. Frank said that it was the best thing that could
>have happened to him. (Oh, if only all the children could have said the
>same thing.) He sailed on the SS Asyrian departing from Liverpool on July
>3, 1897 and arriving in Halifax July 15, 1897. He was 8 years old at the
>time. When he boarded the boat, the people in charge labelled him with a
>tag stating his last name was CAPENHURST. That is the family name used by
>this branch to this day.
>For a time, he lived in Toronto. But the family eventually moved to
>Buffalo, New York. I have been in touch with his sons and daughter and
>find them to be lovely people.
>Frank married Wilma Frances CARROLL (b. Apr 26, 1893 in Kingston, Ontario)
>on Nov 11, 1921. They had 3 children, which I know to be living and
>therefore will not post the details. Frank died on Nov 21, 1973. His wife
>had died 14 months previously on Aug 8, 1972.
>
>Millie was next.
>As most of you know, we have received information from the Barnardo home
>regarding Milllie. However, I am not allowed to publish it, and as I
>understand it, that means I can't post it to a site on the web. I may
>make copies of the material for family however. Suffice it to say that
>Millie was sent to Canada at age 11. She traveled on the SS Colonian
>leaving Liverpool on Sept 25, 1902 and arriving Oct 6, 1902. This
>information I found in the Canadian archives. Around 1905, she went to
>live with Frank. She met and married Reginal Redcliffe CLAYTON in Nov of
>1917 in Harris, Saskatchewan where she lived for the rest of her life.
>They had 5 children - 1 girl and 4 boys which included a set of twins. To
>the best of my knowledge only the girl is still living. They are a lovely
>family.
>
>I think at this point, I had better close as this is getting rather long.
>I wil post information regarding Archie and Marie later on.
>
>Take care everyone.
