My great grandmother, Hannah Ann Jane Kern CASSIDY was born in Liverpool, England and
migrated with her family to America - date unknown. They settled first in Joliet,
Illinois. I have come into possession of several old photographs of this family made in
Joliet, Illinois at Griffing's Extra Finish located 116 Jefferson Street and Rudd
located at Collins and clay Street in Joliet.
Hannah met and married William Edward Lewis who was also an immigrant from Cardiff, Wales.
AFter their marriage and the birth of their children, William moved his family to
Birmingham, Alabama to work in the steel industry which was developing there at the time.
I recall my grandmother telling me of that move and their impressions at the time. The
family lived there the rest of their lives.
The children of Hannah Ann and William Edward Lewis are:
David William Lewis 1893-1893
Violet Mae Lewis 1894-1975 (my grandmother)
Ethel Rebecca Lewis 1896 to about 1923
John Edmund Lewis 1898-1988. He was quite athletic.
Hannah's siblings are:
Rebecca b 1866
Isabella Arbuckle b 1869
Margaret Boyd b 1869
John b 1874
Hanah's parents were John Cassidy 1842 to abt 1919
Hannah Ann Boyd 1843 to 1879
I would like information on her parents, siblings and any connections to any other
relatives there may be.
