I had over 400 in "My Relatives" Tree Matches.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">One of my plans this year is to stay on top of my inbox, and my genealogy matches. This is no small task!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">A quick update on Geni...I am now connected to 185, 080, 265 people in the World Tree</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">My "Family Tree" has 8,489 people in it.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">My "Blood Relatives" has capped at 100,000 (the max it will search for)</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">My "Ancestors" are 36,420</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I like to run the Forest Density Calculator as well, and have set that to run on my profile while I work.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">As usual, I am writing this while working on the Geni Tree, and in the few minutes I have been working on things, the World Tree has grown by about 2000 people.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The current population of the USA is about 331 million. This means that while our World Tree is pretty impressive, we are far from having one profile for everyone living or ever lived in it!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In the time since I started this post, I have had 2 merge requested accepted already. I am now down to 286 Tree matches in My Relatives.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">There are 3 Requested Merges, 39 Tree Conflicts and 400 Data Conflicts.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The merges I have been working on were mostly "easy" type merges, where it is very clear the profiles are the same. There were a few suggested matches that were not for profiles that were the same, so I unmatched those.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">A third merge request was accepted.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Down to 185 Tree Matches now and its getting a bit harder. At 167 Tree Matches to go, I decided to switch to the Tree Conflicts which were now 51. I worked the Tree Conflicts down to 19, then back to the Tree Matches, which are now 161.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I had to leave the house for a non-genealogy related errand, and while I was gone, 5 more merges were completed by people.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">It looks like other people are also trying to get their Geni trees cleaned up because I am having great success having people complete merges. 2 more merges were complete by other people, and I now have 18 Tree Conflicts and 121 Tree Matches.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I then moved on to the "Managed by Me" category, where I had 187 Tree Conflicts and 999+ Tree Matches.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Meanwhile, my (not Geni) Inbox now has 20,622 emails (not including subfolders). In my Geni Notifications it says I have 127 new requests. To be continued tomorrow....</span></p>Kris Hewitthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01901085198280731179noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-733163484619063905.post-47004405258032597042021-03-16T03:14:00.000-04:002021-03-16T03:14:08.642-04:00Ancestry Explorer Map<p> <span style="font-size: large;">Going through my inbox today, I came across a post by Randy Seaver about Ancestor Explorer. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I entered in my WikiTree ID and was shocked to see that it didn't work because apparently my profile is set to "Private" instead of "Private with Public Family Tree".

One shows a different colour for each country of birth. White is used for Unknown, so I went in and added the country of birth for all the people with white coloured parts of the fan chart.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">You can also view the family tree fan chart with colours added for sources...white is for 0, then there are slightly darker orange colours for 1-4, 5-9 and 10+</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Another viewing option is for how many photos have been attached.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Yet another option is to view the Research Helps. This shows blue for Record Hints, orange for Data Problems and purple for research suggestions.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">As I work on contacting all my Relatives at Rootstech I will try to work a bit on improving my FamilySearch tree. </span></p>Kris Hewitthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01901085198280731179noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-733163484619063905.post-86313605742142137062021-02-24T18:04:00.003-05:002021-02-26T21:59:05.355-05:00Relatives at Rootstech<p><span style="font-size: large;">You can go to <a href="https://www.familysearch.org/connect/" target="_blank">https://www.familysearch.org/connect/</a> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">and get a list of all the people who are related to you who are also registered at Rootstech.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I currently have 2208 cousins listed, and the number is going up rapidly! While writing this it went up to 2226!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I am going to try the impossible, to message, friend request, and make sure I have added all my relatives who are at Rootstech to my Ancestry and Geni trees!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">This has already worked well for me, as my 2nd listed cousin, who is a third cousin twice removed, was not already in my tree!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Five more hours to the Expo Hall preview....</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">*Update, Thursday, Feb 25, 10:30 am EST*</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I am now up to 3080 cousins listed, and have found a new set of ancestors from researching my line with one of the first ones I contacted....</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">*Update, Friday, Feb 26, 6 pm EST*</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I now have 4177 cousins listed but my system is now broken.

I guess now I will have to keep a list, because if not, I will accidentally message the same people twice or risk missing people who were added since I started...</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I really hope Rootstech is in person next year!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">*Update, Friday, Feb 26, 9:30 pm EST*</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">My list now has over 4218 people on it. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Geni also has this feature, which I opted in to.

The first airplane ride that I remember was when I flew with my mother from Vancouver to Ontario to live when I was 4 years old. I was handed a book to read, a little Golden Reader, and fell asleep. When I woke up in Ontario, I had no idea how far we had travelled. Some weeks later, I was out in a car with my mother and grandmother and insisted they pull over so I could get out. I got out of the car, looked all around and started crying inconsolably. I thought the Rocky Mountains, that I had seen in the background my whole life had somehow disappeared on me! </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I know I was on planes before then, as I have pictures of me at Christmas at my grandparents house with my mother when I was barely 2 years old. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Also, my mother used to tell me that she would fly with me "all the time" to the Calgary Stampede when I was a baby. This makes me wonder who my mom knew in Calgary!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I've flown on planes a few times since then, once to Disneyland in 2006 and back of course to Vancouver airport. I also used to fly to visit my mother with my children from BC to Ontario.</span></p>Kris Hewitthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01901085198280731179noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-733163484619063905.post-13134018213836451262020-12-07T21:24:00.001-05:002020-12-07T21:24:19.979-05:00#5303<p> <span style="font-size: large;">Using the <a href="http://www.mylinktothepast.com/2014/01/a-little-genealogy-fun-roll-ancestor.html" target="_blank">random number generator at my page</a> I got the number 5303.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Looking at my ancestors <a href="http://www.mylinktothepast.com/2013/10/ancestors-of-kristina-lee-hewitt.html" target="_blank">here</a> I can see I do not even have a name for 5303.

at 23andMe<p> <span style="font-size: large;">Some seemingly very bad changes are happening at 23andme. Apparently they have dropped the number of matches from 2000 to 1500, and the old method of sharing with someone or messaging them doesn't allow you to bypass.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">You can read about it on Roberta Estes blog <a href="https://dna-explained.com/2020/10/08/23andme-changes-download-matches-now-or-lose-many/" target="_blank">here</a> and on Shannon Christmas's blog <a href="https://throughthetreesblog.tumblr.com/post/631347932244951040/while-you-were-sleeping-23andme-disrupts-dna-relatives" target="_blank">here</a></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I am definitely not thrilled by this news! This is a complete disaster for people have have tested people who are no longer with us to retest (I personally have tested 3 people who are no longer with us to retest at 23andme). Even if they did offer to retest using the stored samples, I would not likely pursue that option, as I would prefer to wait for significant advances in DNA testing, as there isn't unlimited bites at the testing apple with the stored sampled.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I am now downloading the aggregated files for all my testers at 23andnow now. Not really sure how much use that will be though, because usually I would go and contact the match thru their profile, which I could find by searching my matches list....</span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Kris Hewitthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01901085198280731179noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-733163484619063905.post-21196283490822983502020-10-15T22:07:00.004-04:002020-10-15T22:07:40.788-04:00Ummm... not quite Geneanet<p> <span style="font-size: large;">Geneanet sent me an email indicating that I could now view my haplogroups on Geneanet.

I couldn't resist taking a quick peak into it, as I am not aware of having used any bank records in research up until now.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I accessed the database and ran a search for "Rice" which is a major research focus for me. There were 101 entries for "Rice". </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I started with the first one, which was for a Melissa Rice, wife of Nelson Rice and their son Francis H Rice. The page is titled Apr 4th, 1855. They lived at 32 Pleasant. What I really liked about this record is that Melissa signed with an X, but a note states that she could "write but has a cane right hand". I did a quick search in my Legacy database for a Nelson Rice married to a Melissa and didn't find one. I then did a quick search on Geni.com for a Nelson Rice married to a Melissa and didn't find one. A quick scan of my Nelson Rice entries in my Legacy database didn't show any with a Boston birthplace, so I searched Ancestry for a marriage of a Nelson Rice to a Melissa, and found one in 1831 in Boston. Unfortunately, there were no parents listed.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I then switched gears and looked for a Francis H Rice, in Boston, son of a Nelson Rice. I found an 1855 Massachusetts census record with a Nelson Rice, 49, born in NH, M Rice, 39, born in MA, and Francis H Rice,23 born in MA, Horatio N Rice, 21, born in MA and Alonzo O Rice, 19, born in MA all living in Boston, MA.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I did have a Nelson Rice born in 1806 in Vermont, son of Gardner Rice and Lydia Hagar in my database.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In the 1840 city directory for Boston, there is only one Nelson Rice, living in the rear of 28 Poplar. He is listed as a laborer.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In the 1842 city directory for Boston, there is only one Nelson Rice, living in the rear of 31 Allen.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">There is an 1850 Census with a Nelson Rice, 44, born in Vermont, with a "Miles" Rice, and sons Horatio and Alonzo in Boston, MA.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In 1860 the Nelson Rice family appears to be in California.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Nelson Rice would be my 4th cousin 7 times removed, he is also a descendant of Edmund Rice.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Melissa died in 1879 in California. There is a Findagrave memorial at <a href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/187137355/melissa-rice">https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/187137355/melissa-rice</a></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Other researchers have indicated that Nelson died in California in 1880.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I find a Nelson Rice, age 77 listed on a voters list in 1890, having registered in 1884.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In 1907 there is mention in the newspaper article of his son, Francis H Rice requesting administration of his estate, as he had died in 1888.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA1tzUqj4UomQQDwwuCQDHXWv0aTrz00OOV6ztJ6tS0j-QMYrUH8WjQgbTd8fa-Ect8zes7Wtatyp7LtMNB7dU17IuRDSQUrvcVULys6-7_ADO-4P4HhtaHXQB89TBZIBJHOptMLaOPIc/s385/ricenelsonestateChicoWeeklyEnterprise27Sep1907.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="188" data-original-width="385" height="195" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA1tzUqj4UomQQDwwuCQDHXWv0aTrz00OOV6ztJ6tS0j-QMYrUH8WjQgbTd8fa-Ect8zes7Wtatyp7LtMNB7dU17IuRDSQUrvcVULys6-7_ADO-4P4HhtaHXQB89TBZIBJHOptMLaOPIc/w400-h195/ricenelsonestateChicoWeeklyEnterprise27Sep1907.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">As I accepted the Ancestry hints to the top 10 trees with Nelson Rice, I added a note to each indicating I believe his correct death date is 16 Mar 1888.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">I find it interesting to note that the top tree had 5 sources and 4 records for Nelson. By this point I had 28 sources and 23 records. Only the top 2 matches had his wife Melissa, and neither had all 3 children listed. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">I also find it interesting I could only be matched with 10 other researchers, and I suspect this may be a limit imposed by Ancestry, not that there were actually only 10.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">The death record of Francis Henry Rice in 1910 in Chico, Butte, California, incorrectly listed and indexed as born and died on the same date, altho he is listed as aged 77 years, 8 months. This record lists his parents as Nelson Rice and Melissa Flog, and states Nelson was born in New York, and Melissa in MA. The informatant on this death record was his brother Otis Alonzo. In the 1910 census the brothers were listed as living together.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Otis made a will and died in 1916, and left his estate to his friend Anson. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Going back to the bank records, later that same year, on 11 Jul 1855, there is another entry for Melissa and her son Francis H, and her address is still 32 Pleasant but his is "California"</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Sources:</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">1840 US Census, accessed at Ancestry.com</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">1850 US Census, accessed at Ancestry.com</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">1855 Massachusetts State Census, accessed at Ancestry.com</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">1860 US Census, accessed at Ancestry.com</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">1870 US Census, accessed at Ancestry.com</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">1880 US Census, accessed at Ancestry.com</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">various California Voters Registers, accessed at Ancestry.com</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Findagrave for Melissa Rice</span></p><p><br /></p>Kris Hewitthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01901085198280731179noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-733163484619063905.post-52161995155758916452020-10-15T17:23:00.003-04:002020-10-15T17:23:25.975-04:00Today I am watching "Dealing with Endogamy" at Legacy Webinars<p><span style="font-size: large;">Today I am watching a new webinar that is available for free for a limited time at Legacy Webinars.

My Ancestry Record Hints led me to take a fresh look today. The couple is my 3rd great uncle Albert Peverell and his wife Marie Therese Peverelle who is also my 3rd great aunt by blood as well as marriage. Every record I have seen seems to indicate that Albert and Marie Therese Peverelle were half-siblings who later married. This seems unlikely to be accurate but is so far what appears to be the situation. I suspect one of them isn't the person I think they are (ie. one of them is actually a cousin with the same name) but can find nothing to support this theory.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Both Albert and Marie Theresa appear to be children of my 3rd great grandfather Lewis Peverelle, who was born in 1842 in Birmingham, England. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><u>A bit of background</u></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Lewis married Sarah Ann Pointon in 1863.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Sarah Ann died in 1870.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In 1871 Lewis married Mary Theresa Pippet. Mary Theresa Pippet has been previously married in 1861 to Abel Andrew Morrall , who had died in 1870.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Abel Andrew Morrall had been married to Ann Jane, and Ann Jane had died in 1858.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><u>The documents:</u></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">A tax list for Alcester in 1810 shows an Abel Morrall, on land owned by the Marquis of Hertford. This seems a bit early for Abel to be listed, as I estimate his birth as 1793.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In 1818 there is a marriage of an Abel Morrall to a Dinah Garrett.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">A Juror's list for Alcester in 1819 lists an Abel Morrall, innkeeper.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In 1836 there is a Voters list which lists an Abel Morrall, abode: Green Lane.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In the 1841 Census for Studley there is an Abel Morrall, age 45, needle m, with wife Dina, also age 45, and Elizabeth, age 20, Abel Andrew, age 15, Helen, age 14, Francis, age 5, and James Durham age 25.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">There is a marriage of an Ann Jane Sopere to an Abel Andrew Morrall in 1847 in Studley.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Anne Jane Morrall died in 1858 in Alcester.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In 1866 in Alcester, an Abel Morrall died, age 74. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In the 1851 Census of England for Studley, I find Abel Andrew Morrall, age 28, needle manufacturer, married to Ann Jane, age 25, with daughter Laura C., age 1. Also in the household are Louisa Davies, age 14, and Laura Davies, age 11, both listed as sisters in law. 3 servants (Austin Wright, age 18; Hannah Hall, 17; and Jane Huit, age 16), and a friend, James Durham, age 40, butcher. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In the 1861 Census of England for Studley, I find Abel Andrew Morrall, needle manufacturer, married to Mary Theresa, with daughters Louisa Jane, age 6, and Jane Ann, age 4. They have 3 people living with them identified as servants. They appear to be a groom, house maid, and cook. The address appears to be on Alcester Road.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In a newspaper article in 1881, there is much discussion about Abel Andrew Morrall, needlemaker, son of another Abel Morrall, needlemaker, who apparently used the trademark of a griffin, as another man was selling needles using his name. I see an article as early as 1862 mentioning this trademark. As early as 1845 I see ads mentioning that others are copying these apparently popular needles. The maker of the needles, Abel Morrall apparently died in 1870.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">These needles were apparently quite famous, others have webpages with them on there</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.fiddlebase.com/needles/british-needle-makers/morrall-abel/">https://www.fiddlebase.com/needles/british-needle-makers/morrall-abel/</a></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">When Marie Theresa Peverelle (nee Pippet) died in 1881, administration of the estate was granted to her son Abel Edgar Morrall of Prospect House, Needle manufacturer. She is listed as of 101 Pershore Road</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Albert Peverelle was born 25 Jun 1868 in Manchester, Lancashire, England.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In the 1871 Census, young "Leo" Peverelle was a visitor in the household with Laura Catherine Morrall. The birthplace is listed as Manchester. Oswald and Percy are also listed as vistors. Laura Catherine was the daughter of Abel Andrew Morrall and his first wife Ann Jane. If I have the relationships correct this means Albert was at his stepmother (Mary Theresa Pippet)'s stepdaughters house. As Lewis and Mary married in the Apr-May-Jun quarter, it is not clear if they are already married. The census was apparently taken on Apr 2nd. On the same census I find Lewis Peverelle, merchant, widower, age 30 living as a boarder at 25 Lever St. The last entry on the previous page was for a Mary Ann Morrell, needle manufacturer, age 30, with no marriage status listed. This may be Mary Theresa. The birthplace given is Nettlebridge, Somersetshire.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In the 1881 Census of England, there is a Leo Peverelle, age 12</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In the 1891 Census of Canada there is a Leo Peverelle, age 23, living in Toronto. He is listed as a "bro" to my 2nd great grandfather Louis, listed here as Louis Jr.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In 1899 there is a passenger list, from England to South Africa, with a L Peverelle, and Miss Peverelle.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">A "L Peverelle" received a medal for service in the "H" Coy Cape Medical Staff in South Africa, Boer War.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">There is a 1901 passenger list, with Leo Peverelle, 33, and Mrs. Peverelle, age 29. They were listed as living in Liverpool. They were planning to travel to Port Hope, Ontario.

They list they were in the USA for 3 years. Albert and Teresa are aliens, daughter Alberta is a citizen.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The child born in 1908 in Athens, Maine is supposedly the 3rd child born to Mary.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">On the 9th Apr 1909, Leo Peverelle signed an application for a Land Grant, stating he lived in Athens, Maine, USA. He claims that during the time of his service he lived in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He states he served with the British Forces in South Africa from May 2, 1900 to 30 Apr 1901. "Orderly in Field Hospital and Ambulance work"</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In the 1910 US Census, for Athens, Maine, there is an Albert Peverelle, married to a Mary. They have been married 12 years, and she is listed as having 4 children, 2 living. The two children with them are Alberta M, age 5, and Robert B, age 2. His year of immigration is given as 1885, and Mary's as 1901. He is listed as naturalized.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In the 1920 US Census, there is an Albert Peverelle, married to Mary. They are now in Connecticut.

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Today I went to the National Archives in the UK to get some free downloaded documents. They are being made available free (up to 50 in a 30 day period) due to the archives being closed.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The first one I chose was the naturalization of my 4th great grandfather <a href="http://www.mylinktothepast.com/2012/03/lewis-anthony-joseph-napoleon-peverelle.html" target="_blank">Lewis Peverelle</a>. Years ago I viewed part of this document on the website of a Peverelli cousin. I am glad I downloaded this document, because it contained additional pages.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I then worked a bit more on adding additional sources to my Ancestry profile for Lewis. I added quite a few more directories, and also a couple Rate books.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I then took a look at the first Ancestry hint, which led me to a great gossipy tale, which I could not resist. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I had searched newspapers.com for all Peverelli in England. And got this delightfully gossipy tale in 1892 where Guiseppi Peverelli, who ran the Abbey Hotel in Liverpool testified in support of a man who had tried to divorce his wife. </span>Kris Hewitthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01901085198280731179noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-733163484619063905.post-39417843267134737802020-05-17T14:26:00.001-04:002020-05-17T14:26:06.840-04:00Jessie Isabelle Hardcastle <span style="font-size: large;">Today I spent some time looking into the Hardcastle family. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I had searched newspapers.com for all Peverelli in England. And got this delightfully gossipy tale in 1892 where Guiseppi Peverelli, who ran the Abbey Hotel in Liverpool testified in support of a man who had divorced his wife. The divorced wife was looking to overturn the divorce, claiming that her husband, Captain Attwood had committed adultery with their servant, Jessie Hardcastle. I saw that in the 1891 census, an Elizabeth Hardcastle, was listed as a servant living with Guiseppi Peverelli. It seems that there was some belief that Capt. Attwood was the father of a baby that Jessie Hardcastle had given birth to. Jessie testified in court that the baby was fathered by a John Smith (I kid you not!). Apparently there had been an earlier incident where the sister of Jessie had gone after Capt. Attwood with a revolver, for him having seduced her sister and gotten her with child.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I was very curious to see how this all played out. I found Jessie living with her sister , Sarah A Quayle, in the 1891 census. There was a 16 mth old baby boy there, presumably the son of Jessie. He is named Albert V Qayle, </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">There is an Albert Victor Hardcastle baptised in 1890. He was born 22 Nov 1889. No father is listed, this is almost definitely the baby in the story.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Jessie married in 1894 to a Howard Henry Allen.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In the 1901 census Jessie is with Howard Allen, and they appear to have 3 more children. Albert is listed as Albert Allen.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In the 1911 census Jessie is listed as married but her husband is not in the household. Albert is listed as Albert Victor Allen, and the two younger Allen sons are there. The daughter is not listed in the household. Jessie is working as a waitress in a carriage house.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It appears we may never know the truth about the father of Albert Victor, because sadly, I see that Jessie received a survivors pension because he died in WWI service in 1916. Sadly, another son of Jessie, Stanley Allen, also died in WWI service in 1916.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">FAttwood gave up on pressing the divorce. It appears to me that even his lawyer feels that he had Jessie perjure herself in her testimony and the judge appears to have believed that Capt. Attwood was the father of Jessie's child!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I even looked at the divorce file for Captain Attwood. I must say this is a GREAT source for genealogy. The divorce file had a copy of their marriage. And the story gets better. Apparently, before Captain Attwood married Maria Louisa in 1882, he had married a Harriet Chapman in 1874. Harriet Chapman was already married. According to the facts presented in the file, the divorce was cancelled in part because of this and in part because Capt Attwood was apparently still involved with Jessie after the decree nisi ....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In 1891 Maria Louisa is living with her two brothers. By the time of the 1901 census she is apparently married to George Wiggins, who appears to have some children from a previous marriage. Oddly, in the 1911 census, which was completed by George Wiggins, she is listed as having no children born to her. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Even odder, there is a marriage of Maria L Attwood to George W. Wiggins in 1922! They are listed together in the 1939 Register. Maria Louisa Wiggins died in 1950.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The file also specifies that Jessie had the baby 22 Nov 1889.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In 1901 Capt Attwood, age 50, is listed as married to Ethel M., age 23. His 17 year old daughter Flora is living with them.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This Ethel M is likely Ethel Maud Tinn, and she was committed for a time to a lunacy asylum from 31 Oct to 13 Dec in 1906 and (2 Mar 1908 to 5 Nov 1908). Ethel died in 1915.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">How was Jessie Hardcastle related to the servant of Guiseppe Peverelli?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

I updated the profile for him on my personal Ancestry tree, Geni, FamilySearch, my personal MyHeritage tree, and my <a href="http://www.mylinktothepast.com/2014/01/william-woodman-lloyd.html" target="_blank">blog page</a> for him.</span><div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I entered his burial info and his death date info.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I found his obit at newspapers.com and clipped it and saved it. </span><div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I added many city directories for him, which gave me a chance to check out MyHeritage's new city directory collection.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">At Geni, I noticed that altho I have attached it to the 1940 US Census, that isnt appearing in the "Sources" tab.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I was able to make a new page for his son <a href="http://www.mylinktothepast.com/2020/04/william-james-lloyd.html" target="_blank">William James Lloyd</a>.</span><div>
