Catching up: Jane Severns--Grangers 14 adding.

Post by gardener »

Hi! Things have moved on and no one told me!

https://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/t ... ver=664415

So Jane (Severns) Rose remarried and then died in 1931. Great to tie up that end at last!

Informant at death was B Flavell
And the burial infor says "10th September 1931 Brandwood End Cemetary Birmingham
Jane CURNOCK - 74- Female- 7 Lifford Cottages Kings Norton B'ham - ( died at Selly Oak infirmary)"

Which sort of fits with:
Census 1921
Residence Street Address 4 Lifford Cottages, Kings Norton
Albert Flavell 30 Years 3 Months Head
Betsy Ann Flavell 29 Wife
Albert Flavell 5 Years 8 Months Son

But I see this birth

Births Sep 1915
Flavell Albert Crowther Kings N 6d 79

and marriage

Marriages Sep 1911
BARLOW Ernest G Birmingham 6d 278
Crowther Beatrice Birmingham 6d 278
Flavell Albert E Birmingham 6d 278
Marshall Beatrice E Birmingham 6d 278


Is B Flavell Beatrice or Betsy Ann? And how is she Jane's daughter?

It looks as though they might have emigrated to Canada later? In which case, Albert born 1915 names his grandmother and I think she is this one
https://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/t ... ver=664415 Annie in the 1921 census but Hannah here.

I'm confused :-)

Added
OK, I found that madly long thread :-) Still wondering what the connection is

That is brilliant thanks gardener

So no marriage to Crowther only to Curnock for Jane.

The marriage on BCC is fine:

Marriage 15th June 1919 St Peter Walsall
George Curnock- 68- Widower- Carpenter- 14 Littleton St- John Curnock Deceased- Carpenter
Jane Rose - 62 Widow - 31 Day St - George Severns Deceased -Collier
Banns
Both signed
Wits- William Hill /x of Mary Davis

She was Jane Rose and widowed, William had only just died in April that year.
The 1921 census for Jane looks right except she says she is head of household and widowed, but George seems to die a couple of years later.
In 1921 I think he is with other Curnocks, as a widower. Bit odd, you are right there.

Name George Curnock
Gender Male
Marital Status Widowed
Age 70 Years 6 Months
Relation to Head Boarder
Estimated Birth Year 1851
Birth Place Worcestershire, England
Residence Date 1921
Residence Street Address 156 Green Lane, Walsall

Rose Curnock 34 Years 9 Months Wife (says Husband Head but travelling)
Alice Curnock 12 Years 3 Months Daughter
William Curnock 7 Years 7 Months Son
Rose Curnock 2 Years 9 Months Daughter
George Curnock 70 Years 6 Months Boarder born Great Malvern

Rose seems to be married to William - is he a son? ADDED I think so. William Charles Curnock bpt. 10 Feb 1882, parents George and Anne Maria

1911
72 Oxford St, Pleck, Walsall
William Curnock 28 Head
Rose Curnock 25 Wife
Alice Curnock 2 Daughter


Maybe Jane and George married but then just split up and he went to live with his son? So they were not together in 1921. Does that make sense?

This one is right for age

Crowther Charles 66 Burnley 8e 177

Birth
1851
Death
3 Nov 1917 (aged 65–66)

Don't know what he would be doing there though and I think it probably isn't him

There is a marriage for Annie Crowther to Richard Brittain in 1911 at Birmingham (on ancestry) it might have some names on it?
I suppose we are assuming that Charles Crowther died between the 1911 census and Jane's 1919 marriage, but she could have just moved out?

Marriage. Freereg.
13th August 1871. Christ Church, West Bromwich.
Charles Crowther, 20, B, Bricklayer, West Bromwich, Edward Crowther, Bricklayer
Emma Clarke, S, 19, West Bromwich, George Clarke, Farm Labourer

I think this is the same Charles although it states bachelor on the second marriage. First Marriage note, William Waldon as a witness, his bother is William and was born before his parents marriage.
