I may not have been an option for percy to take the girls until he had a wife.

I believe it was frowned upon for men to bring up young girls alone.

Dont know who Richard was? could he be a younger brother?

jax

It's all very interesting stuff - not quite the outcome I had hoped for but without all your fantastic help I never would have been able to discount Jennie/Queenie so BIG THANKS to you all!

I will carry on with my search for Jessie - I'm sure I'll find that missing link of info (one day...............!!)

Thanks for all your help guys!! :-D

Will keep looking myself I'm sure she will turn up

According to the G.R.Withrow family tree on Ancestry:-

Percy died 10 Dec 1946 Calgary Alberta
Queenie/Jennie ,Kathleen Mary and Dorothy Dordeen are included in his tree
No spouse on record for Queenie/Jennie
Kathleen Mary died 21 Jan 1968 Pine City Pine Minnesota USA

blimey, Percy lived to a good age as did Jennie/Queenie (must be the Canadian air)!!

what a wonderful tool this message board is!!

Do you have Jessie's date of birth having trouble finding any Faulkner childrens births

Did she die after 1969?

jax

I have her date of birth as 25 December 1903 but no proof as no birth cert.

Re: the Faulkner children. I have birth certs for:
Rachel
William
Florence &
Rosina

but cannot find birth certs for
Edward
Charles
Jessie &
John

I think the last three children are not natural children of William and Louisa Faulkner (nee Quaintrell). Indeed, John was born in 1909 and he is not on the 1911 census.

Jessie died around 1984 ish

I've been searching for her for about 2 years now and seem to go round in circles!!! :-(

Death record

Jessie Reed born 25 Dec 1903

Died Q4 1987 aged 83

reg district - Tower Hamlets ref 14 1053

Yes, that's her!!

Ummmm

I will have another look later unless someone finds her in the meantime

jax

thank you Jax :-D

Just to say a big THANKYOU to Chris and Jax for all their help yesterday.

I shall continue to look for my grandma, Jessie Faulkner, every tiny step is a little step closer but with the help and expertise from you guys the job is just that little bit easier (and much more fun!!)

Thank you once again!!

Jenny :-D
