For some reason he's not listed next to his mother, but this seems to be Vera's son accompanying her in 1953:

I am Sorry if I've give the wrong impression

I didn't expect so much info,I'm just putting it in place, I think the 1911 census through me a bit with May Clegg Niece ,

I've found it really interesting how you can get so much, think I just thought she'd be travelling with family and that would be the end of it.

All this takes some digesting

Thank you

You don't sound too interested in what we found, Sylann! You did ask why Kezia went to USA. We have proved that she went to visit her daughter Vera who married R.L. Overholser.

Thank you for all that

Don't know how you do it but it is appreciated

Sylvia

I gave you the birth for Vera in 1922 so she would not be on the 1911

jax

Please Carry on talking to each other I'll come in when you have sorted it out
I only have the 2 children on the 1911 census not looked into other children yet

Thank you :-)

Edit - looks like I was right then :-D

Hi Sylann, as I stated above she's going to visit a daughter - could that be the child who's not with the family in 1911?

EDIT: Have looked at the 1911 and according to that, she'd only had the two children who are both still alive, and they are shown with her and Alfred.

So, I don't see how a child could have been with grandparents?

She says she's going to visit daughter V. Overholser, 109 17th. Ave., Sterling, Illinois. Does that name mean anything to you?

Thank you for all that,

The trip doesn't tell me anything unless she was going to visit a family member ?

But I can look into her death a bit more may be find out where she is buried

Hi Sylann, I've added some further info to my first post (I'd missed the second page!).

Who was the child with grandparents in 1911? Might that be the daughter who eventually went to America?
