    Bit of a quandary with the 1924 death in April. I can see on Ancestry WW Herbert and Catherine on a manifest

    Laconia leaving Liverpool for Boston 08 July 1913

    Johnson Herbert 24 Clerk b Oswaldsworth
    " Catherine 27 H /Wice b -

    Last permanent residence USA Waterto?n
    ​​
    Destination 70 ? Ave, E Waterto?n, Mass

    Then a manifest for same ship and date of 08/O7/1913 but not sure if that is the arrival date or departure. It is typed and overlays an Aliens Arrivals passenger list. This has Herbert on passenger list but then has list of 'not on board' which includes Mr H Johnson and Mrs Johnson.

    ​​​​Will look for later arrivals to Boston.

    I couldn't decide what the line was, maybe you are right and underline - although wonder what its purpose?

      But Minnie Tucker doesn’t sound the sort of lady who would (knowingly) Marry a bigamist?

      Why is nothing about this family straightforwards?

      I guess she may not know, if it was the case. The marriage was in Boston area and they are now in NY area.

      this can't death though, as the manifest must be written closer to July surely ?

        I did wonder about Herbert describing himself as 'single' when boarding with Minnie in 1920. Also last night noted a military naturalization record for Herbert. Need to look at that again. He was at that time ? I 917 in the 7th ?. He is recorded as single again

        • I am getting confused with him too. Just found him on manifest for Mauretania as clerk - so think the one I found with mechanic must be clerical error?

          I have a few records downloaded - that are confusing.



          He seems to be born Oswaldtwistle, then lived in Nelson - 259 Southfield St, born 11/8/1888 seems uncertain of his marital status, and have him as a foreman and an accountant/clerk/charity official (which kind of go together)

          I am going for crossings out on the sailing record, if this is him on another boat at same time!

              Hope you can read them. Petition for naturalisation 1918. Strange he actually says he is not married. Maybe for the purpose of the application it is not relevant if wife has died

              • he is saying he is single too many times for my liking, I reckon something is fishy! although no idea how you could even proceed with Catherine.

                  Your photos very useful for reference Carolyn


                  Same ticket no as the one with the occupation Clerk

                  So the couple were booked on the Laconia 08/07/1913 but didnt show

                  Herbert was booked on the Mauritania 08/071913 as a clerk
                  presumable did not show

                  Herbert was booked on the Mauritania 12/07/1913 . Will check out arrivals after that date EDIT I think you have that one Carolyn. Never quite sure if that is arrival or who has left the UK. Either way not with Catherine. I think she stayed in England

                      • oh doh I had that one - but stopped at Kathleen Johnson and thought it was mistranscribed! So she has come over on her own, and had ticket back together that wasn't used.

                        Maybe she did live and have children.

                        Lucky I revisited that record, I hadn't spotted her below him last night as was all crossed out.

                          • that is interesting, aww, so she did die. Fits better with the crossings, although still unsure why he thought he was single, but maybe it is easier to say that, as correct for pensions etc.

                            • I have found a newspaper article re another family member in 1921 and the were still at 259 Southfield Street, Nelson. Just in case anything is out there.

                              • I can't see anything additional on FMP. The brothers mentioned are likely to be Herbert, Arthur and ? James. Sister is Elizabeth Ellen m to Thomas Varley

                                Have looked at the Keans. Not throwing any links to Richard Kean Jnr. Even the visiting Soldier has no links I can see b Bombay to ?Parents Francis Mackay Colour Sergeant and Mary Jane King nee West. It is possible George Mackay was a fellow Soldier of Richard Kean Jnr

                                  I have the 1911 census - 10 born - 8 alive it says, just thought if anything found and address was quoted, was interesting to see that there were still there in 1921



                                  I couldn't find anything about George, I feel he must have a link as a visitor and not down as a boarder.

                                    It was sad to see memorial of brother Hugh. Only 18 years old when he died. Such brave young men.

                                    I would have hoped for a memorial for Catherine but then the children were much younger when (and if it is Catherine Kean) died

                                    That visiting Soldier is a puzzle. Think maybe one of Richard's brother's was in the military. Or was that Julie's thread.

                                    • Many thanks for looking.

                                      I’m just back from Cornwall, where Internet access was limited, but have been puzzling about this family while away...

                                      So far I’ve been concentrating on Richard Kean’s family and whereabouts, but it seems impossible to find any direct descendants... I can’t help wondering what became of his other daughter, Mary Agnes Kean? I’ve never been able to find a Death for her.

                                      Holly.

                                      • I looked for Mary Agnes and had no luck, don't know if Vera looked.

                                        Richard is certainly looking good for morphing into someone else as he seems to have vanished.

                                          And of course William James Wilson is nowhere to be found before 1893!
