Child #5 – Eliza Ann Stoneman

I’m looking forward to the release of the 1911 Census to find out more about Eliza. For now, this is all I have on her.

Birth Index of England – Eliza Ann Stoneman, 3rd quarter, 1872

1881 Census – England – Eliza A. Stoneman, age 8, b. in Illogan, scholar

1891 Census – England – Elizabeth A. Stoneman, age 18. b. in Illogan

Marriage Index of England – Eliza Ann Stoneman and Walter Pascoe, 1st quarter, 1893

1901 Census – England – Eliza Ann Pascoe, husband – Walter, age 28, b. in Illogan, living in Falmouth

                 They have 3 children at this time:

                  John R. age 6, b. in Falmouth

                  Grace J., age 4, b. in Falmouth

                  Millicent, age 9 months, b. in Falmouth

           Her sister, Louisa Stoneman, age 19, is also living with them.

Child #4 – Anna Matilda Stoneman

The first time I started researching Anna, or Annie as I’ve come to know her, was when I found her listed as a surviving sister in the obituary of Mary Ann. I was a bit confused because it says her name is Mrs. Annie Stoneman. But I thought if she’s a sister and she is a Mrs., she would have a different last name. So my first thought was that she is a sister-in-law. So I looked in the 1930 Census in Negaunee and sure enough, she is there as Annie Stoneman. But she has a son living with her with the last name of Kent. Then I found her in the 1920 Census as Anna Kent and she is divorced.  I think it is interesting that she lived in the next town to where I grew up and I never heard my mom even mention her or her family.  Here is all I’ve found on her and her family:

Birth Index of England – 1st quarter, 1871, Anna Matilda Stoneman

1871 Census of England – Anna M. 3 mo. old

Marriage Index of England – 4th quarter, 1890 Anna Matilda Stoneman and William Henry Kent

1891 Census of England – Annie Matilda Kent, age 20 , wife of William H. Kent

1901 Census of England – Annie M. Kent, age 30, married and head of household, one child Cecil A. Kent, age 9

1910  U.S. Census – Negaunee, Michigan – Annie Kent, age 39, head of household, married, four children living with her: Cecil Kent, age 18; Albert Kent, age 15; Arthur Kent, age 2 1/2; Fernley Kent, age 2 months.

1920 U.S. Census – Negaunee, Michigan – Anno M. Kent, age 48, head of household, divorced, immigrated in 1907, two children living with her: Edvin A. Kent, age 12 and Fernley Kent, age 9

1930 U.S. Census – Negaunee, Michigan – Annie Stoneman, age 58, head of household, one child living with her: Fernly Kent, age 20.

Child #3 Mary Ann Harriet Stoneman

This is my Great-grandma Mary Ann that my mother spoke of often. I have already included several pictures and info about her in other posts.  This picture was taken by my dad, Jack Williams, as an assignment when he was in photography school.

 

 

Birth Certificate

 

I found her in each of the following census in Illogan, Cornwall, England:

Each of them states she was born in Illogan.

1871 – age 2

1881 – age 11

1891 – age 21

This is not an official  Marriage Certificate, but the one most likely filled out by the minister who performed the marriage.

I found her in each of the following census in Michigan:

1900 – age 30, immigrated in 1893, residence – Snow Street

1910 – age 40, residence – Barn Street

1920 – age 50, residence says it is Man Street, but I think it is an error because there are listings on the same page for Barn Street.

1930 – age 60, residence is 316 Barn Street. She has her daughter Hilda, who is a widow, and her two children, Thomas and Ruth, living with them.

Obituary, dated March 17, 1947

Her Death Certificate has an error. Her mother’s maiden name is really Mary Ann Harriet Richards. Her grandmother’s maiden name is Eliza Jeffery.
