pm from Anne:

"Thank you, I think Clara maybe the daughter, all confused now.
No mention of Walter though. I think Martha had a sister named Sibley, she died in her teens I think. "

Can we find Sibley (Sibyl?) for Anne?

Yes, Elizabeth nee Barlow. That could be the answer.
Never thought of that!
Thanks .

Martha's mother Elizabeth was born about 1825, so this could well be her death:

Deaths Sep 1868
Emmett Elizabeth 43 Bradford,Yk. 9b 127

Same year Clara born? Could Martha have brought Clara up seeing as she was so much older?

enna

enna Report 30 Mar 2011 21:13

Yes, I always thought it was Emmett. (We must have croissed paths on that one!) Sorry.
Any idea where she maybe buried? I know I am pushing it now!
Thank you.

With her widowed father in 1871, who is a Post Office letter carrier:

** The Clara b 1868 may well be Martha's daughter, but there is also quite wide intervals between Martha's siblings so difficult to say.

This could be her birth:

(Probably Emmett on the original image)

Astra Report 30 Mar 2011 21:06

No the powell is a mistranscription which is why it has been amended at the top of the image.

Interestingly enough there is a Thomas Grayson age 75 living next door to her in 1881. I wonder if he is her future husband's father?

MarieCeleste

MarieCeleste Report 30 Mar 2011 21:06

Anne - the 1881 is just a mistranscription of very bad writing on the original form.

The name on the original IS Emmett, as patchem says.

patchem

patchem Report 30 Mar 2011 21:05

No, she is Emmett on the image, it has been mis-transcribed as Powell, which is why the correct name has been suggested in brackets.

enna Report 30 Mar 2011 21:03

Dear all,
I just don't get this at all. She was born Emmett then was Powell in 1881 and married William Grayson in 1882.
Very strange.
Thanks to all. x

It is Emmett NOT Powell on the image.
