In my previous Blog, I looked at Abel Burrows<\/a>, the husband of Mary Ann Hartley. He died in 1903, so that was a natural ending for that Blog. I’ll look to see what else the Fall River newspapers have to say about my relatives after 1903 in this Blog. In my previous Blog, by looking at Abel, I found out some more about other relatives, such as the Hartley family who visited him and he visited in Rochester. Also, of course, I learned about his wife, Mary Ann. I’ll look some more at Mary Ann in this Blog.<\/p>\n

This article raises some questions. What relatives did she visit? I assume that they were Bacup relatives on the Emmet side.\u00a0 Mary Ann Hartley was born in Bacup where her mother Ann Emmet was from. She could have also visited Abel Burrows’ relatives. Mary Ann returned on the SS Saxonia on September 8. This was the same ship that Abe Pilling and his family took to England a few years previous. Here the ship is called the RMS Saxonia:<\/p>\n

I wonder if Bank St is a typo. I have her at Oak Street in the 1906 Fall River Directory:<\/p>\n

There is an Island Park Beach and Island Park Cove in Portsmouth, RI not too far from Fall River.<\/p>\n

According to the 1900 Census, Mary Cowgill was a widow living with her son William Marshall at 210 Franklin Street, Fall River.<\/p>\n

There is a Riverside Drive on the current Google Map of Tiverton:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Annie Hartley was born November 1902, so she would be 9. Margaret was born May 1906, so she would be just 6 years old. Florence and Mildred were Mary Ann’s granddaughters. Florence was 12 and 8. That leaves Sadie Edmundson of Providence. Who is she?<\/p>\n

Here she is in 1910:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sarah or Sadie was born in Massachusetts which makes sense. Sadie was actually born in 1897 in Fall River. Her father was a barber. The mother was Elizabeth Barlow. I think that William was from Blackburn, Lancashire so perhaps a friend of the Burrows family?<\/p>\n

Actually, this newpaper article from the Fall River Evening News from 8 September 1905 sheds some light:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I assume that means that Mary Ann’s relationship was with Elizabeth Barlow who was a Draper before she was an Edmundson. Here is Orange Street:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

More on Walter Draper<\/h3>\n

Although Walter is said to be born in Rhode Island in the Census above, I find a record of his birth in Fall River on June 22, 1885. His father was Oswald, a weaver. As might be expected, Oswald died in 1894. At that time, he was a restaurant keeper. Elizabeth Barlow Draper then married William Edmundson in 1897. It was William’s second marriage also. One question is why was Mary Ann Walter’s guardian if Elizabeth remarried? As may be guessed, Walter Draper poses more questions than answers.<\/p>\n

This could be Walter’s grave stone:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is interesting unless it is coincidental. My third great-grandmother Mary Pilling’s mother was a Shackleton. I take this to be the same Walter:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is a photo that gives some dates of these burial mates:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Edmundson can be explained. He was Walter’s step father. Albert Shackleton married Sarah. The Shakleton name looks like a coincidence. These Shackletons were from Yorkshire, so perhaps distantly related to my Lancashire Shackletons. However, none of this suggests why Mary Ann Hartley Burrows would be the guardian of Walter Draper.<\/p>\n

2 December 1920<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I have that Mary Ann was born 30 April 1855, so she would be 65 in 1920. Findagrave.com has her birth on 1 December 1854, so that makes more sense.<\/p>\n

3 March 1921<\/h4>\n

I like these pleasant little articles:<\/p>\n

Again, I think by Marion is actually meant Rochester. Here is a photo with Mary – possibly from that trip:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I believe Mary Ann is to the left of my grandmother. My grandmother is near the middle of the photo and has dark hair and is holding a child – probably my Aunt Sybil. My Aunt Sybil was born 8 September 1920, so the photo may be from 1922. Here is a close-up of Mary Ann:<\/p>\n
