Looking for Children of Lloyd and Nile Daniels and Edward and Laura "Dolly" Brown

Hi everyone, here's the information on Caspar's children. 
 
Someone asked me about the death of Caspar’s first wife, Julia Canfield.  I cannot find any information on her death. It is assumed she died prior to Caspar’s second marriage in 1897. It would appear that Laura was quite young when her mom died.

As I mentioned, Caspar had 2 children, a boy, Charles C. and a girl, Laura Louise. In one and only one source Charles middle name, Canfield, is mentioned. Whether that is correct or not I’m uncertain. 

Charles 
Charles followed in his father’s footsteps and became a tug master in Santa Clara, California. He married Annabel Pate about July 14, 1900. I say about because took out the marriage license on the 14th but I can’t find out the exact date of his marriage. Annabel was born in the same place in Michigan as Caspar so perhaps the families knew each other already. Charles and Annabel had only one child, Nile Catherine, who was born May 18, 1901, 10 months after their marriage. There isn’t much else about this family except that Annabel seemed to do her civic duty as she was registered to vote in many elections.  At the age of 76 Charles died (December 15, 1945) but I can’t find the death of Annabel. She was 9 years younger than Charles and likely died later than him.

Their daughter, Nile, married Lloyd Daniels in 1924. They had 2 children, George and Luann. George was born in 1927 and Luann in 1929. It’s quite possible they are still living. If anyone knows of them or their descendants please contact me. 

Laura Louise 
Laura is “cousin Dolly” that Kay Corbett, my 2nd cousin twice removed from British Columbia talked about. In 1907 Dolly took a ship up to Victoria and visited them. Cousin Phoebe also went to San Francisco around 1923 and even talked of moving down there she liked it so much. 

Laura married Albert Emil Brown on November 23, 1910 in San Francisco. They had 1 child, either Dora or Doris who was born in 1914. She isn’t living with Laura and Edward in the 1940 census so she most likely married between 1930 and 1940. It’s possible also that she died in that time period.  If anyone knows anything about her please contact me.

Dolly kept up a correspondence with her cousin, Phoebe Field (nee Titchworth) in Metchosin, British Columbia. Dolly may have travelled to B.C but she was born, lived, and died in San Francisco. She died on September 6, 1959. Albert Brown is a very common name and it’s hard to figure out when he died.

Next week I'll tell you how Caspar is related to us.

Henry Alexander Miller 1876-1948

Henry Miller Henry Alexander Miller is my father's grandfather. His obituary calls him Harry but since every other record refers to him as Henry that’s what I’ll call him . He was born to Thomas and Catherine Miller (nee Young) on April 9, 1876 in Kinloss, Bruce County, Ontario . Henry was the 10th of 12 children. One wonders if his mother had much energy left to raise him after having so many children. In fact Thomas and Catherine were so busy with their farm and kids that they sent a neighbour to register Henry’s birth. He registered the name incorrectly, telling the registrar the baby’s name was Alexander instead of Henry Alexander. He got the parents' names right so I was able to identify him. By the time Henry was born Bruce County, Ontario was settled and had many amenities like a grist mill and store to make life easier. As a child Henry would have had many farm chores to do so working hard was instilled in him at an early age.  When he was ready to move...

Henry Alexander Miller and Margaret Ann McCall

Harry and Maggie Miller and their Children Country dances were a social event in rural Canada. People would gather at someone's home, in a barn, or in later years at a hall to socialize, dance and drink, even bringing their children. One person I talked to told the story of how a couple of men who liked to play practical jokes switched the blankets covering all the infants. When it was time to go home the mothers grabbed the baby with the right blanket only to discover later it wasn't her child. I gather it took a while to sort it all out. Music was provided by anyone in the community who could play, a fiddler or two, possibly a piano or harmonica. Dances included the schottische, waltzes, polkas and of course square dancing.  When I asked Dad if he ever attended a country dance he enthusiastically responded, "Did I?". By the 1950's dances were held regularly but they still had live music. And of course   drinking and with that came fighting. I recall one of...

Giving Up a Dream

Image
My Great Grandad Jerry had a goal. He wanted to be a farmer on his own land. His grandfather, William Jerry and his wife Hannah, moved from Norfolk, England to Pickering, Ontario, Canada in the 1830s. They moved to a country where they could afford to purchase land rather than working as an agricultural labourer. Herbert Jerry (holding gun) with parents and 3 brothers   Grandad Jerry’s proper name was James Herbert Jerry, but everyone called him Herb. He grew up in a family that was very poor. They needed money so badly, that according to the story that my grandmother told me, when he turned 11 he was hired out to work on the farm of Mr. James Ballard. On his first day of work Mr. Ballard sent him home and told him not to return until his ripped and torn pants were replaced. The sight of Grandad in is ragged clothes had brought blushes to Mr. Ballard's daughters. The family was so desperate for money that his mother and sisters stayed up all night hand sewing him a new pair of pa...
