Possible parents ??

EDIT: But 1911 , although scored out because she's a widow, it says Mary Jane had had 5 children, all still living. Maybe she'd forgotten about poor little Frances.

The other sister, Mary Ann Everest (shown in 1881 census above - born Wadhurst, Sussex) is with her uncle and aunt Henry and Ann Everest (brother and sister) in 1891.

In 1901 she's with her illegitimate daughter Kate O'Connor Everest, and her (cousin ?) Alice Eldridge nee Everest and Alice's son Charlie William Eldridge, in Tunbridge.

In 1911, she's in Tunbridge with her aunt Martha Everest, her daughter Kate O'Connor Everest, her nephew Charlie William Eldridge, and a lodger.

In 1939 she's retired and in Tunbridge - still unmarried.
She probably died in 1953 in Maidstone reg district.


Her daughter Kate married Harry E Lindridge in 1919, and died in 1981 in Tunbridge.
she doesn't appear to have had any children.

So there doesn't seem to be any living family of little William Henry - at least not descendants of his siblings.


Charlie William Eldridge is still single in 1939, in Chatham, Kent, a carpenter.

I don't see his death, nor any marriage.
