Thanks,my apologies for not replying sooner but I have been having local connection problems of late.I have marriages etc for Emma and Maud but it would appear William was still alive in 1905?Whilst the death for young Rose Hannah is probably the one,I'm just wishing to check of course that William and Rose Hannah did not have any more children.

Regards
William Russell Jones.

Someone has a tree on Ancestry and Emma did marry in 1901 in Bolton to Sidney Morbey.............. so I think you need to look at the Bolton area for Rose and maybe William???

Thanks,the 1911 entry is a little puzzling showing Rose as still married,she apparently marries the Irving Boyes the next year!

William Report 22 Sep 2011 10:49

My relative William Arthur Conway was born in Mow Cop Staffordshire in c 1863.He married a Mary Smallwood at Congleton Cheshire in 1884.This Mary died for William Arthur then married a Rose Hannah Dickens at Nantwich Cheshire in 1896.There may have been at least one child a Rose Hannah Conway born in 1897.

My problem is not being able to find William and/or Rose in the 1901 Census.I also have not been able to find a death for this William either.As for Rose Hannah she was apparently born in Crewe Cheshire in c 1877.She shows in the 1911` Census Index in the Leeds District of Yorkshire where she apparently remarries in 1912.

William Russell Jones.
