My gg-grandfather Edward born1848 in Church Stretten to William Garner (note surname spelling) & Ellen Adams. He married Ann Lawly in 1870, surname spelled Gardner on record. I have the 1871 census for them. They had children Frederick William (born 1871 Shrewsbury), Mary Ellen (born 1873 Atcham) & Goody Selena (born 1874 Union Workhouse). He emmigrated in 1879-1880 with his son. I find border crossing record for Frederick from Canada into USA in 1880, but have not found for Edward. Then have 2nd marriage of Edward in 1880 in USA. I find the 1881 census records for the two daughters in Union Workhouse. 1891, Selena is a domestic servant in a private home. Mary Ellen/Helen is still in the workhouse with a daughter, Mable. She later has another child, Lucy. I have the marriages of all three of the children & their families thereafter.

What I am looking for is any record of Ann Lawly Gardner after 1874. Also, is there any record indicating when Edward emmigrated. In the 1871 census, it says he worked for the railway. Another person has posted in his tree a newspaper clipping that says Edward Gardner of Sutton Lane, Shrewsbury, no longer responsible for any debts that my wife, Ann Gardner, may contract after this date--dated Feb 11, 1874.

Surname spellings - Gardner, Garner, Gardiner, Gardener

Any info that you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Peggy, I've done some research for you, and i think that Ann (nee Lawley) Gardner probably when ingocnito after 1874.  I could only find a possible sighting of her in the 1881 Cens.

Much of the below you will know already, But the baptism's might be new to you & Edward was listed as a Labourer in 1874. I do have a lot more info on Ann Lawley's siblings if you would like it.

Best Regards

Thank you for all this added information. Do you know where I can get some info on the Union Workhouse? Mary Ellen seems to have lived there most of her life. I have record of another daughter, Lucy, born to her in 1893. In 1895, she marries a George Bowdler & they have family together with Mabel & Lucy taking on his last name.

I would love to have more information on Ann Lawley's famly. I do have 1851, 1861 & 1871 census. I wonder about the relationship of the William "Andrewich", age 4 on 1861 census & William Anderson, age 14, boarder on 187 census. I sense they are one & same.

With appreciation,

Peggy
