Notes

Email from Doug Toms:
I tried to verify some data that you sent to me on the family of Elizabeth Susan Woollett and her husband Tom Furness. The names you gave for the children didn't match all the names in the BC Vital Events records on the internet. I finally found a 1901 census for New Westminster, BC, Canada which listed the family names in order of birth dates. Here are the children, all born in New Westminster, BC, Canada:

1. Henry Hubert born 12Aug1887. He died 18Sep1969 in New Westminster, BC
2. Margaret Ethyl born 27Dec1888. She married Joseph Coates 18Nov1914 in New Westminster, BC. She died 20May1983
3. George William born 06July1890. He married Mabel Isabell Adams 23June1920 in New Westminster, BC. He died 04Apr1962 in New Westminster, BC
4. Edith Henrietta born 28Feb1892
5. Thomas Howard born 01Aug1893. He married Vida Newman 17mar1921 at New Westminster, BC. He died 18N0v1958 in New Westminster, BC
6. Ernest Cecil born 04Mar1896. He married Jessie Simpson 22Sep1920 in Victoria, BC. He died 04Jan1978 in Nanaimo, BC
7. Charles Frederick born 08June1897. He married Laura Francis Simpson 06Nov1920 in New Westminster, BC. He died 18Jum1955 in New Westminster, BC
8. Claudia May Ann born 13Jun1899
9. Lillian Beatrice born 11Jan1901. She married James Sowerby 22June1929 in Powell River, BC.
10. Franklin Joseph born 04May1902. He died 19May1979 in Port Coquitlam, BC
11. Clarence Albert born 03Aug1903. He died 12Mar1981 in New Westminster, BC

These dates are all on the BC Vital Events web site.

Franklin & Clarence are, of course, not noted on the 1901 Census but I believe they belong to this family because they were born in New Westminster and the birth dates are very logical. Unfortunately the 1911 Census cannot be sorted by surname so I cannot readily confirm my assumptions. Also they are not in my direct line so I don't want to put additional effort into confirming them.
