Source3: The FreeBMD site for England and Wales lists a June 1869 birth registration for Susan Annie Eason in the Shoreditch district, Vol 1c, page 78. (The Shoreditch district spanned the counties of London and Middlesex at that time).
Source4: The birth registration index lists three Eason girls (Susan Annie, Sarah Catherine and Emily Henrietta) registered at the same time in the Shoreditch district, Vol 1c, on pages 78 and 79.
Could these girls actually be (triplets?) Susan, Laura and Emma?
The FreeBMD site for England and Wales also lists a June 1869 birth registration for a Sarah Catherine Eason in the Shoreditch district, Vol 1c, page 78.
According to my father, Ron Cunneyworth, Susan had another sister Rose in Chicago. She also had a sister Lena in Toronto, married to Thomas Hall, and had several children, including Gladys and Harvel Hall. Harvel ("Harvey"?) had a florist shop on a corner of Ossington Street. She also had brothers Ollie and Fred Eason. Both my father and Lil Sidon recall a "Lottie" Eason, but did not know the actual relationship to Susan.
According to Vicki Hill, great-granddaughter of Ernest Edgar Eason, Susan had siblings: Laura (George William Potter), Emma Jane (William Busby), Ernest Edgar (Margaret Adams), Fredrick James (Charlotte Lavin, Mary Hannah), William Oliver (Alma Bemis), Rose Ellen, Leonora Mary Ann (Thomas Townley Hall), Charles Thomas Erlen, and Joe. In 1946 "Aunt Susie" signed a declaration for the birth registration of her brother Fredrick. In the declaration she says she got her information f rom the family bible.
L. Pattinson first informed me that Susan had a sister, Emma. Ms. Pattinson cautioned that she found Emma's marriage transcription on the internet, so it has not been verified:
The Ontario Vital Statistics Project's Ontario Marriage Registrations 1869-1917, Ontario Archives, microfilm MS 932, lists George and "Susie" as witnesses to Susan's sister Emma's marriage to William Busby:
14553-85 William BUSBY, 21, lather, Berkshire England, Toronto, s/o George & Sarah, married Emma EASON, 21, Brighton England, Toronto, d/o Joseph & Eliza, witn: George W. CUNNEYWORTH & Susie EASON, both of Toronto, 6 Oct. 1885
Emma & William were witnessess for Laura's wedding. Emma's age is also listed as 21.
Susan had a sister Laura who married a George William Potter in Toronto c. Nov 17, 1885, the day before Susan's wedding.
Interesting facts: Susan and Laura both married a George William. Emma also married a William. Susan and Laura were married by the same minister (Alex Williams), their new brother-in-law William Busby was a witness at both weddings, and their marriage registration records appear on the same page (795) of the Marriages Schedule. Emma, Laura and Susan all listed their age as 21. Alex Williams was also the minister who married George William's father, George Cunneyworth Sr., to his second wife, Lizette Roe, one year later.
George William, age 23 (born in Toronto), and Susan, age 21 (born in Greenwich, England), were married in Toronto c. Nov 18, 1885, according to their marriage registration record. Religious denominations for both are both are noted as Church of England. George is listed as a U?(or N?)RR fireman. Witnesses: William Busby and Jessie Leonard. The marriage was performed by Alex Williams.
George worked as a railway fireman, G.T.R. (Grand Trunk Railway) in 1888, when the family lived at 564 King St. (source: Lizzetta's VS birth record)
In Eliza Jane's VS birth record, George is listed as a labourer in 1890, and his address is given as 564 (574? or 674?) King St. (Refer also to address of 564 King St. for Lizzetta Cunneyworth and William Percival Heard).
