Daughters

Family
Martha Carlton - born 1902. Married Alfred Norris. Their son George married Mary Dunford.
MAY ELLEN - born 25 May 1883, Dover, Kent. There is a Dover record of marriage in the December quarter of 1901 of May Ellen Laslett to Frederick Robert White. There is a family story about a "boy friend" she abandoned when he went off to fight in the Boer War. May next appears in Toronto where she married Edward Belsey and had three children all believed to be born in Toronto. Her grandson Chuck Currie is researching the family history. The next we know of May is that she moved to Walkerville, Canada sometime before 1911 and reverted to her maiden name, where she met and married Samuel (Curry) Currie in Toronto on 27 November 1911. Chuck says ‘the story is that my grandmother changed the spelling of Curry to Currie when she married my grandfather - one explanation is that it appeared to be English, rather than Irish, but that is just part of the mystery.’ Samuel was born February 12, 1889 at Lisburn, Ireland. Chuck further says ‘They all immigrated to the U.S. on June 13, 1922 via Windsor, Canada and Detroit, Michigan, aboard the Detroit & Windsor Ferry. They traveled by train to Lennox, California (if you ever fly into Los Angeles International, you will fly directly over Lennox just before you touch down) where some of their Canadian friends had moved earlier. They soon moved to Hawthorne, CA - the next town south - where they purchased a small house that my grandfather, a journeyman carpenter, remodeled and expanded over the years. They lived in this house until they each passed away - Sam in 1950 and May in 1974.
