Re: PS to Wm and Kate Pickavance..CHARLESTON, WEST VIRGINIA
SLC crowley 12/08/02
Kate Pickavance nee Holden and her husband SAMUEL PICKAVANCE did not emigrate to the US...
I found their grandson DENNIS PICKAVANCE and talked to his wife today..
Kate died when her only child JOSEPH was about 3 or 4 and SAMUEL died when Joseph was about 12..Joseph went to live with a uncle name UNKNOWN and ran away from his house when he was about 14 and joined the service and fought in WW1. He was connected to a unit that had horses and is credited with saving his commanding officers life ...the commanding office gave him a pistol for this and the pistol is still in the family to this day...
JOSEPH married a ETHEL WILSON daughter of WM WILSON a stone cutter of ST HELENS sometime befor 1926 at [they believe]Sacred Heart RC Church in St Helens Joseph converting to Catholic...Joseph and Ethel went to Canada and came into the US through Canada...they settled in Charleston WV and Joseph worked in the glass factory there...they had 1 son DENNIS br about 1927-28 in Charleston...
The info I gave in the other post was given to me by cousin in the UK's mother...it was remembering not quite right that was posted..since a phone call today got me the correct info I wanted to post correct info..
