Family History:Grandma & Grandpa Dawkins

This is the only picture I’ve seen of my great-great Grandma Dawkins(that I can remember).

The order of things:

Elizabeth D.

Lillian (Dawkins) Carleton

Marion (Carleton) North

Andrew North

Me

She and her husband, Edwin, moved from New Berton On Trent, England to Dryden, Ontario, when my great-Grandma Lillian was four. They had at least 3 other children: Annie, Florence, and Lucy. Grandma North lived far away and never got to meet Elizabeth. She met Edwin once, though, after she had married, and was moving away from her family home in Orkney, Saskatchewan to Simco, Ontario. The train she and grandpa were on stopped near where Edwin and his second wife lived(grandma couldn’t remember her name); so they had a brief visit. Her step-grandmother fixed tea; and grandma remembers that Edwin put milk and sugar in his wife’s tea for her. :)

That’s all for now! I will try to include more pictures(than just one)in the next post.
