Affleck/Follett ancestry, England, <1870
I'm looking for my Affleck and Follett ancestry in England.
On 1 June 1876 at the parish church in Woolwich, England, Wiliam Affleck wed
Anne Follett.They had two children:
1.Susan Jessie Affleck, who was born 16 February 1877 in Cork, Ireland.She
married Edward Beagle.
2.Elizabeth Ellen Affleck, who was born 3 October 1878 at Richmond Barracks,
Palmerston, South Dublin, Ireland.She had one daughter out of wedlock (my
grandmother who was sent to Canada), and afterwards married Walter Lawrence
Loomes.
My suspicion is that William was in the military and stationed in Ireland at
the time of his daughter's births.Annie died (at some point) and Walter
married as his second wife Catherine Josephine Lilley (who was the proverbial
evil stepmother according to family legend).It was she who trundled my
grandmother off to Canada on a ship of orphans.
