Hi Kath,
Long time since we were in touch.I checked with Lloyd's shipping and Thomas Sykes went missing of the coast of Prince Edward Island on 14.11.1881. The ship called "Dot" was travelling from Canada to Cardiff with oats,left on 8.11.1881 passed through the straits of Canso on Nov 14, and was not heard of after that. Thomas was the boatswain.
Dec 1885 Mary Sykes marries Robert Axon (ironfounder) and 1891 census they are at 39 Bamford Street, Heaton Norris.
By 1901, Mary was widow and living at 22a Love Lane, Stockport.
I hope you are all well, I have now retired from work so will have more time for Family tree. Any more news on the Axons?
Best Wishes
Gail Richardson
