    Charles's WW I draft registration card is dated 12 Sep 1918; his address is given as 34 Cassius, New Haven, CT; wife Doris E. Andrews; age 32, occupation assembler at Trego Motor Co.

    In the 1920 census, Charles and Doris are living in New Haven. George is 5 months old. Byron and Ethel Hale are living with them -- identified as brother-in-law and sister-in-law. Ethel, born in England, must be sister of Doris.

  1. 4.  James E. Andrews was born 14 Sep 1864, RI (son of William ANDREWS and Eliza Jane EDWARDS); died 22 Sep 1936.

    Notes:

    He was known as "Uncle Jim." My dad says Jim and his wife divorced.

    In 1900, the family is living in Pawtucket: James 36, Margaret 43, Charles 14, and Nora E. 13. James and Margaret have been married 15 years, and he is a motorman.

    In 1910, the family is living in Central Falls.

    James married Margaret Maggie Frances Barry 27 Nov 1884, Providence, RI. Margaret (daughter of Garrett Barry and Catherine Unknown) was born 28 Jun 1856, MA. [Group Sheet]


  2. 5.  Margaret Maggie Frances Barry was born 28 Jun 1856, MA (daughter of Garrett Barry and Catherine Unknown).

    Notes:

    I am making an assumption that Maggie's surname was Barry, based on the marriage entry. The marriage record gives her parents' names as Garrett and Catherine.

  1. 8.  William ANDREWSWilliam ANDREWS was born 22 Feb 1833, England (son of John ANDREWS and Catherine SMITH); died 14 Aug 1900, Bristol, RI.

    Notes:

    According to my great-grandma's writings, her father William "was only 13 years old when his mother died -- and he used to work in the factory as a weaver until he went to sea as a cabin boy and followed the sea until his family came to America -- and while they were all working in the factories of Hebronville, for one place, and Central Falls and Pawtucket, I think it was while my aunts -- my father's sisters -- were there, he would go into the mill to see them and my mother was working there also and it was there he met her first."

    William probably came to America with his father and sister Mary c1847 (see notes for John Andrews).

    In the 1860 Federal Census, William & Eliza J. Andrews, ages 27 & 23, are living at North Providence, RI. He is a weaver. They have two children: William H., 3, and Carrie J., 1 month. In 1870 the family is still at North Providence, Centredale Post Office District.

    The family was listed in the 1880 census for Providence / Graniteville; also known as District 1 Johnston:
    William Andrews 47 born England
    Eliza J Andrews 42 born England
    Clara J. 20
    James E. 15
    Joseph C. 11
    Mary E. 8
    John F. 6
    Estella M. 4
    William H. 22

    According to Mary's letter, her father William was in the Civil War, and also became an overseer at a mill in Centredale. She said his trade was "boss weaver" -- did she mean a manager of weavers?

    His death record at Bristol, RI, identifies him as s/o John & Catherine. According to the record, he died at age 66.

    William married Eliza Jane EDWARDS 2 Sep 1856, RI. Eliza (daughter of George EDWARDS and Abigail Abby WRAY) was born 4 Mar 1836, Clones, Monaghan, Ireland; died 2 Dec 1894, RI. [Group Sheet]
