Cousin Connection

This is the first post in a series of (I hope) posts with photos of cousins.

On June 23rd, 2009 I was lucky to be able to meet up with Mark Spalding for lunch in Port Perry, Ontario about an hour west from where I live. Mark and his wife were making a diversion to Ontario to visit old friends from the UK who had retired in Port Perry.

Mark is descended from Joseph DAWES (1835-1874) through his daughter Ann DAWES who married William Pettet GOLD and is a 3rd cousin, once removed to me.

The Ann (DAWES) GOLD Family

Ann DAWES was born 26 May 1863 in Brighton. She married William Pettet GOLD (1856-1918) 27 Feb 1884 in Brighton. They had 5 children and I am in contact with living relatives of this line. Ann died at age 61 on 14 March 1924 of a pulmonary embolism.
