Hello - this information is interesting as Carl Dewhurst and Mary Steele were the grandparents of my husband, Charles "Kurt" Dewhurst. However, Kurt had been told that his grandfather was Carl Edward Dewhurst and his great-grandfather was Carl Rosenon Dewhurst. Also Kurt had been told that Carl Edward had immigrated from England to NYC via Trinidad. A pevious posting to this list regarding Carl Dewhurst also identified some discrepancies. So, any help in clearing up any discrepancies of information and filling in more would be much appreciated! Here is what we had: Carl Edward Dewhurst (b. London?, England?) and Mary Steele (born in ?, England). Carl first immigrated to Trinidad with his brother Harry where they both played on a cricket? or rugby team. Harry then moved to Toronto, married and raised a family including daughter Colleen (the famous actress). Carl moved from Trinidad to New York City where he worked in an office for a railroad. He met and married Mary Steele in NYC and the couple moved to northern NJ where they lived in several locations. Mary, an orphan, was raised in London in an orphanage from which Queen Victoria often purchased needlework. Mary, a proficient crocheter until she died, always claimed that she sewed for the Queen. Also, here is the information we have on Carl and Mary's children: * Charles Edward Allaire (or Alair) Dewhurst, b. 4/5/12, d. 2/7/78, m. Hermina Jule Hanzl 6/23/13, had one son: Charles Kurt Dewhurst, b. 12/21/48 * Henry Dewhurst, b. 8/2/13, m. Evelyn ?, d. July 87; had one son: Jay * Dorothy Dewhurst, b. 1/7/18, m. John Amrine, d. 6/18/88; had no children * Richard Dewhurst, m. Joan Brewer; had two sons: Carl and Richard B. * Allen Dewhurst, m. Nancy ?; had two sons: Todd and Scott ; had one daughter: Robin We also know that Mary Steele died November 30, 1977. -- Marsha MacDowell ************ [from "Theresa Dewhurst" <tdew@worldnet.att.net>, 5/23/99]>Hi William, > I've got some info about a family (not mine,) that you might want to hold >on to.
