My great great grandmother, Mary Elizabeth Crowe (ne: Morrell), was born in Greenville, Cumberland County, Nova Scotia on October 11, 1871.In 1889, Mary, 19, married Thomas Crowe, 20, in Acadia Mines, Colchester County and soon started a family- Annie E, 1893, Udvilla, 1894, George H, 1895, Thomas, 1896 and Gertrude M, 1898.
Then in the late 1890s, Mary and Thomas left Nova Scotia for BC.
The 1901 census shows Mary and Thomas living in Rossland, BC with the rest of their family: Mary E, 29, Thomas, 30, Annie E, 7, Udvillie, 6, George H, 5, Thomas C, 4, Gertrude M, 2, and Henry Morrell, 54 (Annie’s grandfather).
The 1921 census shows Mary...
Mary and Thomas's children stayed in B.C.
Records show that in 1931, Mary crossed the border from Canada to the US through Northport, Washington. Her departure contact was Annie White. Her arrival contact was Susan Crowe.
This picture of Mary is probably taken in Nelson in the 1940s.
Mary died in Nelson in January 1948 at the age of 77.
Records show that Clarence Thomas Crowe died in California in 1945 at the age of 75.
