Josie

Josephine Sennett was the daughter of Joseph and Annie Sennett. After her father died in a mining accident, she went to live with her Uncle James' family (i.e. with my Grandma Mary & her two brothers). It was a very tiny house that already had a family of three children in it!

Here below we see Josie, Jack and Mary Sennett. As you can imagine, young Mary was very pleased to have a sister to borrow for a while!


Then a little later - here we see Mary, Josie, James & Lizzie. A day trip to the sea?



All grown-up.
Mary & her bairns visit Josie at Leamington Spa. Left to right - Mary, Annie (Jo's widow), Josie, then in the foreground; Marian, Josie's bairn Katherine, and Tina.



More shots of Josie as a young lady, with her nieces and one of her daughters. In the right-hand photo, we also see Joyce (who stayed with Mary for a while).



By the way, the lower photo was taken in Tudhoe Village, in front of Lizzie's house, looking at Nance's house opposite and the village bench on the green. So we see the house where Tot and Nance Fitzpatrick lived before they moved to Mount Pleasant, Bilston.
