Lizzie married Robert Pearce in 1901 - he was a clerk.
In 1922 Robert emigrated to America (California) - his son John Davids was at that
time in the merchant navy. John emigrated in 1928 and became a tile cutter (he married
Carolena in California later in that year). The 1930 US Census shows them all living
at San Leandro, California. The family was still in San Leandro in 1940 (US Census).

Raymond Bastick was an Outfitter's Manager - he was born in London.
In 1913 the family emigrated to Canada - they sailed from Liverpool to Quebec
on the 'Canada'. Canadian Census records show that in 1916 and 1921 they lived
in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. In 1943 Blanche made a border crossing from
British Columbia (Canada) to Blaine, Washington (US) with her daughter Kathleen.
Kathleen had married in Winnipeg, Manitoba, in 1922 but was living in California
by 1943. It would appear that Raymond died prior to Blanche moving to the US
- Blanche died in 1963 in San Diego, California.
