EDWARD "Teddy" PACE 1873-1960 EDWARD "Teddy" PACE a travelling salesman - hardware friend of a Mr. BUCHANAN at HAVELOCK, Ontario, also a travelling shoe salesman. It is of interest - his brother CHARLES VICARAGE PACE is buried at LETHBRIDGE, Alberta amongst several BUCHANAN graves. One was a Reverend Buchanan. I wonder if these BUCHANAN people at LETHBRIDGE were connected to CV Pace's brothert EDWARD's friend? Later, both men and families settled at Havelock, Ontario, next town east of NORWOOD where SQUIRE-PACE families settled. EDWARD active in church at Havelock and community contributor. He would hire bus tours and have community picknicks at his Cordova Lake cottage. Remembered by town hall staff when I visited Havelock. EDWARD operated the general store at CORDOVA MINES, a few miles north/east of HAVELOCK when gold was mined there and had a cottage on Belmont Lake.

His mother EMILY remarried to - REUBEN DUDLEY - probably after 1881 census was taken. CHARLES, with brothers, sisters were brought up in DUDLEY family with DUDLEY children. By 1901 EMILY was a widow again - another mining accident, according to my conversation with local Essington historian JIM EVANS who knew members of the DUDLEY family and supplied DUDLEY family photo. CHARLES, in his 20s, visited CANADA in 1890s - his aunt and uncle MARY ANN & HENRY SQUIRE at LETHBRIDGE, formerly SHORT HEATH, Staffordshire - 1881 census - SHORT HEATH - 1891 census - LETHBRIDGE, NWT (Alberta) ...North West Territory - became ALBERTA 1905 CHARLES returned to England and married Annie ARCH 1898 of Blakenall Lane, BLOXWICH. First four children - born in Bloxwich. Family moved to ABRAM, near WIGAN, Lancashire around 1906 where four more children were born. CHARLES, a coal miner, returned to ALBERTA Canada around 1920 with son CHARLES and JAMES HOLDING (son in law) of WIGAN, all worked in coal fields of southern Alberta. The ORIGINAL PLAN was to go to the United States where CHARLES' elder sister FRANCES EMILY and family had settled. PACE-EMERY-Toledo, Ohio when wife and family arrived in Canada (1926). CHARLES died of cancer before his family arrived in Canada. CHARLES' family settled at MONTREAL where Annie had a relative, JIM COWLEY who may have been son of an ELIZABETH COWLEY - showed in 1881 census-BLOXWICH as servant in ARCH FARM at BLOXWICH

EMILY FRANCES WALTON 1880-1958 and husband Mr. WALTON before going to AUSTRALIA EMILY FRANCES and/or EMILY D - went to MELBOURNE Australia after marriage, wrote to brother EDWARD back in WALSALL until 1930s, said brother RON, of Brownhills, Walsall. Around that time -1930s - EDWARD may have gone to CANADA where he had family Thanks to Graham PRICE, Melbourne family researcher, who provided info on grandfather's sister of MELBOURNE. - GTPace Possibly Mr. Walton worked for, or was related to, the Preston auto business people!!! So, I would be looking for a WALTON family in PRESTON, and surely there would only be one Emily Frances WALTON in a household in the suburb of that name? When I first looked at your email re. Frances Emily, I thought it related to the auto people PRESTON MOTORS, who are very big Ford dealers here - have been for a very long time, but then I found this on the death database to '85. - Graham PRICE EDWARD PACE 1845-1877 died young at age 31 - SHARESHILL - due to a mining accident - living on a board until his death widow EMILY then re-married REUBEN DUDLEY last child EMILY FRANCES born 1880 had DUDLEY as father as stated on her death record at Preston, Melbourne Australia in 1958 Emily Frances Walton Reg.

SOCIAL HISTORY in the "BLACK COUNTRY" of the industrial Midlands of England by John CULLWICK family historian - CULLWICK page Before the INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION scarred the landscape and brought hundreds of thousands of workers into the BLACK COUNTRY, it was a typical country scene, villages which used to close down twice a week. MORE history of the BLACK COUNTRY

Once on market day when everyone went to the local market town for MARKET DAY. Once on Sunday, when the churches would have been full - chapel folk going to the parish church in the morning and then attending their own chapel twice more that day (hence they were called "thricers"). The ordinary people met their spouses through chapel or market day or through service one of the big houses. Many weddings seemed to be arranged - particularly among the landowning classes. ENTERTAINMENT was home-made in the various barns, and there were mid week church meetings to attend.

NOTE - PACE was recorded PASE, PAST, PASTE by vicars, church wardens. The PACE name, and many variants of it, "evolved" over the centuries.

Remember, reading & writing were not prominent skills in those days, most folk, and their offspring were into farming although some could read and write, becoming church wardens and entering names into parish registers.
