NotesShips register shows a Mary Beasley age 15 arriving in Canada June 10, 1905.

Document I have shows a Margaret Mary Beasley born March 29, 1890.

Margaret was the oldest of 3 sisters sent to St. Helen’s Industrial School, Blackbrook House, Lancashire after the death of their father in 1899. Her brothers Alfred, John C., Michael and Albert were taken in by her paternal grandparents. Alfred came to Canada, joined the Canadian army and was killed at Ypres in 1916. Margaret and her sister lost touch with their other brothers.

The school run by catholic nuns had a good reputation and the girls lived there to age 15 before being sent to Canada to work as indentured servants. Margaret arrived in Canada in 1905 and was placed in Peterborough Ontario. She was indentured until age 18. She waited to claim her sisters when their indenture ended. Lillian in 1910 and May in 1912.
Lillian married late in life and had no children. May Beasley never married.

In 1917 Margaret married Anthony Byrne, 33 years her senior. They had 3 children, the eldest was stillborn and the youngest was developmentally delayed. The middle child, also named Margaret was my mother; she became a teacher and mother of 6 children.
