NotesIt appears that Jessie's mother never remarried after the death of her husband. She kept the Biddis name even though she lived with other males later. W. Crutchy would then be Ben and Charles' father, and Jessie's father was supposedly James Groves.

Her brother, Ben Biddis, was placed into Barnardos care and sailed to Canada in 1884. His records indicate that Ben's mother had a child of 13 months around the time Ben left for Canada. The girl's name was Jessie.

In 1895, Jessie Beddis, 15, arrived at Quebec, Canada, in a group of 298 Barnardo children accompanied by Mr. Owen en route to Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

On June 25, 1901, at Woodstock, Ontario, Canada, a marriage was registered (Reg. #13464 01) between George William Locke, 28, of Woodstock, Machinest, born England son of George William Locke and Sarah Long married Jessie Annie Biddis, 22, of Woodstock, born England daughter of Charles Biddis, unknown mother. Both Church of England. Witnesses: Emma Whitehouse and Alice E. Pennington.

Ups and Downs Volume 3, Sept/Oct 1902, number 4, pages 35 to 47, indicates that Jessie Biddis married G. W. Locke.

They are buried in the Anglican Cemetery in Woodstock. George Locke 1872-1942; Jessie Ann Biddis Locke 1883-1953. In the 1940 directory for Woodstock they lived at 592 Dundas Street and had a Confectionery Store at the same address.
