(Parents: Caroline Elizabeth Raikes and Walter James Headon, married Bath, Somersetshire, England, 1888. Caroline Elizabeth Headon died in 1909 at the age of 39.)

In 1891, Amanda G. E. Headon, 1 year of age, was residing at Newgate, Broadwinsor, Dorset, England. Other family members included: Caroline E. Headon, 21; Thomas W. Headon, 2; and Walter J.
