Biography

Annie Elizabeth Bailey was born on 29 December, 1895, to Charles and Rose Kaiser (Bailey-33347 and Kaiser-3356), and baptized on 22 March, 1896, at Christ Church, Notting Hill, London, England^[1]. At the time of her baptism the family's address was 67 St. Ervans Rd., and her father's occupation was Stoker.

At the time of the 1901 Census, Annie Bailey, 5, was living with her parents Charles, 31, General Labourer, and Rose, 28, and sisters Marie (Bailey-33356), 3, and Lizzie (Bailey-16374), 2, at 9 Western Dwellings, Kensington^[2].

The family must have continued to live in Kensington until they emigrated to Canada, as their next two children were born there, and daughter Lizzie attended Middle Row Primary School on Kensal Road from 1905-1906. (Annie and Marie probably also attended Middle Row Primary School, but I haven't found their school records.)

In July, 1906 the family immigrated to Canada^[3][4] arriving in Montreal from Liverpool aboard the SS Southward on 14 July. Their stated destination at the time was Winnipeg, Manitoba.

By the time of the 1911 Census of Canada, Annie Bailey, 16, worker, Candy Factory, was living at 173 Harris Street (later changed to Georgia Street), Vancouver, British Columbia, with her parents, Charles, 40, Stoker, Gas Works, and Rose, 38, and siblings Marie, 14, Lizzie, 12, (Charles) Edward, 8, May, 7, Rose, 5, and James, 2, Rose and James having been born in British Columbia. The family's religious affiliation was Anglican, and all but the three youngest children could both read and write. Annie and father Charles were both working 54 hours/week, Charles having earned $840 over the previous year, while Annie earned $250^[5]. If we assume Charles and Annie worked 6 days a week and had Sunday's off, they were working 9 hour days.

Annie and sister Elizabeth were recorded twice on the 1921 Census, both at their jobs at the Banff Springs Hotel in Alberta, and in the home of their parents in Vancouver, British Columbia (the Census was taken on different dates in different places):

Annie Bailey, 24, born England of parents born England, Single, appears on line 50 on the same page of the Census as her sister Elizabeth (here recorded as Lillian on line 3, but Lily was only 9 so this was "Lizzie", who was 21, and whom we know also worked at the Banff Springs Hotel at the time), and future sister-in-law Hulda Gustafson (line 15), as a Checker at the Banff Springs Hotel, having earned $300 in the 12 months preceding the Census[[1]].

Annie Bailey, 24, working as a waitress in a hotel, having earned $500 over the previous year, was also recorded on the Census at the home of her parents Charles, 52, and Rose, 49, at 1036 Keefer Street, Ward 4, Vancouver, a 6-room single-occupancy dwelling made of wood for which they paid $20/month in rent. Also enumerated there were her siblings Marie, 23, Elizabeth, 22, Charles, 19, May, 17, Rose, 15, James, 11, Lily (Bailey-33256), 9, and Frederick (Bailey-33257), 5,. The family were Church of England, and all but 5-year old Frederick could read and write, spoke English, but not French, and cited their nationality as English and their citizenship as Canadian. According to the Census, all household members except the youngest four children were born in England and immigrated to Canada in 1906, and the last four children were born in B.C.^[6]. Also according to the Census:

• Father Charles was a Tugboat Fireman, and had earned $750 the previous year, but was unemployed as of June 1, 1921 and had been unemployed for a total of 20 weeks of the previous year, but not due to illness;
• Mother Rose didn't work outside the home, and sisters, May, 17, and Rose, 15, had no listed occupations;
• James, 11, and Lily, 9, attended school 8 weeks in 1921, and Frederick, 5, had not yet attended school;
• Maria was working as an Elevator Girl at an Office, and had earned $700 in the previous year, with no periods of unemployment;
• Elizabeth was working as a Waitress at a Hotel, and had earned $350 in the year preceding June 1, 1921, despite being unemployed for 20 of those weeks, but not due to illness; and
• Brother Charles was a General Labourer, and had earned $300 in the previous year, but was unemployed and had been unemployed for a total of 40 weeks of the previous year, but not due to illness.

Annie Bailey, 25, religious denomination Church of England, daughter of Charles Bailey and Rose King, both born in London, England, Chocolate Dipper, married Andrew Bertram Jackson, 26, Catholic, born in Belfast, Ireland to Bertram Jackson, born Scotland? (the question mark is in the original document) and Margaret McGlorory, born Ireland, Miner, at St. James Church in Vancouver, British Columbia, by Licence No. 78045,on 22 November, 1922^[7]. Witnesses were Robert Hope and Elsie Larkham, both of Capilano, the clergyman was Wilberforce Cooper, and the District Registrar was J. Mahoney.

Annie and Andrew had 2 children:

• Andrew George Patrick (Jackson-48000), born 1926; and
• Lloyd Thomas (Jackson-47999), born ca. 5 November, 1930.

Annie Jackson died on 15 May, 1952 at Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada, and is buried in Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Burnaby, British Columbia, where she shares a headstone with husband Andrew (although his half of the inscription was never completed)^[8][9].

Research Notes

If a record of attendance at middle school exists for Lizzie, it probably does for Annie, also.
