Alfred Livingstone document. Seen here with second wife Martha
1881 Census: Lancashire, Wigan, District 21

Census (1891, District 13, Wigan, Lancashire, England) shows
him living with his mother in his grandparent's home
at 27 Nevilla St., Wigan, age 17, occupation Drawer (coal mine).
Marriage certificate says he was 20, a bachelor, residing at 1 Bauer
(Bausy?) Street, Makerfield, Lancashire, England. His occupation listed on the marriage certificate was Collier,which is a coal mine worker. He emigrated in 1900 (? as stated on the 1930 cenus, but he was in the 1901 England Census) or sometime before 1903 (when his wife and children emigrated to join him), and his occupation was listed as an engineer. According to Susan Williams, he traveled back and forth between England and the US often -- I wonder if this is perhaps because of his job as a saleman for an engineering firm. After Charlotte died, he married Martha Chatterly, widow.
He later became president of the Board of Education in Paterson, Passaic, New Jersey. In 1903 he resided on at 170 16th Ave., Patterson, and later at 269 Hamilton Avenue in Paterson, Passaic, New Jersey.
His WWI draft card
at age 45 lists occupation as Engineer/Salesman, employed by the Jewel Engineering Co, 140 Market St, Patterson; his residence was
717 14th Ave., Paterson. Closest relative was son Walter Livingstone, living at the same address. Edward was listed as short (5'4"), 155 lb., with brown eyes and dark brown hair.
Social Security Death index says his SSN was 157-09-0034.
1930 census shows him living at 269 Hamilton Ave., Paterson with Martha, her daughter Lucy, Lucy's husband Charles Norburn, and Lucy's daughter Rita.

Picture of her with Edward in family archives, no more information.
Susan Williams email 4/5/07 gave me Martha's last name (which is likely
a married name) and said Martha's daughter Lucy and Lucy's husband Charles
emigrated to the US and were living with Martha and Edward at
269 Hamilton Ave. Paterson City, Passaic County, New Jersey
in the 1930 census. Also, according to Susan, "Edward and Martha made many trips back to England to visit family, Martha had other children still living in Wigan."
1930 census shows her living in Paterson with Edward.

Resided at 436 E. 24th St. Paterson, NJ for many years, upstairs from sister Jane Krieger. Moved to 22 Atlantic Ave. Ocean Grove where she lived until her stroke. Aunt Irene was the last driver among her peers -- she drove her sisters and friends around. She collected all kinds of miniature shoes -- china, glass, leather, plastic. She loved Scrabble. She and Jane operated the MacKreg Cottage - a boarding house for summer guests for many years.
Death date is from SS Death index.
I recall Aunt Irene having a stroke shortly after her sister Jane's stroke;
She was moved to a nursing home where she died after several years.
