Palser Family – A sad, sad story

Maud Taylor Palser

Maud Taylor came to Canada from England somewhere between 1901 and 1911 to begin a new life.  She married Albert Richard Palser, a Toronto native, on the 26th of July 1911 and the couple soon began their family.  Their daughter Florence was born on the 24th of May 1912. 

In August of 1914, England declared war on Germany and as a member of the British Empire, Canada was automatically involved.  Even while Maud was expecting their second child, Albert enlisted in the Canadian Overseas Expeditionary Force on the 30th of April, 1916, determined to do his part in the war effort.  As World War I raged on, Maud gave birth to a son on the 12th of July 1916 who they named Albert David Palser for his father.  Sadly, Albert David became ill in the summer of 1917 and died on the 2nd of August 1917 of indigestion and heat prostration from hypostatic pneumonia.  The infant was laid to rest in an infant’s single grave in Section 16, Lot 1093 in Prospect Cemetery. 

In 1918, as the world recovered from the war and the Palser family recovered from the sad loss of their infant son, a new threat of the Spanish influenza emerged in the aftermath of the war.  The effect of the epidemic on Toronto was similar to other large cities.  Everyone was terrified and most who went outdoors wore a face mask in hopes of escaping from the deadly germ.

Maud was especially careful in the fall of 1918.  She was expecting another baby.   Gordon Taylor Palser was born on the 20th of January 1919 and welcomed into the family.  Young Florence was almost six years old and delighted to have a baby brother.

It was not long afterwards that tragedy struck the family again.  At the beginning of May 1919, father Albert came down with the flu’ and after a short three day battle, he succumbed, dying on the 6th of May 1919.  Maud was devastated and purchased a plot at Prospect Cemetery in Section 18, lot 732 where husband Albert was laid to rest the day after his death as was the custom during the epidemic.  No sooner had the family returned home from the funeral then Maud gave in to the flu’ herself and was rushed to Toronto General Hospital.  As a complication of the influenza, Maud developed pneumonia and died on the 12th of May 1919. 

This time, Maud’s sister Eliza Bulmer arranged the burial and Maud was laid to rest beside her beloved Albert, leaving the two children orphaned.  Florence was six; Gordon was only four months old.

Albert’s parents, Florence and Frank Palser, took the baby in to raise and young Florence went to live with her Uncle Daniel and Aunt Eliza Bulmer.

Unfortunately the family was still to face yet one more tragedy.  In April of 1920, not long after his first birthday, baby Gordon fell ill.  He developed bronchial pneumonia and died on the 20th of April.  He was laid to rest in the arms of his parents at Prospect Cemetery on the 21st of April 1920.

Mary Ann married again!

When researching the census records, I originally thought that Mary Ann Taylor (nee King) had moved back to her native Kent after the death of her husband John Taylor but while going over the family and doing some more checking, I realized that the Mary Ann Taylor I thought was mine had been in Kent all along.

My next hypothesis was that either she had married or died between the death of John in 1885 and the 1991 census. I found a marriage to Richard Richardson in 1889 and then found them both in the 1991 census living in the same house as John and Mary Ann were living in in 1881. I was unable to find them in 1901 so I checked again for a death and found a record for Mary Ann Richardson, dying in Barrow in March of 1898.

I’ve ordered both the marriage certificate and the death certificate to confirm.

James Wearn

My 3x great Uncle was James Wearn, Pilot of Ryde, IOW

 

Newspaper Article, Hampshire Telegraph, Portsmouth, England, 20 nov 1852 (The Gale Group – 19th Century British Library Newspapers, Gale Newspaper Database)
