These siblings are both born to John Kent (1861-1921) and Mary Eaton (1865- 1898). I have the john Anthony & mary Alice detailed on the 1901 census but once mum died and dad remarried = gone. My family story is that the children where "sent away to America".
I know when their mum died, John kent went on to re marry (Barnes) and have two children also called John & Mary (yes I KNOW, thanks).
I think I have some travel records of john Anthony, now using full name John Anthony Eaton Kent and I think marrying Ann G H Dotzauer ?? But what happened to Mary Alice ?
Any further information would be of great help.
Kind regards, AMPW

This seems to be the same family but with some differences:

MM ...
That thread has John Anthony Eaton Kent ....
BUT he and Mary are apparently twins
Ah now I understand ..............................
EDIT:- It would have been better to have continued on that original thread, as I have just repeated so much information that had already been found in an attempt to understand the OP. :-(
My thought was that Mary Alice may have emigrated with John, as happened with 2 of OH's ancestors.
