Tom England118.

Lois Verna (Verna) England-40220.

iv.

Matilda England118,125.
Birth: 20 January 1883, Overton County, Tennessee.118,125 She was a twin of Verna. Based on the 1900 census plus Verna's SSDI information, I believe the most likely date of birth is 20 Jul 1885. (RGB)
Parents: James William (William or Wilburn or Bill) England and Margaret Jones.
Death: before 1900, age 17. She did not appear on the 1900 census with the family. I do not know for certain if she married before 1900, died before 1900, or simply was missed in the 1900 census. However, her mother was listed in the 1900 census as having borne 8 children of whom 6 were still living. All 6 still living are accounted for, so Matilda apparently died before 1900. (RGB)
