Introduction - Potted History- Beginnings

  Marr Elizabeth was born at Monument Cottage Sledmere,  York, England in c.1868, a lovely, picturesque Village that nestles quietly in the rolling hills of the Yorkshire Wolds, famous for its stately home, Sledmere House.    

   One of ten children (6 sons, 4 daughters) born to Robert and Annie Bean between 1864 - 1881.  At the census of 1871 she is shown with her parents and siblings at Monument Cottage Sledmere.

     Known to modern day members of her family as, 'Grandma Condon'.   As a young adult it was said that she worked as a serving girl for many years at Sledmere House.   Many of the villagers were and still are, employed on the estate in one form or another.  

     However, at the census of 1881 Marr Elizabeth is found at the age of thirteen to be a servant, residing with George R.S. Jackson his wife Amelia M.A. Jackson and their five children at Albion House, Albion Street, Great Driffield, York, England. George Jackson was a bookseller and printer of Driffield.

First Child.   Son Richard was born at Sledmere 6th October 1889 and registered 2nd November 1889 at Langtoft.   

Second Child.   Daughter Annie born 1896.

    Early life was spent in the East Riding Villages before moving to the booming town of Hull around 1890.   Housing was in abundance because of the industrial output and many migrating people came to the area.

     It is interesting to note that Marr Elizabeth's brother Robert Bean b.c. 1874 is now residing with them, having left the family home of Monument Cottage, Sledmere.   Aged 24?, 'Living on own means'?  10 years earlier he had been a servant at The Grange, Sledmere, Yorkshire.

 In 1905 they moved to Chiltern Street, Hull, Yorkshire.   

      After the death of John Carter in 1910,  Elizabeth remained with her children in Chiltern Street, Hull.   It is understood she took employment at the newly constructed Paragon Railway Station, Hull, where she met and married Johnny Condon, born in the Isle of man (1880).    Son of James and Ann Condon of Castletown Isle of Man.  They were residing at 14 Queen Street,  Castletown in 1881 - those present were  James Condon 30, wife Ann J.
