My paternal Great Grandmother

This is my paternal Great Grandmother, Eliza Jane Shadick. She was born about 1847? in Gravesend, Kent, England, and died in 1929. She had one sibling, (Ann Shadick or Thomas?). In 1875 (between July 1875 and September 1875), she married the Rev. Henry Carden (1852-1930) at Gravesend. Their children were Alice Gladwell (1876), Florence Sophia (1878, who married Frederick Hobson between July 1904 and September 1904 at Yorkshire [North Riding]), Nellie (1879), Percy Samuel (1880, who married Catherine Batson between July 1905 and September 1905 in Cumberland), and William Henry (1885 - between December 1951 and March 1952, who married Daisy Elizabeth Jinks between July 1908 and September 1908 in Northamptonshire).

Eliza Jane Shadick of Greys, Essex, was a school-teacher prior to marriage. Her family later moved to Gravesend, Kent. Eliza Jane was daughter of Richard Shadick and Ann Gladwell. Alice, the oldest, was my paternal Grandmother. Eliza's father, Richard, owned various shops in Gravesend between 1835 and 1871 when he died. He was a Currier in the leather trade. The shop first sold harnesses and saddlery items, but after World War 2, sold a much greater range of leather goods. Her mother, Ann Gladwell Shadick, then took over the business with the help of Thomas and his wife, Margaret. In early 1905, it passed into the hands of Willie Gladwell Shadick who was Thomas's youngest son, where it stayed until around 1950. At some point in the 1950s, it went to a daughter of WIllie and so the name changed.

I'm adding these old family photos and information to Flickr so that I don't have to take up lots of space in my kids' e-mail Inboxes. I also hope that someone out there might just find these images of interest or help - I had found nothing on Google myself. Funny, I can see a likeness to my oldest daughter.
