  • Introduction

    Ethel Rosina Tasker was born September, 5, 1909 in Itchen, England. She was the daughter of Mary Ann Jones Tasker and William Tasker, both born in Wales. Her parents had lived in England for about 5 years by the time their third child, Ethel, was born, and always considered themselves Welsh. In the 1911 English census records, the Tasker family was living at No. 170 Mortimer Road, Itchen, Hampshire, England. The family is listed with the following ages: William Tasker 31 Mary Tasker 28 William H Tasker 5 Eileen C Tasker 3 Ethel R Tasker 1 Father, William Tasker, has a noted occupation " journeyman sail maker", working in a nearby ship yard. Ethel's family immigrated to the states in 1913, settling in Lead, South Dakota. Her father filed his 'first papers' (intent to become a US citizen for himself and family) in South Dakota, and obtained his final papers on 2 Nov 1919 after moving to West Seattle, Washington. According to the 1920s census Ethel Rosina Tasker was 10 years old living at 46 Ave South West in Seattle Washington. Her father William Tasker was 40, mother Mary A. Tasker was 37, brother William Harold Tasker was 13, her sister Eileen Constance Tasker was 11 and Ethel was 10 years old. The Tasker children later attended West Seattle High School, where Ethel's sister, Connie, carved her initials behind the clock in the Clock Tower. The two Tasker daughters were known for sneaking out of the house in the middle of the night, attending parties their strict parents had forbidden them to go to, and other rowdy antics that weren't repeated to their grandchildren and nieces until their latter years of life. In the 1930 census Ethel was still living at home with her parents ( 3021 Belvidere Avenue, West Seattle) and not working at that time. Ethel was very close to her father, William, and must have been devasted when he passed away January of 1934. Her only brother, Willie, passed away from pneumonia in November of the same year. On 18th January, 1939 Ethel set sail from the Port of Vancouver, arriving in Honolulu a week later. She and her mother had been residing at 201 Olympic Place, Seattle, at the time. Ethel met Floyd Allen, her future husband, in Honolulu. Floyd was working at a piano shop and had been living in Honolulu for a year or so prior to Ethel's arrival. They married in May, 1939 five months after Ethel arrived and made their home in Waikiki. By 1940, Ethel's mother Mary Ann Tasker was resided with the couple at #334 Ohua Avenue, Honolulu. Ethel and Floyd returned to the states in September of 1942, settling in Idaho. Their daughter, Nancy, was born in Boise years later. After her birth, they moved to Idaho Falls were they spent most of their married life.

We believe the other lady was a Walkup, possibly Ethel's sister, with her grand daughter. They may have come to visit a relative who was hospitalized in Seattle, WA.
