The Workmans lived at 19 Victoria Road in Bristol in 1881, and 
Sidney and Sarah Rogers and their children lived two doors down at 
23 Victoria Road.   Thomas Joseph Workman, 23,  married their daughter
Elizabeth Ann Rogers, 18, in St. George Church on May 7, 1876. 

Thomas Workman, 28, and Elizabeth Rogers Workman, 23, lived on Redfield Place 
in Bristol St. George in 1881.  His occupation is listed as carpenter.  
By 1881, they had 2 daughters, Clara and Rosa.  

Members of the family have old letters and photos from Blanche Workman, 
who was a schoolteacher, and think she was a third daughter, born in 1887.  

Blanche lived at 11 Wathen Road, St. Andrews Park, Bristol on April 4, 1977, 
when she wrote to Grace Reed in America:

"I have had a wonderful birthday.  A series of pleasant surprises.  It was my 90th.  
I didn't tell anyone but somehow people learned of it.  My first surprise was from 
the Retired Teachers Association.  I haven't been to the meetings for three years, 
but I am a founding member.  I was presented with a bouquet.  The next day my next 
door neighbor took a party of six of us to a restaurant for a special tea.  
That same evening a friend arrived with a lovely iced cake: 
"Happy Birthday 1887-1977".

"My nieces Vera and Evelyn came to tea on Saturday.  My nephew in Australia 
had commissioned his sister to get me a huge basket of fruit and a bottle of sherry.  
The Whist Club I attend weekly sent me a lovely bouquet of carnations and 
chrysanthemums.  I went out to lunch, after which my friend took me for a car 
ride to Weston and we walked by the sea."

In July, 1975, she wrote (again to Grace Reed):
"My nephew Ralph and his wife Joan are here from Australia.  They stayed with 
his brother Frank and kept house and looked after the animals while they 
(Frank and family) went to Canada for 3 weeks to visit their son.  
They are back now and Ralph and Joan have gone to London to visit her relatives.  
Then they are going to Canada to visit Frank's son, then on to Texas.  
His daughter, Jill did a tour and met a young man there and they decided
to get married.  Now her parents are going to meet the man of her choice."

In 1976, she wrote (again, to Grace Reed):
While Ralph and Joan were in America, "they called on cousin 
Virginia King and stayed there for a week."
