| 201 | At his marriage he was a "joiner" In 1896, he was living at 12, Compton Terrace, as a tenant. In 1921 he was at 13, Wadham Road, also as a tenant. In the Kellys 1920 directory he is living at 13, Wadham Road, North End, Portsmouth He was a local councillor for the Kingston Ward in Portsmouth in the years up to 1930, and was re-elected on 1st Nov 1930, at the top of the poll. There appears to have been a lot of property to auction following his death, which seems at variance to the probate? He left over £40,000 to his widow Maude | JUNIPER, John Charles (I1103)
|
| 202 | At his probate, the money goes to his widow "Bessie Potter". She appears in the 1939 Register at 19, Shaftsbury Rd, DOB given as 22/5/1854, and the name as "Bessie D". The only marriage that makes sense is Q3 1910 in Totnes, which gives her surname as SIMS. But I can find no realistic person born with that name, nor does James in the 1911 Census give himself as married. So it is probable that this person is indeed a widow, but it is his sister in law, who was widowed in 1920, and came to live in his house along the road. The evidence from the 1921 Census, when he is living in her house, adds weight to this. | POTTER, James (I648)
|
| 203 | At the 1841 Census is Eliza MOTHERSOLE, who is almost certainly the daughter of Samuel MOTHERSOLE, who may be an unrecorded brother of Sophia. If not he is probably a cousin. | MOTHERSOLE, Sophia (I352)
|
| 204 | At the 1841 Census, living next door is James and Eliza MONGER. Like David, James is not from Herts, and so is a possible brother. They also had a son George, aged 1, and who probably died in 1844. | Family: David MONGER / Jane HARRIS (F17)
|
| 205 | At the 1851 Census, he is a "Coal Whipper". The heavy manual nature of such a job does not really fit with basket maker that we have elsewhere, but the remaining details are too similar for this not to be the same person. So either things were difficult in baskets, and he had to find something else (and at that time, coal whippers were very common) or he lied, or even the census enumerator made a mistake. | STEVENSON, Thomas John (I169)
|
| 206 | At the 1851 Census, he is married (to Mary Ann), and at 1861 he is a widower, with children. He marries again to Eliza, and they are both there at the 1871 Census. | RAMSBOTHAM, Isaac (I232)
|
| 207 | At the 1851 Census, there is also Emily COX, grandaughter, a14, born Winfrith. | WILLIS, Hubert (I1255)
|
| 208 | At the 1861 Census, she is grand-daughter, with her grandparents Willam and Ann ?SHORTLEY? as the postmaster and postmistress, and their daughter Ann. See notes about Frank, her son, on the place they lived from 1921 to 1931 | MAY, Frances Elizabeth (I668)
|
| 209 | At the 1871 Census, (17, Fleet St) only Joseph Hull (widower) is mentioned. | Family: Joseph HULL / Sarah HILBECK (F377)
|
| 210 | At the 1871 Census, is Elizabeth, his wife, aged 55 and a grandaughter, Alice HALL, aged 4, born Bridgewater in Somerset. I do not actually believe Elizabeth was his wife, though she may have been a common law wife - there is no consistent marriage records (there is one for 1861, when Susannah was still alive, but in Crediton, and I think this Elizabeth is actually her daughter). This makes sense for a number of records of Elizabeth (nee WREFORD) b1816 in Morchard Bishop, who married (a different) Henry DELVE 31/12/1839, and they appear with the daugher in the 1841 Census. I think that the Elizabeth in this census is Elizabeth Wreford, though the birthplace of North Tawton does not fit. | DELL, Henry (I834)
|
| 211 | At the 1871 Census, she appears as the daughter or Albert and Jane Guy. It seems very likely it is the same person, and so it is possible that she was staying with them in 1871. The BMD record for her birth (Q1, 1969, Romsey) mentions the mothers name, GANNAWAY, and therefore it clearly is their daughter. She is probably baptised at Woodford Wells, Essex 24/6/1899. The father and his occupation is right, the mother is given in the transcript as Elizabeth Jane, so not quite right, but close enough. This gives her DOB as 1/1/1869. (There is a possibility that they did not know the birthday, and so it is just a day in 1969). Lucy possibly is an unmarried housekeeper aged 38 in Edmonton in 1911 Census and dies in Wandsworth Jan qtr 1930 aged 69. | GUY, Lucy Mary (I1145)
|
| 212 | At the 1871 Census, there is also an Emma E WILKEY, presumably her daughter, aged 18, born Walworth, occ "needlewoman". This may be the same person as Emma Caroline WILKEY whose birth was registered in 1852 in Newington, and married Joseph HARRISON (father given as Thomas WILKEY, a gentleman, but the witness is Mary WILKEY). | WILKEY, Mary (I679)
|
| 213 | At the 1881 Census for Henry and James, Mary Ann IMPEY, widow of one of the brothers is present. Based on DOB, most likely to be George, who is therefore deceased by 1881. | IMPEY, George (I432)
|
| 214 | At the 1891 Census, Henry appears to be married to Mary Ann (HOLLINGSWORTH), widow of his brother William. See the notes for him too. This is on the basis of rough age and birth location, but there is no BMD record. There is a record of a Henry Impey marrying Mary Ann LOOKER (Q4 1885, London City), and a Mary LOOKER in Oxford, born there 1843, in the 1881 Census. There is no obvious way to decide between these alternatives. | IMPEY, Henry (I433)
|
| 215 | At the 1911 and 1921 Censuses, she is with her step sisters Florence and Lilian and step brother Henry | GARNER, Gertrude Mabel (I83)
|
| 216 | At the 1911 Census, he calls himself Cyril William Gladstone Guy. He fills in the Census form with precision greater than that requested. He marries Gertrude Ellen ADDIS Q2 1909 | GUY, Cyril William (I1151)
|
| 217 | At the 1911 Census, she says she is married, and that she has been married 12 years, and and that she has 6 children, (ok including her first husband), and 1 who has died. | HARVEY, Florence Annie (I80)
|
| 218 | At the 1921 Census she is a visitor to Charles Vincent and Mabel Kate ALLEN. Perhaps one of these is a cousin on the Gannaway side? | GUY, Alice Rosina (I1154)
|
| 219 | At the 1921 Census, she says her name is Caroline Juniper (rather than Woolmer) BEECH. She also says she was born in Victoria Park (which is in Tower Hamlets so very much the same area as "Bethnal Green") | HARDING, Caroline Woolmer (I1143)
|
| 220 | At the banns of marriage, Robert says he is from "Nighton". Based on where the children are born, this is assumed to be West Knighton, though East Knighton is closer to both Affpuddle and also the presumed birth at Winfrith Newburgh. The only obvious baptism in online records is the one given here - there is another Robert Guy bapt in 1770 to the same (named) parents, but there are no available burial records to confirm that this Robert died and so his brother was given the same name 3 years later. However this seems reasonable. He does not feature in the 1851 Census, but probably died either 1844 or 1847 in the Wareham district. | GUY, Robert (I999)
|
| 221 | At the baptism of his son, Robert, in 1784, he is noted as a pauper. If the vicar had recorded this earlier, doubtless this would have been noted against all the children. Many internet trees have his birth in 1743, for which I can find no evidence. Clearly his age may be wrong at death, so 1741 is not certain either. | BURWOOD, William (I926)
|
| 222 | At their marriage, William is noted as living in Friston, Sussex, Frances in Lymington. How did they meet? It seems that William was a coastguard at Lymington and on 10/10/1833 he was relocated to Crowlink in Sussex. It is not clear why they waited till Mary Jane was 3ish before baptising her, when her sister Jane was likely less than 1. Was William away or was it on religious grounds? | Family: William VYE / Frances HILL (F393)
|
| 223 | Baptism details supplemented by public tree suggests that James's parents are Thomas PAULEY and Ann PARSONS | PAULEY, James (I656)
|
| 224 | Baptism informationis most likely scenario. Note that there is no father mentioned, and so her mother is also assumed to have a surname DOLLING If so possibly died 1824 aged 69 and buried at St James, Poole | DOLLING, Diana (I1167)
|
| 225 | Baptism record says "privately" baptised - is this because he was ill? | COOMBE, John (I840)
|
| 226 | Baptism records indicates both Samuel and father Henry as DELL or DELVE | DELVE, Samuel (I854)
|
| 227 | Barnards Yard, along with other places just off Back St and Queen St in Hitchin was a very poor area. The following comes from https://www.hertsmemories.org.uk/content/herts-history/towns-and-villages/hitchin/slum-housing-in-hitchin-1850s-1930s. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Despite the beauty of many buildings in the town, Hitchin had its dark side by way of poor housing and disease. The Queen Street area was a notorious slum and rapid increases in population led to overcrowding. The mass of tiny yards dating back to the 1700s developed near St Mary’s Church and became the most densely populated area of the town. Dotted amongst the tenements were 13 pubs and several slaughterhouses. Although the area was central, the whole district was taboo for the rest of Hitchin’s inhabitants. Policemen patrolled in pairs and children were warned to keep away for fear of smallpox. In the 1920s the Hitchin historian, Reginald Hine described them as “a squalid quarrelsome underworld oflittle yards”. This problem had reared its head seventy years earlier after William Ranger inspected the town and wrote about the hazards of people living so close together without adequate facilities. There were found to be 400 residents suffering from typhoid from polluted wells. Ranger’s report of 1849 particularly singled out Chapmans Yard as one of the worst. The yard is described as being filthy and the habits of the people “exceedingly dirty” and that the privy was not used; instead, excrement was “thrown upon the yard.” Other areas included The Folly, Hitchin Hill, Boot Yard, Lyles Row, Thorpes Yard, Adam & Eve Yard, Parcells Yard and Barnards Yard. In Seymour’s Alley, 25 people in 6 houses had no privy accommodation of any kind. In some places, the drains were open and sewage discharged to the surface mixed with rotting waste from slaughterhouses. In 1850 Hitchin’s Board of Health was formed in response to Ranger’s report. Interest in sanitary improvements had not faded as the town was still recovering from cholera, which had claimed over 40 lives. By 1854, the town had a new water supply and sewerage system which led to a fall in the death rate but problems persisted for many more years mainly due to internal wrangling. In 1857, a storm caused water in the main sewer to rise, resulting in sewage coming out of domestic taps. Alice Latchmore was a child in 1919 and described the cottages in the Queen Street area: “Somehouses had earth floors. The windows and doors were small and in a few cases the only window downstairs opened to a passage where there was no light and very little air. The only bedroom was like a stable loft, reached by a decrepit stairs or a ladder. Tea chests served as tables and 5 or 6 children in one bed was not unusual. It was very much survival of the fittest”. I In 1902 Queen Street was compared to the worst slums of London. In 1909, the houses were described as “…old properties in decaying condition with rats and mud”. Another resident who was a boy in 1919, said of Chapmans Yard, “you could see the shabby houses and entrances to whatseemed to a child frightening yards, two of which were so narrow that houses facing each other were little more than a handshake apart”. In 1921 Hitchin Urban District Council declared the housing was unsanitary and that they should be demolished so clearance began in 1926. A total of 174 houses were pulled down in the area now known as St Mary’s Square, a fact commemorated on one of the flights of steps leading up from the river. The 637 inhabitants were re-housed on the Sunnyside Estate with some not leaving their yards until the final moments. There was more demolition in the 1950s and when Barnard’s Yard came down, a Tudor half crown was found under the floor. Local Councillor, Charles Worbey built himself a new house with the Elizabethan materials and some of it went to America for use in a replica of Hampton Court. | Family: Benjamin HOLT / Mary Ann MADDOCK (F237)
|
| 228 | Based on the 1921 Census, he marries Ann STEPPINGS, and they have 3 children at the census. | GUY, George James (I1024)
|
| 229 | Based on the internet records, this is the only relevant marriage for some years in the vicinity of North Tawton between William Moore and Mary. So whilst it is slightly bothering not to find any earlier births, and finding them all in North Tawton, it does seem to be the most logical fit. | Family: William MOORE / Mary BROOKLAND (F294)
|
| 230 | Based on the same christian names and the same date of birth in the 1939 Register, she is assumed to marry Charles DOWNES on 8/12/1897 at Emmanuel Church, Forest Gate, Essex (where her father is given as Joseph FREEMAN, Fish Salesman; and again consistent with the data I have). The rest of the data is predicated on this. There is a slight problem with the 1901 Census. The most obvious (where she is Louise DOWNES), has her mother as VICKERS. But the children etc all match. To be investigated further. The most likely, but not at all definite, death is in Essex in 1952. | FREEMAN, Mary Ann Louisa (I122)
|
| 231 | Based on the Southwark vaccination records, there was a son born on Jan 2nd 1887, Edward, who appears to have died the same day. | Family: Edward John Valentine DESBOROUGH / Emma IMPEY (F180)
|
| 232 | Believed to be the correct marriage. The later census and death information for Elizabeth WILKIE matches the life before marriage. The witnesses include Arthur Jackman, so not her father, but a brother, and assumed that the father was unable to be present? | Family: John WILKEY / Elizabeth JACKMAN (F319)
|
| 233 | Benjamin, although son of Benjamin and Sarah, may not be this family, but another, given the gap between his birth and Sarah's, and the likely age of his parents... | HOUGHTON, Benjamin (I473)
|
| 234 | best census match on John Jones for Alverstoke in 1841 is a butcher | Family: John JONES / Jane VYE (F379)
|
| 235 | Best info found so far has bapt St Mary Whitechapel 16/9/1714, aged 7 (think it says born 18/10/1706) d of Ephraim Miller. No info on death | MILLER, Hannah (I358)
|
| 236 | Best match on birth is Sep qtr 1855 Hemel Hempstead, vol 3a, p 274, as Ann Maria Monger Death in 1922 is slightly at odds with her not being in the 1920 Electoral roll, but it is possible that she did not want to go in. | MONGER, Maria (I49)
|
| 237 | Best match on death is Portsea Dec qtr 1887 Note - probable baptism record has her surname as VYE. But for most of her unmarried life she was VEY. | VEY, Mary (I1186)
|
| 238 | best match on death would seem to be either Jan qtr 1839, Camberwell vol 4 p120, ie he died about the time that son Henry was conceived, or Oct 1840, Wandsworth (near to Newington) vol 4 p 404. Or of course that the records are lieing - there are earlier possible deaths, in which case Henry would not be his biological son..... The most promising record is of a burial of a 37 year old on 17/12/1840 in Bermondsey. The age given is 37. If so then he might be James Charles Hall born in Wandsworth 23/2/1804 to William and Ann (GLOYNE). But this is a common name and apart from the dates matching there is not much to confirm this. Another possibility on IGI is James born 27/1/1803 to Abraham and Sarah, bapt 1815 | HALL, James (I375)
|
| 239 | Best match on marriage is Jun 1900 qtr, St Saviour 1d, 330 to Edith Maud SMALE. William James, with Edith and son William HV are at 25, Thornbury Road, Clapham in 1923. Also there is Frederick George BROOKS, who is described as a cousin in the 1911 Census. Note also according to the 1911 Census there is a daughter, Victoria MELBOURNE, aged 16, for whom the enumerator has said WJ Webb is the father | WEBB, William James (I10)
|
| 240 | Birth and Death details are best guesses. There do not appear to be any sensible baptisms in South Tawton, hence the use of something from a nearby village. Later burials are possible, but they are linked to wills, which seems unlikely and so not preferred. | BATTISHILL, James (I748)
|
| 241 | Birth date is slightly unlear, fairly certain it is Aug (not Apr as IGI), but could be 28 rather than 26th. | BENNETT, Jessie Maria (I865)
|
| 242 | Birth location may be St George's Row.... baptism register is not clear. The death information (for Cecil Hopkins) is considered accurate for Arthur as the fold 3 thumbnail on Ancestry clearly identifies his mother. | HOPKINS, Arthur Harold Cecil (I482)
|
| 243 | Birth registration is the only one where the mothers maiden name is Taylor. Possible marriage to Frederick John BURTON 26/8/1888, (in Islington) and there are Elizabeth BURTONs in the 1891, 1901 and 1911 censuses in Islington, but it seems unlikely that she married there unless she was in service there. The father (John)'s occupation is unclear. Alternatively she dies Q2 1885, Camberwell | WEBB, Elizabeth (I6)
|
| 244 | Birthdate based on baptism details. The IGI records the month as Aug. but this is almost certainly a transcription error. I am not sure how the age given at the census was so consistently inaccurate too. I can find no record of a suitable death between 1881 and 1901. There are possibles (eg Q1/1891, Hendon, Q4/1895, Marylebone), but they almost certainly relate to somebody else. | BENNETT, Thomas (I864)
|
| 245 | Both are remembered on the gravestone of their daughter, Norah-Marion Elain Fisher (28/8/1909-12/12/1933) at St Mary Parish Church, Cemetery, Chart Lane, Reigate | Family: Henry Percy FISHER / Ethel Maud Mary LING (F302)
|
| 246 | Both George and Emma were living at 5, Flint St when they married He served in the Army Post Office Corps. He served from 24/8/1894 for 1 day(?). There is evidence that he had a court martial but the details are unclear. He then served on the reserve list. He was recalled to Army service under a special Army order dated 7/10/1899 and rejoined on 9/10/99. He served in South Africa in the Boer War and was made Corporal 1/3/1900 and Sargeant 1/11/00. He was discharged 23/8/01 with a war gratuity. The personal information on him includes the following fair compexion brown hair and eyes scar above the left eyebrow Height 6' 5 3/4" (or 5' 5 3/8"). Weight 119 lbs. At discharge, he described his next of kin as Elizabeth WEBB, 5, Flint St (ie his mother, not his wife Emma), but he did say his intended home was 24, Flint St presumably (based on 1901 Census), with Emma etc. He states his marriage as 3/6/95 (rather than 2/6/95). Cannot find any evidence in the divorce records up to 1911, but appears to be living away from Emma at both 1911 and 1921 Censuses There is a George Benjamin WEBB at 46,Paulin St, Southwark in 1897 (also with William Edwin BARBER at the same address) Cannot find him in Kent in the 1938 phone directory At the 1939 Register, he is No 3 in the list, living with Fanny MILES (nee EDWARDS) and her son Dennis. Fanny is a "housekeeper", and married Ernest Edward MILES in 1921, with a son (Ernest) born later that year. One of the family stories is that all his money went to his daughter Annie, and none to the other 2 surviving children. There does not seem to be any record of a will for George (anything) Webb in 1942, 3, 4, nor a Benjamin Webb in 1942. If there was no will, then the intestacy rules from the act that was current (1925) say that for an intestacy death, with no surviving spouse, there should be a statutory trust, with (broadly) the estate shared amongst the surviving children. The executors would nomally be the beneficiaries. Is it possible that in a time of war, the oldest sister took more than a third? Or maybe George gave her, for instance, the house before he died. Or even, perhaps George did not own the house (if he is No 3 in the 1939 Register), and so there was not actually very much money. Even the location of the house is unclear. The 1939 Register says it is "Jocelyn" in Yorkletts Road, Whitstable. The death notice says Jocelyn in Yorkletts. I can find no record of Yorkletts Road in Whitstable at that time, so it seems more likely it is a house in Yorkletts, and the 1939 Register information has been adjusted to match this. | WEBB, George Benjamin (I12)
|
| 247 | Both William and Judith came from West Lulworth | Family: William VEY / Judith COLLINS (F373)
|
| 248 | Boxley Abbey is just north of Maidstone. His parents were Joshua and Elizabeth BAKER, and the names suggest a Jewish connection but there is no evidence for this. Most likely that they married 8/6/1829 at St Mary the Virgin at Boxley (and so Elizabeth was already pregnant) His army discharge records confusingly quote his age to imply a birth in 1931. Not clear why. Other information is more useful... Joined up 7/10/1859 Left 7/5/1872. He was 5ft 8.75in, fresh complexion, hazel eyes, brown hair, no distinguishing marks. His intended address on discharge 6, Fox Terrace, New Brompton, Kent. This is near Gillingham. It also says he was a sapper, but obviously for the censusses he thought his muscian skills more important, I can find no convincing evidence for the 1841 and 1851 Censusses. The most likely would seem to be that Joshua died (buried 15/4/1840 at St Mary, Chatham, aged 35). Elizabeth and the family are at Upchurch, on the southern coast in 1841, and then Abraham is in Deal in 1851 (aged 24, occ Tailor, but born in Deal). | DENNIS, Abraham Ambrose (I1172)
|
| 249 | Burial details actually say "death" on the transcript but assumed to be a mistake - the burial would record just that, not the death | HULL, George (I1202)
