551 most likely marriage Jun qtr 1897 to Grace Gertrude H HARVEY Brentford

have found marriage licence May 1897

There is a very extensive Naval career, details attached. He is sometimes known as Rear Admiral WV Juniper of Kensington. More details in a separate document, but summary of his naval career as follows:-
On 15 Jan 1891, he is noted as “addl for change of R????? S????”. On 1 Oct 1891 he transfers to the Victory.
On 19 Apr 1895, he is promoted from Engineer to Chief Engineer
On 2 Apr 1899, he is promoted to Staff Engineer (Engineer Commander according to the Navy List of 1907)
On 1 Apr 1912, he is promoted to Engineer Captain
On 28 Nov 1916 he is promoted to Engineer Rear Admiral.
He was made CB in an announcement dated 27 June 1919 - “For valuable services in the 8th and 6th Battle Squadrons, at the Dardanelles, and on the staff of the Commander-in-Chief, Nore 
JUNIPER, William Vey (I1034)
 
552 Most likely married Frank Francis LEA Q4, 1905, and that defines the later records used. For instance although the DOB is different in the 1939 Register, the 1911 Census places her with her parents..... STAPLETON, Jessie Victoria (I316)
 
553 Most likely option seems to be she was unmarried and was buried in Offley (about 15miles away) 2/3/1836, age given as 80. IMPEY, Ann (I455)
 
554 Most likely parents are Thomas and Sarah, assuming a baptism Jan 1786 at St Albans. PIKE, Joseph (I219)
 
555 most likely scenario is that she married Frank AKERMAN 11/4/1925, and this means her death was 1986 and her birth given then is 20 Nov 1901, which also matches 1939 Register.

Note also the 1939 Register has a (widow) Helma(?) STAPLETON born 17/2/1866; maybe an aunt? 
STAPLETON, Margaret Ethel Dorothy (I314)
 
556 Most likely to be 8/5/1814, father (or mother?) given as Innkeeper VYE, Jane (I1058)
 
557 Most of the information for the family makes sense, but there are still some uncertainties.

The marriage of William and Ann notes that William came from Gt Yarmouth and Ann from Somerlyton, which is possibly a reason for them moving there. I would like to have found an Ann baptised in Yarmouth immediately after the marriage, who might then have died, but cannot see any such person. The chosen marriage also has a marriage licence, in which William is noted as a mariner. The licence is dated 25 Aug, hence the marriage is assumed to have taken place in Aug, and very probably on the same day as the licence was provided.

Somerleyton and Herringfleet are very close to each other, so it is reasonable that the younger children were baptised in Herringfleet. Although there is a William and Elizabeth there, there does not seem to be an obvious alternative couple to our one, though there is a William Ellis marrying Susannah Marshal in Gt Yarmouth in 1758. The fact that there is a record of this Ann dieing in Herringfleet but being buried in Somerleyton is very significant. 
Family: William ELLIS / Ann CHAPMAN (F353)
 
558 Most probably marries Susannah HOOPER 2/10/1811 in Willian. Susannah maybe was bapt 21/7/1793 in Willian to Benjamin and Mary, and died Jul qtr 1845. Whilst there is no particular reason to assume this is right, it is believable, and is the basis for the 1841 Census details adopted.

The 1841 Census also has a 15 year old girl. Ancestry translates it as "Mary Matthews", however there definitely appears to be a "ditto" symbol over the edge of the box. The 1851 Census, assuming it is still the same person, and this is likely given the occupation given, has Mary HILLSDEN, wife of Charles. The later information for this Mary has in some records a likely Mary Martha Hooper HILLSDEN, and so almost certainly the person baptised in Willian in 1826 to James and Susan. "Mary Martha Do." is definitely a possible transliteration of the entry in the 1841 Census, and hence the later Censuses for James are considered reasonable. 
IMPEY, James (I406)
 
559 Much of what is here for William and his ancestry is definitely speculative. But key is that his marriage to Martha states his father is Henry. So this is based on the only Henry that I can find - who married Virtue (slightly strangely, she is in Corfe Castle, though the IGI info has her baptised in Lulworth; so maybe she was working in Corfe, albeit it is a long way away). One site on the internet says they were cousins.

There is also another William VEY who married Maria COCHRAN in 1811 and clearly some of the possible children come from that marriage. I have taken the approach that those who have Mary rather than Maria as a mother are those of this William and Mary marriage.

Note also that although I cannot find William in the 1841 Census, there is Jane and Mary at Alverstoke (near Gosport), so it is likely that William was at sea?

VYE, William (I1032)
 
560 My father, who investigated this wrote:

"There appears to be no record on birth or marriage indexes. This person probably doesn't exist. The name was probably invented to ensure a more socially acceptable birth registration for the children"

When Emma marries, Frank is stated as deceased. So if this is true, he died before 2 Jun 1895.
Pro tem I am using birth and death dates based on my investigations to see what Ancestry throws up....born 1832 died 1889

Looking for any Frank (and variants) MERRINGTON anywhere in the UK, any dates, only one person crops up. This person and no other appears when looking for Frank (and variants) MERRINGTON (and variants) in Hertfordshire or within 20 miles. So this is my view of things:-

Frank, or more often Francis, appears in the following Censuses

1851 - Ploughboy in Hemel Hempstead
1861 - Ploughman at Brick Kiln, Northchurch, Berkhamstead
1871 - Ag Lab at same address
1881 - as 1871

1859 Q1 marries Edith GARMENT in Berkhamstead

In 1871, he is a few miles from where Ann Meridon is, but both Ann and Frank's wife and daughters are straw plaiters. I just think that they got together and he is the father of Emma and Kate. Fanny appears to have been promiscuous and maybe Edith was too. 
MERRINGTON, Frank (I18)
 
561 My parents knew or remembered her as Diana FENTON, Kate (I689)
 
562 Name deduced from mother of Alfred's children, and then best marriage match BENDY, Eliza Elizabeth (I284)
 
563 Name given is based on most common records, but note in 1881 Census, he is Albert.

Lots of possible birth records as either Alfred or Albert.

Alfred's school admission details (for Rolls Road School) lists his address in 1879 as 6, ?Ravel? Rd; probably close enough to the baptism records.

Death details are difficult to confirm but the following provides something consistent for both Albert and Edith.

Albert appears to have died Q1, 1955, Hackney, vol 5c, p893, aged 79. Buried at Abney Park Cemetry, Stoke Newington, plot section B01, Index 8S12.
Edith appears to have died Q4, 1961, Tonbridge, vol 5b, p1034, aged 88. Probate details indicate she died 26/11/1961, 105 St Johns Road, Tonbridge Wells, with the money going to Barclays Bank. But there is a record at Abney Park Cemetry of Edith Mary Webb died 1961 aged 88 in plot section B01, Index 8S15. Edith being in Tunbridge Wells is consistent with where Alfred died too.
 
WEBB, Alfred (I9)
 
564 Name of house is unclear; best interpretation used. Source (S356)
 
565 Nancy married Nigel WOODMAN. One internet site has him as Nigel Stuart Barrington WOODMAN (1897-1958), and a widower when he married Nancy. JACKMAN, Nancy Maria Victoria (I720)
 
566 Navy records of 1932 say he was not married, and he entered service 15/9/1923, as a naval cadet, then a midshipman, then Sub Lt 16/10/1930 and then Lt 16/11/1932.
On 21/10/1941 he was awarded the Polish Cross of Valour (Krzyz Walecznych) for recognition of services related to the Polish withdrawal from France in 1940
The Navy list of Oct 1942 says he was a Lt Commander at 16/11/1940, with a DSO
The Navy list of 1958 says he was a Commander at 31/12/1944, with a DSO and DSC.

A newspaper article from 1956 gives some other information about him...
from Liverpool Echo Thurs May 10th 1956
***********************************
WAJ was Service Advisor to the permanent British delegate at the UN, appointed Liverpool's admiralty liaison officer in May 1956 from Mon 14 May.....

....entered Dartmouth college as a cadet at the age of 13. In 1927 he won the coveted King's Dick, after being commissioned in 1921. (Not clear exactly what this is, but believed to be a sword or other trophy for being the top scoring cadet of the year)

During he war he commanded 5 destroyers, winning the D.S.O. in 1941, for the part he played in endeavouring to intercept the Scharnhorst and Gneisenau, when in command of the destroyer Whitshed. in 1944 he was awarded the D.S.C. for successfully intercepting an armed raider in the destroyer Worcester, then under his command.....

Married to a Frenchwoman, Commander Juniper has a daughter aged 17 and a son aged 8
*********************************
Two years later, the Liverpool Echo of 31 May 1958 said this
*********************************
[He] retired today
.......
Before taking up his appointment, ...[he] was in New York for two years as Service advisor to the British delegation at the United Nations.

*********************************
He is recorded as sailing to NewYork on the Queen Elizabeth which left Southampton on 27 Aug 1953, with the last address given as "Ministry of Defence, London". His wife was Nicole, and his son was Daniel. In the 1954, 1955 and 1956 Civil Service list, he is described as "Military Advisor to the United Kingdom Representative, United Nations Organisation"

The death index is presumably correct as it has the birth date on it. It is curious that probate for William Anthony Juniper was given in Ipswich to somebody who died 21 June 1986 at 124 College Road, Norwich. It is difficult to find other information on any different William Anthony Juniper, but Norwich is not Stevenage. 
JUNIPER, William Anthony (I1094)
 
567 No evidence found of a marriage to Benjamin, but between the 1851 and 1861 Censuses Mary Ann changed her surname from WEBB to FREEMAN.

On 20 Feb 1858, the Poor Law and Settlement records documentation says:-
"Benjamin Freeman 56 cohabiting with Mary Ann Webb 56 4 B children Joseph 12 born in Coventry St Geo 9 born in Coventry St Mary Ann 7 Coventry St James 3 born Bancroft Place xxxxxxxxxxx living 3 Parliament Place Cambridge Road he never etc(?) states born Solator(?) St- can give no information as to fathers settlement - was in Whitechapel 5 months Casual(?)" 
Family: Benjamin FREEMAN / Mary Ann LOVELL (F14)
 
568 No futher information is obvious in Census or BMD indices. The 1911 Census for her mother declares 1 child died, which could be Grace... JUNIPER, Grace Gertrude Lena Vey (I1104)
 
569 No info on birth etc in IGI. Baptism details are possible/probable (nothing else on internet sites) but not definite. Parents names come from this.

At 1851 the age has a line through it making it difficult to read. 67 looks most likely, although the "7" looks different to other 7s. It is possibly "63" which is certainly more accurate. 
HULL, Joseph (I1123)
 
570 No mention of his wife in the probate so presumably she had died. He left £36288 in his will. HOPSON, William Samuel (I992)
 
571 No obvious 1841 Census record. The most likely is in Lambeth living with Ann Jackman (aged 6), and Francis Jackman, all of whom are from outside the county.

There is a Rosabel Jackman bapt 25/4/1849 in N Tawton to Elizabeth Ann Jackman (unmarried) but it seems unlikely to be the same family. 
JACKMAN, Elizabeth Ann (I764)
 
572 No obvious census entry for 1861 or a marriage between 1851 and 1861 TAYLOR, Sarah Elizabeth (I66)
 
573 No obvious census, marriage or death after 1871. Most likely is she died in Kensington Jul qtr 1877, vol 1a, p100, aged 26. WEBB, Mary Ann Freeman (I64)
 
574 No obvious information on birth or death. Possible baptism on IGI 15/12/1739 - St Botolph without Aldgate - makes her 18 when she married; or St Dunston, Stepney - 2 possibilities in 1728 and 1729. If I had to choose between these options I would go for 1739, and hence this has been used. SKINNER, Ann (I327)
 
575 No obvious record in 1841 Census, nor in death indices. However there are a lot of DAVENPORTs in the NW, and if he had relatives and went to join them, it is possible.
 
DAVENPORT, William (I556)
 
576 No obvious record in 1841 Census, nor in death indices. However there are a lot of DAVENPORTs in the NW, and if he had relatives and went to join them, it is possible. DAVENPORT, Thomas (I557)
 
577 No obvious records after 1841 but there is a John LOVELL in 1861 Census with Eliz born Buckinghamshire (note 1841 says out of county birth) and g/d Susan, but not yet managed to make anything of this. He is given as a labourer, which is not very consistent with his woodcutter occupation earlier. (But he is a labourer at Catherine's baptism)

Note also a burial of John Lovell in 1847 at St Botolph, though of course this may be his son, or indeed somebody else entirely.

See also notes and relationship with Catherine, his daughter.

There is also a marriage at Thornborough in Buckinghamshire 29/10/1810 to Elizabeth HILL (note the 1861 Census above says that Elizabeth comes from Northamptonshire), there is a high chance this is the same John Lovell. What is less clear is whether it is the same person as fathers Mary Ann...... 
LOVELL, John (I26)
 
578 None of the potential marriages seem to fit in, so most likely would seem to be death 1837, Thingoe (near Bury) or 1847, Stow. There is no obvious 1841 census record so the 1837 seems most likely, however it is Stow that covers Woolpit. MOTHERSOLE, Elizabeth (I356)
 
579 Not obvious what happens to Henry. He does appear in Aylesbury 1851-1871 and dies in 1875 there, as a farmer married to Mary. There is no obvious record of a marriage to Mary (Mary Ann in 1875) - the only sensible marriage is 1854, but Henry's father given as William. IMPEY, Henry (I431)
 
580 Not on 1881 Census NASH, Henry George (I1044)
 
581 Not sure what happens after 1881. She is not obvious in the 1891 with same surname, no obvious marriages, and no obvious deaths. GUY, Fanny (I1150)
 
582 Note - 1851 Census says birthplace is Bournemouth, all other data says Portsmouth

Cannot find in 1901 Census... he probably died 1899 Tottenham. Note he appears in the 1899 Electoral register at 1, Alexandra Cottages, Cornwall Road, Tottenham.

Also worth noting that there is a Henry Guy born and buried in 1847 to James and Edith (THORN) from Portsea....James and Edith married 28/6/1836; I wonder if the James's are cousins. 
GUY, Henry Joseph (I1028)
 
583 Note - gravestone of WA Jackman says death 24 Jul 1955

Digby Hospital was also known as Exeter (lunatic) asylum in its earlier days. I assume that Arthur was a patient rather than a worker there. 
JACKMAN, Arthur John (I785)
 
584 Note - he was baptised about 6 months after his parents married. VEY, William (I960)
 
585 Note - his father is a Baker according to the 1841 Census, so this is a trade that definitely is in the family (though in 1851 he is listed as a Tanner). However these are the best match and are accepted WELTON, Thomas Edward (I291)
 
586 Note - In the 1851 Census he is there with George FREEMAN's (Fanny's sister) brother, but as a sibling (ie called Henry FREEMAN), rather than a nephew. This is assumed to be an error.

Married Elizabeth CLARK Apr qtr 1857 Hemel Hempstead vol 3a, p394.

He was convicted of Larceny and sentenced to 12 months at Hertford on 15/10/1866. The local newspapers add some colour, but the crime was for the theft of 7 fowl

By 1881 Census, Elizabeth describes herself as a widow but no sign of Henry in the death indexes from 1871 to 1881. However noting Bertie's birth, and assuming he was the father, that would suggest he died after about 1876. 
MERRIDON, Henry (I78)
 
587 Note - In the 1851 Census he is there with George FREEMAN's (Fanny's sister) brother, but as a sibling (ie called Joseph FREEMAN), rather than a nephew. This is assumed to be an error.
 
MERRIDON, Joseph (I79)
 
588 Note - In the 1851 Census she is there with George FREEMAN, and her mother Fanny, but with a surname of FREEMAN. This is assumed to be an error.

There is no obvious birth or baptism record, perhaps because Fanny was cautious about going public about there being no father.

It is not clear what happens after this. I can find no clear record, maybe the most likely is the death of a Maria Kezia MERRINGTON in 1865 in Shoreditch.
 
MEREDEN, Keziah (I1314)
 
589 Note - on the marriage cert for Anne, and George(?), he is John William Webb. However this is not how he in on the birth certificate, nor the Censuses so the addition is probably something that the child concerned added.

Best match on deaths may be
Dec 1892 - John Webb a 48 West Ham
or Sept 1895 - John Webb a53 West Ham (this is attached to the tree of a different John Webb - http://trees.ancestry.co.uk/tree/18025726/person/638091939)
These dates may be consistent with a John WEBB as an inmate at the Strand Union Workhouse, Edmonton in 1991. The birth place is correct as Bethnal Green, he gives his age as 53 (not 49) and says he is unmarried. On the whole this seems unlikely. However the other 1891 Census options seem even less likely. So I think he died before 1891, and Elizabeth, his widow, just lied to say she was married. In this case, possible options would be Oct qtr 1884 Woolwich, aged 45, Islington, Apr qtr 1891 (aged 50).

There is a Jno Webb buried in Camden on 4/3/1895, though of course it is highly likely to be somebody else. 
WEBB, John (I22)
 
590 Note - the address where John is in the 1871 Census is the same as his brother James is at the 1861 Census.

married to Mary Ann TURNER 17/8/1865 St Thomas, Portsmouth. James his father describes himself as a "Gilder", and his sister Sarah is a winess. 
GUY, John Richard (I1146)
 
591 Note - the way in which the registers have been scanned is somewhat confusing - a number of sites put the year as 1740. JACKMAN, Alexander (I783)
 
592 Note - there is another Emma Cocksedge in Hessett at the 1841 census, aged 10, but not with Henry. I have found this Emma (who is with John and Sophia(SULLEY) on the LDS database as christened 6/6/1830). So I conclude that the later census's and Emma's uinderstanding of her age is wrong. COCKSEDGE, Emma (I568)
 
593 Note at the 1891 Census is Annie, her daughter, aged 19. Not sure who this is, but might be Mary

Cannot find an obvious 1911 census and there is no conclusive death between 1901 and1911, but the most likely would be Jan qtr 1904, Poplar, aged 67. 
BERTRAND, Susan Amelia (I89)
 
594 Note bishops transcription of baptisms has this on 19th May 1743.

There appear to be a number of possible marriages and burials in Halifax, and there is nothing to choose between them. 
HOLT, John (I492)
 
595 Note Elizabeth was baptised at the parish chuch, not the non conformist chapel. But the other information seems reasonable, and there is no obvious other Wilkey family in the area. WILKEY, Elizabeth (I725)
 
596 Note IGI record says birth, but assumed to be baptism, albeit that the birth was probably not long before.

Burial at Preston is maybe a little way from Weymouth, but is probably where husband William is later buried, so this is adopted. 
MOON, Martha (I1085)
 
597 Note in the register, Richard is described as "daughter", but assumed to be a mistake on gender rather than name MOORE, Richard (I774)
 
598 Note that at baptism, Harriett's parents are William and Ann, whilst at 1841 Census they are William and Mary. However all the other details line up, so presumably Harriett's mother was Mary Ann EMERY, Harriett (I520)
 
599 Note that at the 1861 Census, she is at the home of the Conon of Grosvenor Chapel.

Susannah was baptised again into the RC church (as "Susanna") on 16 Nov 1898, I think following her "conversion" 
JACKMAN, Susanna (I709)
 
600 Note that at the time of the 1861 Census he is quoted as married, although the IGI record has him marrying the following July.

Henry's parents are variously Killop and Mary (HCC transcription), Caleb and Mary (sister Harriet's baptism, HCC transcription), Hillop and Mary (IGI). 
NASH, Henry (I1043)
