| 801 | The baptism record says she was born Oct 1852, but the BMD indices confirm this is 1851. The address is given as "Albert Row", but there is no obvious Albert Row. I assume it is Albert Road, given the Census address for her parents, and the Vicar misheard when writing in the entry. It is not clear what happened after this.... she does not appear to be in the 1861 Census, but of course the rest of the family is dispersed. The most likely is she died and this is recorded in Steyning Q4, 1860. She was buried 22/10/1860, with her age given as 9. Steyning is close to where some of the family are in 1861 (Caroline in Shoreham, Edmund in Brighton). | HARDING, Anna Amelia (I1134)
|
| 802 | The baptism records are clear that he is born 1860. But it may be that there is a mistake and it should be 1861, which is then more consistent with the Census records, though even then it is not definite. So for the time being it is assumed he was born 1860. | FRASER, William (I798)
|
| 803 | The baptism records are Dec 1737 and then follows Jan 1737, the latter assumed to be a mistake and it should be Jan 1738 | HOLT, Sara (I486)
|
| 804 | The baptism records are unclear - but the birth is definitely given as 7th XXXX 1856. The first letter appears to be either a J, T or F. The birth was registered Q1 1857, and July looks like the best fit to the handwriting, so this is assumed correct. Birth registered as Susan Ann, but the parents could have meant Susannah, and this is how she is recorded at the 1861 Census. There is very little information that is reliable. She might be a domestic servant in 1881 for Joseph and Susannah ELDRIDGE (aged 23). | TAYLOR, Susan Ann (I92)
|
| 805 | The baptism records note him as a pauper. There is a possible burial also in Great Gaddesden on 8/4/1789, also noting him as pauper. There are no ages given so it is not definite that this is the same James | FREEMAN, James (I182)
|
| 806 | The baptism records Sarah as 3 years old. She is baptised the same day as her sister Mary. The details for Sarah from 1827 onwards are the best match and appear to be consistent within themselves. Edward ALDRIDGE married Elizabeth ANSELL in 1823 in Stevenage and she was buried (probably) 10/6/1827. | HOLT, Sarah (I264)
|
| 807 | The baptism register notes that he was "brought to church" on 5th July 1776. Coupled with the baptism of Henry and Sarah a few days later suggests that perhaps the family were away from church for several years... | HEARD, John (I1251)
|
| 808 | The baptism register says she was living at 4, Pleasant Row, however this is a little way away from 4, Little Pleasant Row where William was born in 1879 and where they were for the 1881 Census, so I am assuming this was a typo. Probate was £156 to William James DESBOROUGH (presumably her brother), occ retired railway porter. Have found Sarah DESBOROUGH in the Electoral Roll at various dates from 1918 to 1954, living with others, presumably a servant, though she is at 29, Pepler Road from 1945 to 1951 with a different person - so maybe she owns the house and has lodgers. When she dies, her address is given as 29, Poplar (should be Pepler) Rd., Old Kent Road. This was parallel to Cobourg Road and Trafalgar Avenue, running south from Nile Terrace, and is now a park. Newington Lodge where she died is nearby. | DESBOROUGH, Sarah (I525)
|
| 809 | The best match on baptism is a location 17-20 miles away. The baptism record only gives her mother Honey, no father. Elizabeth gives her maiden name as FARROW (or at least that is what the vicar heard) when her daughter Elizabeth is baptised. | FEATHERS, Elizabeth (I1162)
|
| 810 | The birth address is unclear, but "Barnsley" appears to be the most likely. | TAYLOR, James William (I95)
|
| 811 | The birth and baptism info is clear, however the birth was not registered until Q1 in 1849. Marries Caroline GODDING 9/7/1872 at St. James, Milton, Portsmouth The death details on board ship seem unlikely at first glance, but in 1881 Caroline is a widow, and the youngest child was 2, so born around 1879, and therefore he must have been alive up to about 1878. The DOB and name in the naval records match our William, and in addition, he is given as a baker (and a labourer) in the naval records, matching the stated profession of our William. So I conclude that they are the same person.... So it would seem that William served from 12/7/1873 to his death on 26/10/1878 on ?Simoone?, Raleigh, Duke of Wellington, and finally Crocodile. The death details say "DD 26.10.78 at sea of apoplexy". Apoplexy is probably a stroke According to https://www.garenewing.co.uk/angloafghanwar/resources/troopship_crocodile.php, HMS Crocodile was a troopship, ferrying soldiers via Suez to India, where they most probably were engaged in the war with Afghanistan. On the 26 Oct, the ship was sailing from Suez to Bombay (Mumbai). | NASH, William James (I1045)
|
| 812 | The birth certificate and baptism transcript gives his name as James, but he seems to variously be James Albert and Albert James through his life. The baptism transcript has his birth as 16 Dec, but this is assumed to be a mistake. The address where James is in the 1861 Census is the same as his brother John is at the 1871 Census. | GUY, James (I1158)
|
| 813 | The birth details are the most common on the internet, and appear to be the most likely for somebody born in or around Owermoigne and aged 18-28 at his wedding. The burial has been picked on the basis the birth of the youngest child, yet found. | GUY, Joseph (I925)
|
| 814 | The birth details given are the most likely from IGI, but they are not definite. The death is even more difficult to locate - there are a number of possibilities in the area. | SMITH, Henry Charles (I322)
|
| 815 | The birth information comes from the 1939 Register, it may be 26 May, but I think it is 16 May. | COOMBE, Samuel (I1311)
|
| 816 | The Bishops marriage transcript has William coming from Clannaborough, and this is likely to be fairly accurate. There is no obvious baptism information. There is a burial transcription for William (DELL and DELVE) buried in Clannaborough on 14/1/1828, aged 73, "of Bow". This suggests he might have gone back "home" at the end of his life, particularly if he was widowed at that stage. However the best info for Mary his wife is that she died in 1837...... There is a Samuel, James and John Delve, all born Bow between 1808 and 1823 who might be grandsons of William, from an older son than Samuel......There are no more details on IGI. | DELL, William (I819)
|
| 817 | The book "Croydon and the Second World War" (1949) indicates that he was a captain in the Royal Engineers, and an MBE. There is no obvious 1939 Register entry. His military record in the Royal Engineers says Service 21/5/1920 to 3/2/1941, most of which appears to have been overseas. I cannot understand the record, but he was at the Suez Canal in the months before he stopped. | JENKINS, Leonard Bennett (I683)
|
| 818 | The burial date comes as the most reasonable match for Great Gaddesden. If she was right about her age, then the most likely birth information is then for Mary MAILS at Flamstead, about 4 miles away. Likely to be reasonable but in no sense certain. The only consistent reference on the internet in Great Gaddesden is to Mary MILES bapt Nov1760 to Joseph and Mary. This suggests she might have been 15 (if baptised as an infant) when she married, which is possible. Marriage witnesses to the marriage to Frances Freeman were Thomas SIMMONS and Robert KING. Robert witnessed other marriages as the church so does not help on names. I cannot find Thomas Simmons as an obvious connection to any possible family. Looking through burial details and other marriages does not indicate much but Mary MEALS, born 1760 is buried at Great Gaddesden on 22/7/1835, so if this person is a spinster (and the records do not show), then this is probably the Mary MILES bapt Nov 1760. On balance though "Mails" is probably closer phonetically to "Miles", and the ages are better. So Mary Mails and not Miles is chosen. | MAILS, Mary (I155)
|
| 819 | The burial details are considered correct, as it references him as "son of John and Joan Guy", ie it was a child. | GUY, James (I1229)
|
| 820 | The burial details are speculative but fit with the rest of the story. No age is given but she is described as a "Married Woman". Working back from this, the baptism records seem the most likely, given the fact that there is then a brother named Skoyles, and possibly this being the mother's maiden name. However it is 17 miles from Shotesham to Tunstead, and there is Norwich (which would be the most likely place of employment nearby) between Shotesham and Tunstead. | PUXLEY, Susannah (I980)
|
| 821 | The burial is speculative, but highly likely given that the register says "of Spreyton". | JACKMAN, Arthur (I625)
|
| 822 | The burial record refers to "Westminster" cemetery.... which is an old name for Brompton Cemetery. | JACKMAN, Laura (I732)
|
| 823 | The census enumeration suggests that "Hammer" is part of Abinger, but I think it refers to the vast majority of the village known as Abinger Hammer | Source (S429)
|
| 824 | The census has no other address information other than "Bovingdon" | Source (S2816)
|
| 825 | The census information is varied in terms of birth location, but the BMD records say Anglesey so this has been chosen. Her second name is clearly meant to be "Gertrude", but the earliest contemporary record is the BMD, which gives it as "Guartrude". The baptism details are a transcript by the local vicar in 1940, and I cannot find the original, which perhaps would say "Gertrude". Grace's parents were John (Navy officer and then engineer) and Grace. At the 1901 Census, she describes herself as "Married" and "Head" (William is on board ship). Note that the Findagrave transcript says she died in 1939, but the probate record is clear that it is 1935. | HARVEY, Grace Guartrude Hughes (I1033)
|
| 826 | The children identified for John and Martha are all those born to John and Martha Hunt in Willian in the period 1727-1747. | Family: John HUNT / Martha BONHEST (F248)
|
| 827 | The CWGC burial information says he was in A Coy, 1st Btn, Hampshire Regiment, ser no 16064. | TAYLOR, Leonard Walter (I73)
|
| 828 | The CWGC for Leonard says he was their only son, and they were living at 122, Brooke Road, Stoke Newington. He was described as a Civil Servant. | Family: Leonard Walter TAYLOR / Martha Ann PERKS (F19)
|
| 829 | The CWGC has the following information:- Number 2041 He was a Corporal in the 4th Bn., Cameron Highlanders Buried at Le Touret Memorial, France Additional information Son of the late John and Jessie Anderson; husband of Letitia Ethel Anderson, of "Lulworth", Lyme Regis Rd., Banstead, Surrey. Served in the South African Campaign with the City Imperial Volunteers (C.I.V.) | ANDERSON, George Gordon (I619)
|
| 830 | The data presented appears to be the best match from information on the internet. A number of trees present her maiden name as WATTS, and married 1834, but this does not seem as likely. The baptism records are covered on the internet, but the transcript is consistent with what can be seen. The 1861 Census age is assumed to be a mistake | COOMBE, Elizabeth (I844)
|
| 831 | The data used for William's ancestors has come from parish registers and appears to be the best match. Bygrave is closest to Willian and so has been chosen over parishes further away. | IMPEY, William (I398)
|
| 832 | The death data is not definite, but seems probable, so it is included. I have found a Pte George Garner of the 1st Btn, Bedfordshire Regiment killed (buried in Belgium) on 9/10/1917, which matches the probate information. The address appears to be that of his father George, to whom probate was granted. So this is taken to be our George. | GARNER, George (I65)
|
| 833 | The death is reasonable as it gives 72, Somers Road as her home. Perhaps she was in Devon because her brother, William, was there and died there in 1924. | JUNIPER, Mary Jane (I1098)
|
| 834 | The death of Thomas is supported by the fact that at the baptism of Susannah and Elizabeth in 1826, he was noted as deceased. | DAVENPORT, Thomas (I558)
|
| 835 | The details after 1841 are probably wrong, though there is no obvious solution. The reason for assuming this is a) the only reference to Alfred Joseph after 1841 comes in the marriage (1857), where he gives his father as Thomas. Thomas does have children Alfred and Susannah in 1851 Census, and of course Susannah appears as a sister to Alfred in 1861. This then fits with a BMD death record in 1869. The death, marriage and 1861 all have him as an "oil and colourman", so is likely to be the same person. b) there are no obvious records for Alfred or Susannah in 1851 and 1861 - we know that at least Henrietta Susannah was alive. The theory for this is that with both parents dying the children must have gone to another part of the family or to an orphanage. It would be reasonable for Thomas to claim them as his own. The downside is that Thomas's children appear to be in both 1851 and 1841 Census, and this would involve some double counting and I am not sure this could be pulled off. So the only conclusion is that there are some lost records or at least some that are not available on the internet. | HALL, Alfred Joseph (I283)
|
| 836 | The details are more speculative than other people born around this time, for instance the parents names and father's occupation are not given in the baptism register. The baptism was private, maybe because of her parents. However, they are consistent within themselves, and the baptism was at the same church where the parents were married, and the burial is consistent with the death register. The birth register has Grace's maiden name, and the birth presumed is consistent with the GRO register. | DESBOROUGH, Florence (I274)
|
| 837 | The details for Thomas in censuses, marriage and death etc are probably correct. There is another possible Thomas Impey who lived with his wife Jane in Willian, but the witness in their marriage seems unknown and also that Thomas does say he came from Willian, whereas the one chosen here says he comes from Benington. So I have used the Benington one, though without more info at marriage it is difficult to be certain. | IMPEY, Thomas (I415)
|
| 838 | The details here are based on the fact that at Richard's baptism (which is only a transcript), the details only mention his mother Jane, who was presumably unmarried, hence the surname given here. See also some notes on Richard (some of which are identical to those here) I cannot find any sensible marriages between a Jane and somebody called Knowles. The only Jane Knowles I can find in the area was bapt 1707, which makes Richard's birth quite late. This Jane appears to marry Peter INCH in 1743 and he dies in 1746. There is a possible burial of Jane Inch in 1750 and 1778 (and other possibles). So this seems unlikely. Looking at exact matches, the most likely possibilities would be Jane Knowles bapt 1730 at Slapton, on the south Devon coast (44 miles on foot), but probably buried 1742, or, perhaps Jane NOWELL, bapt 4/2/1738/9 (better age), Kingswear, (41 miles on foot), daughter of Oads(?) and Susana. There are various possibilities of her burial either near to Kingswear, assuming she went back home and near Clannaborough. Or she might have then married, again with lots of possibilities. Another possibility, perhaps best, is Joan Knowles, bapt 1737 at Rackenford, daughter of William. Rackenford is 14 miles from Clannaborough. In this case it is highly likely she married Hugh PAYNE 14/3/1763 at Rackenford. Lastly, there are no obvious baptisms for a 20 year period either side of 1757 for a Knowles with a mother called Jane. So it is possible that Richard's mother just invented a surname. In that case Richard may have grown up with any surname. | KNOWLES, Jane (I910)
|
| 839 | The details of Jeremiah etc are a consistent set, though there is no real certainty that these are the right people,just that they seem to have the right names and dates... There is a Jeremiah SLOW buried 12/12/1780, Chelsea, but this is not considered right at the moment | SLOW, Jeremiah (I584)
|
| 840 | The details of this family are complicated, because of the use of the TOMS surname. A likely birth record is Oct qtr 1888, Gravesend, vol 2a, p507 for Thomas Alfred LITTLEMORE | LITTLEMORE, Tommy (I1135)
|
| 841 | The details presented are the most obvious fit assuming that all the data is on the internet. But they do, for instance involve Peter and Mary trekking between Walcott and Happisburgh (2.2 miles between centres, though of course we do not know where they actually lived). | JUNIPER, Peter (I970)
|
| 842 | The Devon baptisms transcript has birth 22/6/1822, but this assumed to be baptism. Probate of £170 goes to John ("Gentleman") rather than Frank, who presumably would need the money more | DELL, Fanny (I838)
|
| 843 | The Docklands baptism transcript identifies his parents as Thomas and Susanna. May have married Hester HUNT, 14 Jan 1822. He may also have married Ann TAYLOR 18 Jun 1832. There is no obvious wife with him in the 1841 Census. He was convicted and sentenced on 5/1/1846 at the Central Criminal Court for 4 months for ?Assualt and malicious wounding? There is a Benjamin Freeman (son of Thomas) of 17 Bath St., Bethnal Green - ie very consistent with our person, who was described as a fishmonger, free by Patrimony, ie presumably meaning his father was a member too, who was admitted into the Haberdashers Company on 3/9/1822 | FREEMAN, Benjamin (I31)
|
| 844 | The document "Some Rough Materials for a History of the Hundred of North Erpingham, Vol. 1, 1883 - Compilation of Published Sources" says he was an inhabitant of Mundesley for "upwards of 70 years". So he presumably moved with his parents around 1798 when his mother died???? Another JUNIPER baptised in Horning around the same time - Maria (abt 1796) appears to have the same parents but not really sufficient info to properly decide. This will be the subject of further research. Maria appears as an aunt in the 1861 Census to William and Benjamin SMITH. Skyles does appear to have been well off. In the later census he is a farmer with 19 acres (is this the land from Peter above?), employs a boy and appears in the electoral register, presumably as a land owner, in the 1830s. .... so where did the money come from? | JUNIPER, Skyles (I986)
|
| 845 | The document "Some Rough Materials for a History of the Hundred of North Erpingham, Vol. 1, 1883 - Compilation of Published Sources" says that 7 grandchildren "died in infancy" | Family: Peter JUNIPER / Susannah PUXLEY (F349)
|
| 846 | The enumerator appears to have written "Uddishill", but there appears to be no such place, so it is assumed to be a communication problem. | Source (S1673)
|
| 847 | The enumerator has clearly put 13a, even though there is no 13, just 11 and 15. Also it is surprising the family moved from No 13 where Mary Ann was born. | Source (S505)
|
| 848 | The enumerator has generally written "Redbourne St or Chapel St" (once writing "Chapel St or Redbourne St."). I can find no record of a Redbourne St - there is a Redbourne Road nearby - so I have just used "Chapel St" in the address. There is a problem in that it appears from 1 site that the road was only called Chapel street from 1845 (when a chapel was opened) and before that was variously Doctor or Baker St. But this suggests that maybe it was due to be called Chapel St at the Census in 1841, and before that was known by names other than "Doctor" or "Baker". | Source (S4)
|
| 849 | The enumerator has just put "Reeves" on the address form, but it is clearly Reeves House. | Source (S3034)
|
| 850 | The enumerator has written "Princess" rather than "Princes". However in the details of the census block he has written "Princes". The details of the roads make it clear that it should be "Princes" | Source (S3101)
|
