| 801 | 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)
|
| 802 | 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)
|
| 803 | 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)
|
| 804 | 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)
|
| 805 | 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)
|
| 806 | 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)
|
| 807 | 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)
|
| 808 | 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)
|
| 809 | 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)
|
| 810 | 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)
|
| 811 | 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)
|
| 812 | 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)
|
| 813 | 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)
|
| 814 | 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)
|
| 815 | 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)
|
| 816 | 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)
|
| 817 | 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)
|
| 818 | 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)
|
| 819 | 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)
|
| 820 | The enumerator has just put "Reeves" on the address form, but it is clearly Reeves House. | Source (S3034)
|
| 821 | The enumerator's writing is unclear... and there is no obvious building with this sort of name on the maps | Source (S2892)
|
| 822 | The enumerators writing is unclear, but this name appears in Charles Booths survey of London 1899. | Source (S993)
|
| 823 | The exact address is not clear, it might be something like "Harvys" | Source (S1196)
|
| 824 | The family story, as related by more than 1 of his grandchildren is that he went into partnership with 4 others to make DEANS tape measures (DEANS is the acronym of the 5 partners). However the story, whilst having the support of a photo, is at variance to info on the web, and so it is probably a story told to sound good to the children, but actually is completely untrue, and it is more likely perhaps that EJVD worked for DEAN tape measures. Note that in 1921 he is a leather worker employed by Howard Wall and Co. One of his grandchildren remembers him asking that they get a copy of the "News of the World" on Sundays as he said he was descended from Lord Desborough "of Ireland", and wanted to see if he had been left any money. Since there is no evidence for anything like this, I wonder if he was a joker, and perhaps a great story teller. Possible death Oct qtr 1946 aged 82, Lambeth. This is for Edward JV - which seems quite likely. Matches a family story that he was knocked down by a bus and later died of a heart attack in King Coll Hosp. MyHeritage website has a burial 18 Nov 1946 in Streatham, which matches where Mabel and her family were living in 1946. Marriage with Mabel Chapman Oct qtr 1934, Southwark. Mabel died Jan qtr 1946, buried 22/2/1946 at Camberwell New Cemetery and Crematorium. At the 1939 Register, Mabel is there (but she given as single, him as a widower). So the 1939 Register is out of date. The banns were last read on 30th Sept 1934, so presumably they were married the following Saturday, ie 6th Oct. The register says she was born 2/7/1884. Marriage with Rosetta Jane JOHNSON (nee YOUNG) Oct qtr 1916, Southwark. Rosetta died Jul qtr 1934, Camberwell, and is buried in the plot next to Mabel (nee CHAPMAN) 3/8/1934. At the 1921 Census, Rosetta is 55y 6m, and noted as born in Croydon. | DESBOROUGH, Edward John Valentine (I269)
|
| 825 | the find-a-grave website says the following:- George and Elizabeth were a victim of the Princess Alice disaster. She was traveling on board with her husband and baby daughter when their ship was struck by the Bywell Castle and torn in two. The entire family died. (https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/144490111/elizabeth-hollingsworth) Child was Maud Emily who was born and bapt 26/4/1878 and 11/8/1878 at St John's Brixton. Ship disaster was 3/9/1878 - see for instance https://londonhistorians.wordpress.com/2010/09/03/over-600-perish-in-woolwich-pleasure-boat-disaster/ | Family: George James Arthur HOLLINGSWORTH / Elizabeth WILLIAMS (F214)
|
| 826 | The following information seems feasible, but it is not certain baptism 1/12/1801, son of Thomas and Sarah, Fetter Lane marriage to Sarah BROWN 7/10/1821 Holborn 1841 Census aged "37" 1851 Census aged 50, occ bricklayers labourer 1861 Census aged 60, a widower, occ labourer 1871 Census aged 70, occ labourer Maybe more likely is an appearance in the 1841 Census - the best with a Sarah of similar age (ie assuming his wife were still alive and present at the same address) at Globe Road, Bethnal Green. This makes him "50" at 1841 Census - which is more sensible for a daughter born 1817, again assumign this is correct. Then possible marriages from IGI, assuming that marriage is at the same church as daughter Sarah was born, are Sarah ARNOLD June 1808 Sarah SIMPSON Nov 1813 - which is more likely.... | CLARK, Thomas (I21)
|
| 827 | The given marriage details are almost certainly right, given the later census information, but he obviously upgraded his father's profession, presumably to match his wife's father.... | BENNETT, Richard (I870)
|
| 828 | The Hampshire Post and Chronicle of 21 Aug 1891 says that he died on the 15th "inst" at Gower St, aged 4 years and 7 months | JUNIPER, Herbert Edward (I1105)
|
| 829 | The Hendon and Finchley Times of 3/11/1922 notes that she won a certificate at the Golders Green Centre of Trinity School of Music Various items in the directories lists etc. The phone book for 1984 refers to somebody at a Studio in London NW3 but probably not as she would be 76 at that stage.... | JUNIPER, Muriel Evelyn (I1097)
|
| 830 | The info for the 1939 register is not conclusive - but it does match birth date. This aligns with the most likely marriage record.... So on this basis he marries Mabel Elizabeth LEACH, which means marriage is 15/6/1922 at St Marks, Camberwell. He gives his occupation as a "Tram Conductor" | SMITH, William Henry (I244)
|
| 831 | The information about James and his family is somewhat speculative but consistent within itself and therefore considered worth including. At the 1841 census is also Ann aged 15 and James aged 4, these do not appear in the IGI records for Nymet Tracey but James may have moved around a little, and there is a chance that these are cousins from Morchard Blanchford | DELL, James (I831)
|
| 832 | The information here should be looked at alongside that of his wife's daughter Ann (b1853) Family trees on the internet suggest that he died in Tasmainia in 1842. There appears to be no evidence to support these There are court records of larceny punished by 3 months at the Lent 1831 Assizes in Bucks and then sentenced to life (transportation ?) at Aylesbury 3 Mar 1834 for Burglary (one internet source has house burglary). He was aged 21 when he arrived on the ship Justitia at Woolwich on 22 Apr 1834. When his children were baptised in 1842, he was noted as "transported for life" He was also in the Bucks Assizes in Lent 1832 for Larceny, but it is recorded as "No Bill", which I think means there was not sufficient evidence to proceed The Australian Convict Records site (https://convictrecords.com.au/convicts/merridon/william/12812), with transcripts from both UK and Australian government records adds to the story by saying this Left: 12th Dec, 1834 Travelled on: George the Third George III, was wrecked on reefs at the south-eastern entrance to the D'Entrecasteaux Channel, Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania) on 12 March 1835 near the end of a voyage from Woolwich to Hobart Town. 133 of 220 male convicts on board lost their lives, 81 survived, one being a 10yr old boy. Only five of the 88 crew, guards and their families were drowned. Firearms had been discharged to keep the convicts below decks while the latter were being evacuated. Arrived on: 12th Mar, 1835 Assuming that the birth details here are correct (and there is no other obvious birth details on any internet site), then his parents were John and Sarah and there are a number of siblings. Note that Latimer is about 4 miles on foot to Bovingdon, so it is reasonable to assume that this person could be the same William we see marrying Fanny in 1831. | MEREDEN, William (I42)
|
| 833 | The information here should be read alongside that of her mother's husband (William Mereden). For simplicity William is given as Ann's father, though it seems unlikely that he is, having almost certainly died in Tasmania. It is probably also worth noting that Latimer is about 4 miles walking from Bovingdon, so it is entirely reasonable that both places appear in this family. The life details for Ann MERRINGTON deduced from the fact of her name for the 2 children and no record of any marriage since then, the fact that the only relevant Ann MERRINGTON in 1881 is the strawplaiter given. My view is that she never married and Fanny, Emma and Kate's g'mother looked after the children. For her marriage in 1878, she gives her father as John. Given that at her baptism, only Fanny is mentioned - as a "single woman", and William Meriden had died, "John" is likely to be speculative.... For the 1861 Census, Ann and Fanny are living with Martha MONGER, aged 17 at the time. She was originally written in as "dau", crossed out to "head", as befits a new entry/address. The 1851 Census identifies Martha's parents as David and Jane MONGER - David Monger who Fanny later marries. I note that there is an Ann MERIDEN who is baptised in Latimer on 29/5/1853 to Joseph and Ann. I don't believe this is the same person, but it is interesting to note that Latimer is where Fanny's father William was born. The more likely scenario is probably that this person married George BRYANT(?) in 1873, and that her parents were Joseph and Ann (PLISTED) who were married in 1845. However there is the question of Ann's father. | MERRIDON, Ann (I19)
|
| 834 | The internet is popular with a baptism on 17/4/1784. However this is not appropriate as the child then died. In addition to the chosen data, possible options are Isle of Wight in 1785, and Mary Barnes Gregory in Meonstoke (15 miles away) in 1780. The chosen solution is not perfect either. Principally, the baptism is for Mary Gregory (no middle name Ann). I am assuming this is the same person and at some stage she, or her parents, added in the name. Note also that very few of the baptisms at the church around that time are for children with a middle name. I have found a Mary Gregory marrying in Portsea 27/12/1817, but she is described as a widow, so this is not a problem. Pending further checks, no further data will be entered, but it is worth recording that the parents of the Mary assumed here are William and Jane. No record of death or burial, or remarriage. | GREGORY, Mary Ann (I1156)
|
| 835 | The lack of occupation in the Censuses and the relatively early death, makes me wonder if she was ill for much of her life | BEECH, Caroline Jane (I1137)
|
| 836 | The Lambeth schools admission data has his year of birth as 1890. However this is not consistent with the baptism, nor with the GRO which has it (correctly) Q3 1891and so appears to be an error (see also his sister Annie Florence Day) Marries Harriet Maud HOLLEY 23/2/1913 St Marks, Mitcham, and had 2 children (one born 8/3/13) according to his War service records. | DAY, Herbert Henry (I454)
|
| 837 | The late baptism, given with the comment about John coming to church a few days earlier suggests that perhaps the family were away from church for several years... | HEARD, Henry (I1252)
|
| 838 | The life details are not very certain, but it does appear that she marries John PRATT, Hemel Hempstead Oct qtr 1842. At the 1851 Census, the whole family is labelled Blind or Deaf-and-Dumb, but since this applies to many other people on this Census, I think it is a mistake unless there is something about Studham Common (which I have not yet found). She does not feature after this, and internet sites have her in the USA as a member of the Mormon church. The burial transcript has her parents on it, so it is considered accurate. I have found John and Esther in the 1860, 1870 and 1880 US Censuses, both saying they came from England. I have not found any record of their travel. This data is supported by a DNA matching tree (https://www.myheritage.com/pedigree-tree-445405611-1500001/odell?familyTreeID=1&kitId=B53ED9A7-18D0-4B64-8A75-3F7D70B3D136) | PIKE, Esther (I1213)
|
| 839 | The life of Thomas (and thus his wife) is based on the most likely marriage details. There are a number of people called Thomas Coombe and so there are a number of marriages etc. I have chosen this one simply because the life is closer to Sampford Courtenay, and in addition, one of the witnesses to the marriage is John COOMBE, and Thomas does have a brother by that name. Agnes was the daughter of John and Ann | RUBY, Agnes (I1303)
|
| 840 | The lifetime information about George is not definite, and in particular is based on the assumptions that he moved south to work, or maybe to get away from his family, and his accent meant that DELL or possibly DELVE, came up as first of all DEAL (for his marriage to Jemima), and then DELF for the 1841-1861 Censuses, and burial. His mistakes on his age are probably less surprising. | DELL, George (I836)
|
| 841 | The marr cert has a lack of age and also says James Desborough was a provisions salesman which suggests that this may not be correct marriage | Family: Alfred North SHUTER / Louisa DESBOROUGH (F198)
|
| 842 | The marriage records actually say 1764, but they are written in the book during 1765 marriages so this is assumed to correct and the curate just made a mistake. It does mean though that Ann was pregnant with John when she married. | Family: John GHOST / Ann PAYNE (F150)
|
| 843 | The Marriage register says that Samuel was from All Saints, Hertford. For the signatures, the name Susan Holt (not Furr) has been written, but this is assumed to be a mistake. One of the witnesses is Sarah Furr; perhaps her mother? | Family: Samuel HOLT / Susanna FURR (F252)
|
| 844 | The MI is considered definite, as it refers to her being the husband of Peter. General searches in the BMD index shows that this is the only sensible one, given that Peter is a widower at the 1851 Census. But it does raise the question of why she was in Steyning, 6 miles away when she died. It does look as if the river Adur might be navigable, so Peter might have had a boat and taken her there.... but then what? An accident? Or maybe the ease of getting there by boat meant they had friends there. The graveyard also has a MI to Anna Maria Gaze JUNIPER. This is almost certainly the wife of her brother in law, Skyles. Though it is unclear why she is married here, rather than in Norfolk...... | WOOLMER, Elizabeth (I1163)
|
| 845 | The most likely appearance in 1841 Census is with John and Sophia Cocksedge. Same village etc, possibly a relative, but nothing to prove it...Note that there is an Emily bapt 9/3/1828 to James and Susan in Hessett Marriage to John COBBOLD is most obvious but again not certain. | COCKSEDGE, Emily (I238)
|
| 846 | The most likely baptism records from current Devon data is used as it matches most closely the census returns and the marriage cert. James's parents are James (a farmer) and Elizabeth. North Wick should be North Wyke was a large manor with sizeable land. Presumably James, the father was a tenant farmer or worked for the manor. James marries again between 1861 and 1871. This wife, based on 1871 Census, is Elizabeth S. Possible matches are Tavistock Jan 1864 and Exeter Oct 1865 | POTTER, James (I644)
|
| 847 | The most likely data from IGI indicates Mary Parish was chr at Holsworthy, which is 25miles from Bow, where she married, so this is some distance. If this is the same person though, then she was chr Nov 1753, daughter of John and Elizabeth - probable marr 18/5/1747 in Holsworthy (Elizabeth HEADON). This does not match her quoted age at burial, which almost certainly is the right person. So overall, this seems the wrong person. The key difficulty with the chosen option is that John PARISH would appear to have married Mary, and then on 8/6/1779 married Joan DAVY (possibly bapt 1734), and then on 30/5/1784 married Elizabeth FODEN (possibly bapt 1761). I can find on other John Parish in the area of the right age, so they presumably divorced, and indeed John divorced again, though I cannot find a suitable death for Joan Parish. In addition, Mary would be 13 at the time of her marriage, unless she was born a few years before her baptism (and her age at death is also wrong). If she was born in 1757, she would be 47 when Henry Dell was born. Just to complicate things, there are several Mary Heards, and indeed there are marriages involving a Mary Heard in Bow in 1772 and 1773. Death data is based on a transcript of the burial of Mary DELL (or DELVE) buried Bow 8/1/1837 aged 79, which is consistent with the other reliable data, but cannot be confirmed as definitely this Mary. However, this has also been used to determine which of the possible Mary Heard's is our one. | HEARD, Mary (I642)
|
| 848 | The most likely scenario is that she was baptised Martha Lucy, but she later calls herself Lucy Jane. She has a twin, Elizabeth. Note both Lucy and Elizabeth are in 1861 Census together. She was living at 42, Broad St when she married | GANNAWAY, Lucy Jane (I1012)
|
| 849 | The most probable IGI (or any other internet) baptism record is as follows (for Henry William) baptism/christening date: 18 Apr 1819 baptism/christening place: St. George the Martyr, Southwark birth date: 20 Mar 1819 father's name: Henry Webb mother's name: Sarah indexing project (batch) number: C02244-2 But.... this would be south of the River Thames and so it is perhaps unlikely. Other possible siblings are Lydia Fisher (b 24/7/1816), bapt as above Amelia Elizabeth (b1821, bapt 1822 at St. Matthew, Bethnal Green), and Susannah, also bapt at St Matthew (b 1824, bapt 1824). However there is no obvious later record for these that would tie them to Henry and hopefully our Henry. Alternatively, and popularly on Ancestry, is a baptism 7 Feb1819 at St Mary the Virgin, Harefield. However this is even further away from Bethnal Green. Mother is Sarah. This is the only matching record on Ancestry, albeit that there are probably fewer than 50% of the records indexed. If Henry and Sarah are the parents, the only sensible record I can find is Henry WEBB/Sarah SCOTT at St Annes, Soho 14/8/1815. (There are marriages in 1804 in Bloomsbury and 1800 in Eastcheap. Eastcheap is in a good location, but I cannot find any other children) Also details on ancestry tree at http://trees.ancestry.co.uk/tree/10146355/family?cfpid=-689433788 | WEBB, William (I14)
|
| 850 | The only Gloucester St. near Lambeth appears to be in Pimlico to the North of the River Thames. This is some way from the church where he was baptised and in particular there would have been closer churches. The Vicar just wrote "Gloucester St" so it would be expected to have been close by, but perhaps he just wrote down Gloucester St without further discussion. He does appear in the 1851 Census with his parents, but with an age of 6, and as a scholar. If the enumerator heard the age wrong, he would surely not have got the occupation wrong. Does this mean that there was another William born (when our William was 13?) Or was there a family bust up? | FRASER, William Henry (I799)
|
