| 851 | The enumerator has written "St" but on the following page has "Rd". There is no obvious Kingsland St., and so it is assumed to be "Rd" | Source (S2882)

| 852 | The enumerator's writing is unclear... and there is no obvious building with this sort of name on the maps | Source (S2892)

|
| 855 | 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 So the 1939 Register is out of date.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)
|
| 856 | 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)
|
| 857 | 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)
|
| 858 | 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)
|
| 859 | 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)
|
| 860 | 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)
|
| 861 | 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)
|
| 862 | 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)
|
| 863 | 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)
|
| 864 | 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)
|
| 865 | 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)
|
| 866 | 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)
|
| 867 | 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)
|
| 868 | 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)
|
| 869 | 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)
|
| 870 | 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)
|
| 871 | 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)
|
| 872 | 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)
|
| 873 | 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)
|
| 874 | 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)
|
| 875 | 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)
|
| 876 | 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)
|
| 877 | 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)
|
| 878 | 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)
|
| 879 | 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)
|
| 880 | 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)
|
| 881 | 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)
|
| 882 | The only obvious BMD entry is for Mabel Hilda, but with no mother maiden name. The birth was Q1 1883, so a little adrift of the 1891 Census (but note the 2 year discrepancy for Bertie Horace). There is another Littlemore family at this time, so Mabel Hilda might be a different family. There is a Mabel Hilda LITTLEMORE marrying Edward Yorke MITCHINSON 3/8/1913 in Richmond, naming James William Littlemore, Thames Pilot as her father. This is quite close to the Waterman occupation from his census records. Of significance is one of the witnesses is Herbert TOMS. Her age is given as 26, ie DOB about 1887. Edward appears in military records with a marriage that looks like 1906, but the other details match. He is discharged with heart difficulties, and his suicide or accidental death in1933 mentions heart problems. Mabel dies in 1935, and mentions another TOMS (not one I recognise) in her probate. So this is likely to be a valid story. There are problems, though. I cannot find any baptism for her, nor anything in the 1921 or 1911 Censuses. The story needs more investigation to be more certain | LITTLEMORE, Mabel (I1092)
|
| 883 | The only other reference to a Robert Jackman online is a marriage to Ann JONES in 1791 at S Tawton. The witnesses are unfamiliar names but if it is this Robert, he would be 61, and is living outside the parish, so it would not be surprising. | JACKMAN, Robert (I718)
|
| 884 | The only sensible possible hits for John Ghost online are a baptism on 16 Oct 1728 at Wigginton, Hertfordshire to John and Elizabeth and a burial 9 Feb 1782 at Tring. However there is no other evidence for this being the right person. | GHOST, John (I189)
|
| 885 | The person to whom he leaves his estate, Temperence DIXON, is living next door at 1901 Census | SHUTER, Alfred North (I329)
|
| 886 | The Portsmouth Evening News of 30 Mar 1907 also reported that he (the Superintent of the Wesley Church Sunday School) with Ralph Hull (the Gn Sec) left their roles here to sail to Canada on 29th Mar. They were recipients of "tangible expressions of esteem" for their work with the Sunday School. He served in the Royal Navy from 10/4/1917 to 1/2/18, when he transferred to the RAF. His occupation is given as Carpenter, he is 5' 9", with brown hair, blue eyes and medium complexion. | JUNIPER, Charles Woolner (I1106)
|
| 887 | The Portsmouth Times and Naval Gazette 28 November 1863 records the birth, but says that this was at Lucknow St. Note that the family are in Lucknow St at both the 1861 and 1871 Censuses. See separate notes about the food wholesaling partnership up to 1918. According to John Jackman (b1926), he travelled to Russia, France and Belgium for poultry In the probate details, it says the will was resealed in Vancouver (Canada) 1/12/1949. I have a family note that says Ralph and Frederick travelled across Canada (not obvious when), but decided that "it was not a suitable place for their wives" | HULL, Frederick William (I914)
|
| 888 | The quality of the records, and in particular the numbers of VEY/VYE mean that some of the family details cannot be definite, but Henry's details are consistent within themselves and so are offered here. | VEY, Henry (I1060)
|
| 889 | The reason why she was buried in Hackney is not clear, but given the address on the burial record, this is clearly the right person. Age at death given as 14months | DESBOROUGH, Matilda Emma (I529)
|
| 890 | The register is not clear on the day - it is clearly April 1789. I think it says "Twentieth", but it might be a later day. The last day for the banns was 19th April. | Family: Joseph GUY / Ann HALE (F360)
|
| 891 | The registers are very disorganised and in no way chronological, so 1752 (ie the Julian year 1751) seems most likely, but it could be +/- 5 years from this. In addition, Em is clearly the son, and so is perhaps "Emmanuel", which is consistent with being born around Christmas. However there is no other record that I can find, but I presume he died young. | JUNIPER, Em (I969)
|
| 892 | The relevant page of the Census has incorrectly been called Buttesfield St., as is evident on the following pages of the Census. | Source (S383)
|
| 893 | The road is not completely clear, but this is believed to be correct. | Source (S2260)
|
| 894 | The road name is not clear, and looks like "Beaupy", but there appears to be no such road in 1891, and in the index it is clear that there is something before the "y" | Source (S715)
|
| 895 | The School admission data on Reginald says he started school 4/2/07 and left 9/1/12 with the comment "Father dead - Mother removed to London" At the time of the 1921 Census, he is working in the pub run by Percy Bird and Annie (nee Webb). So there is not a very straight forward connection, but it suggests that through his mother, a connection to the family was maintained. At the 1939 Register there is also a Mary Maud PETRE (originally Reginald J ALLEN), married, dob 12/8/08, but can find no record of a marriage between her and Reginald | ALLEN, Reginald John (I40)
|
| 896 | The School Board admissions identify her as living at 24 Flint St on 20/10/1899 and 43,Manston(?) Rd on 6/1/1902 Possible death Jan qtr 1983 Canterbury. In any event she was alive when her husband died in 1958. The death index for this says she was born 23/3/1892, ie 4 years adrift, though it is interesting to see this is the same DOB originally put in the 1939 Register, before it was altered In 1934 she was living at 98a, London Road, Mitcham (with Philip) Philip appears in the 1936 London telephone directory at 327 Martin Way. But cannot find him in the London directory in 1943. Cannot find them in Canterbury directories in 1958/9 | WEBB, Annie Grace (I2)
|
| 897 | The school records have her starting 1/2/1906, when she was living at 12, Pullar Road, and leaving 20/9/11 when she "left district". Some other children left to other towns, eg Maidstone, so this might be leaving the country... She might have married Gem RANDALL Q2 1945 in Hemel Hempstead, though there are various other possibilities. She seems to have signed the marriage register for Emma Rose Webb (in 1928). Also suggests that the Merrington sisters kept in touch? I can find no obvious record of death after 1939 as ALLEN or RANDALL, though again there are many possibilities. | ALLEN, Edith May (I39)
|
| 898 | The South of England Advertiser of (Thurs) 10 Jan 1924, says she married Frank Milner BLACK (the "Mayor's son) the previous Saturday (ie 5/1/1924). The relevant GRO ref is Jan qtr 1924, Brighton, vol 2b, p411. There are a number of newspaper reports that make it clear that Kathleen was a very accomplished singer. The DOB is based on the day and month given in the 1939 Register, but the year identified by the BMD index, and the Censusses. It is unclear why her husband lied about the year, it seems too far out to be a mistake..... | VEY, Kathleen (I1056)
|
| 899 | The spelling is unclear as is the road location. It is possibly Edmund Rd. | Source (S10)
|
| 900 | The surname is very difficult to read in the Banns notice and the marriage register. It could be HUPSEY, for instance. HUSSEY is picked because the "mark of" name seems to be this, and the penmanship seems quite scatty for the minister concerned, and it is on balance the most likely.... Searching for Sarah HUSSEY and similar names comes up with only 1 recorded baptism that is not too far from Affpuddle and about the right date, assuming that the 1841 Census is roughly correct. This is for Sarah born to Gideon and Sarah and baptised on 17 May 1781 in West Knighton. There is no obvious census entry for 1851, so it is likely that she had died by then. There is a burial of a Sarah Guy at Kimmeridge, which is possible, on 8 Feb 1859, aged 84 (ie DOB in 1775), which is possible, but it is probably not her. | HUSSEY, Sarah (I1002)
