Title: Edward Paxton Rathbone
Post by: florencejane on Saturday 07 August 10 16:05 BST (UK)

I am trying to find a connection between Edward Paxton Rathbone born 1868 in London and any Rathbone of Stretton on Dunsmore, Warwickshire.

Edward's parents were born in the London area, however Edward is buried in Stretton on Dunsmore Churchyard. He died 31st October 1897 at Stretton on Dunsmore.

Hi
This wont have an easy answer, it will be a case of researching him as much as possible until a link is found or not.

Have you found him in all the censuses to see if/when he moved to Stretton?
Have you found his parents in all the censuses?

Have you found their marriage (if not let us have the names, and mums maiden name from edwrd's birth cert)

And then them back in the censuses to see where their parents came from etc

Hi

St Mary Magdalene, Peckham 25th October 1868  born 31st July
Edward Paxton Rathbone parents Harry and Charlotte Ann, George Villa Rye Hill, father's occupation Corn merchant


1871 census RG10 686 folio 52
Paxton Villa 20 Dulwich Road Lambeth London
Harry Rathbone 32 Head Married Corn Merchant Lambeth Surrey
Charlotte A Rathbone 24 Wife Married Bicester Oxon
Edward H Baxton 16 Visitor Auctioneer Bicester Oxon
Thomas Coleman 19 Visitor Banker's son Bicester Oxon
Kate Rathbone 3 Daughter Peckham Rye Surrey
Edward P Rathbone 2 Son Peckham Rye Surrey
Mary B Rathbone 1 Daughter Dulwich Road Surrey
Harry Rathbone 8 months Son Dulwich Road Surrey
4 servants

Marriages Dec 1866  
PAXTON  Charlotte A     Bicester  3a 1083    
RATHBONE  Harry     Bicester  3a 1083


On the 1891 census the Rathbones, including Edward who was a corn merchant were in Streatham London. Harry had remarried. His second wife was Clara aged 48 born Tunbridge Wells Kent.
Any connection to Warwickshire, if there is one, would seem more likely through the maternal line, not the Rathbone paternal line.
