Title: ?MI? ISAAC WARREN bur at Camberwell 1771
Post by: Adamb on Friday 02 June 17 11:52 BST (UK)
I would be very grateful if any kind person could find out whether there is an MI for Isaac WARREN, Chief Accountant for the East India Company who was buried at St Giles Camberwell in 1771.  I live abroad and am unable to travel at present.  With grateful thanks in advance - Adam Bunting.

There’s a typescript transcription of the Camberwell MIs at the SoG Library (SR/M 4, indexed in SR/M 39).

They offer a search-and-copy service for indexed material ...

Not what you are looking for, however you can follow his career 1760-1770 on London Lives 1690-1810 website.
His employee number was 1329 and was appointed in 1733. His employment salary is listed from 1760-1770
In 1760 he made 190 pounds per year.
1762 it was 300 pounds and by 1767 he made 350 plus a bonus of 200.
The last entry 1770 he made 500 pounds plus another 500.
For the 1700's he did very well.
He wrote a will 16 January 1771 proved 22 January 1771 (PCC wills) on ancestry he left everything to his wife Ann.
A Susanna Whitehead and Richard Roberts testified to his handwriting.
My assumption Susanna is related to his wife Ann Whitehead whom he married by license 21 September 1756 at St Pancras

Bad news for anyone hoping to find a grave: the churchyard at St Giles has been cleared of virtually all headstones and laid out to grass as a public park. A very few headstones have been placed around the walls but most are unreadable. Sorry.

Thank you very much indeed to everyone.  I have loads of facts about Warren but am curious to find whether there is / was an inscription as his age and d.o.b. are unknown.  I shall contact the SoG but will keep this open a little longer in case anyone has a personal copy - I believe the Surrey FHS has a copy but am not a member as I have no Surey roots.

Thanks again!
