This is a silver chalice with just the letters and date inscription of "V.A.S.I. 1895" engraved upon it. I am having a hard time trying to identify the origins and / or circumstances for the possession of a silver chalice. My Grandfather (d1954), a doctor, previously owned the item, and on his death it was passed on to his daughter, my Aunt. He was quite a successful athlete at around that time (1890s) and also very handy in shooting competitions. I must apologise for the somewhat inferior quality of the photos, and the fact that no hallmarks have been provided, and I suspect that a base of some sort is also missing. Grandfather attended Cantab for his MA and then continued with his Medical training at St Thomas's Hospital in London, where he qualified for his degree in general and surgery. I am at a complete loss in trying to identify this item.

A'hoy! A'hoy kala....

Hope this works for you.

I agree with Co. Derry, Tho. Carpenter, Calling=Carpenter, and wife's family name as Kidd.

Her first name maybe...Carol

Betty Greaves

Lived at Mount Pleasant, Magnum a widow aged 54 in 1881

Lived at Mount Pleasant, Magnum a widow aged 62 in 1891

From FreeBMD, the death of Betty Greaves is registered in the December quarter of 1906 aged 77.

I cannot seem to find her in the 1901 census; am I totally blind?

Thank you.

Hello mosher, this is my first post here on this interesting looking site, so here goes for you;

....."excepting two blocks of land with cottages erected thereon situate near"

....."of this my will and guardians of my several children during their respective minorities" - [until the children reach the age of 21 years].

....."and lastly revoking all former wills".

I hope this answers all.
