I found that James was buried at The City of London Cemetery, Little Ilford. They have the original register scans on line. Still looking for William's burial place though......

I should also add that Holborn Union Workhouse also used Brookwood Cemetery in Surrey. Deceased on line covers Brookwood but I am still not finding anything. I would be grateful for any other suggestions.

Looking for likely burial places please for both father and son, My Gt Grandfather & Gt Gt Grandfather.  I was expecting to find them at St Pancras or Islington Cemetery ( East Finchley) but no luck. I'm guessing that the parish would have to have buried them, so was there somewhere else that the very poor may have been buried that ended their days in the workhouse?

James Coopey born in 1858 St Pancras, he died 24 Dec 1902 at Holborn Workhouse. No more information on the death certificate  other than his wife was the informant and in attendance at the death. Her address was 1 Bishops Court, Clerkenwell. The couple had lived there on the 1881 & 1891 census. 1901 census not found. On 30th May 1901 he was discharged from Holborn, City Road Workhouse (St Luke´s Workhouse)

William Coopey born 1827, Trowbridge Wiltshire. He died 8 Jan 1874  The register on Ancestry says G I Rd, which I believe is Grays Inn Rd, which was part of the Holborn union. He had also lived in the Clerkenwell area.

Gloucestershire / Bristol Ship Owners
« on: Wednesday 12 August 15 17:30 BST (UK)  »
Could someone point me to where there may be records of Bristol Ship owners in the early 19th century please?

I'm researching Richard Ford born approx 1776 - died 1842 in Kew, Surrey

I'm aware of the book edited by Graham Farr on owners of Bristol ships over over 150 tons, 1800 - 1838 and he is not mentioned in that.

Other information is that his father is believed to be William.

London and Middlesex / Fellowship Porter....what is it?
« on: Tuesday 29 January 13 13:15 GMT (UK)  »
Can anyone tell me what a Fellowship Porter is please. Several children of Joseph Priestley Heaps were baptised at churches in/near Billingsgate. Was a Fellowship some sort of union as opposed to casual labour, would there be any records anywhere?

Many thanks

Surrey Lookup Requests / Re: Baptism= Alfred Ford

Thank you Valda and Rosie so much for all your help. Could I just ask what exactly a Law Genealogist is? I have looked on the net and it came up with a Genealogist that has a law degree! would he have specialised in tracing someons lineage for inheritance purposes maybe?

Surrey Lookup Requests / Re: Baptism= Alfred Ford
« on: Tuesday 01 January 13 20:25 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you Rosie. Where did the info come from that he was bankrupt please?

On the death cert of Alfred he is registered as Alfred Napier Ford. The Informant was his eldest son Francis (from his first marriage) I believe this name may go back a generation or so and is a middle name of Alfred. Francis records his name on the cert just as Ford.

Alfreds 2nd wife, Florence Selwyn (nee) Drew was living on own means in 1901 with a parlour maid, housemaid, Governess ( domestic) and cook + various family members and several visitors. In the 1911 census she was still living on private means but she was a visitor so I don't know how many servants she may of had. She died in 1928 and the index of wills/probate state her effects to be worth 4k +, so maybe she had money in her own right?

I could only find the baptism of 1 of their children, that was Ida Jessie in 1893. The name Napier-Ford seems to have become double barrelled then.

Many thanks for both replies. I had been aware of the family on Ancestry that you both speak of but without anything concrete I'm not sure. I had tracked the marriage of Frederick Augustus Ford in 1848 who was then an Architect and his father Richard, occupation Lawer as well as the 1844 marriage of Benjamine Alexander occ ( I could not make it out) father Richard described as Gent. Seems funny that all the other children had a second name except Alfred, maybe this is where the name Napier comes in but being older he could object to it being on the record.

Would someone that was a surgeon back then had to of gone to University? Would there be any records of Medical school where I'm assuming that his father would of paid for him to attend?
