Sarah,

Thank you for the photographs. It is always a pity to see such a structure demolished, but I hope that proper drawings and other records are being preserved. The Victorians invariably over-engineered such structures making allowance for inevitable wear and tear / deterioration. In the long term such an approach is the cheapest way of providing infrastructure but in the last sixty years or so such projects have always been skimmed and trimmed leading to further high expenditure a few decades down the line.

In 1822 what later came to be Deptford Congregational Church was still BUTT LANE Independent.

In abt 1827 Butt Lane was renamed High Street which is why the name of the Church then changed.

A lot of the Butt Lane records are on Familysearch, but I cannot see anything for Charles.

Sue,

Thank you, I am very grateful.

The churchyard at Fornham St Martin is well maintained, or was when Google Streetview + satellite last went over and I presume that Bury cemetery will have a grave index. I will probably come up and photograph the graves and the pubs in the near future. (both families ran various other pubs in and around Bury before finishing their daysat the Woolsack.

Best Regards

Bill Ellson

As stated in the subject line it is the burials that I am looking for.

On 13 July 1872 Rose Ellen TUBB was sentenced to 10 months hard labour for forgery at the Wiltshire Assizes sitting at New Sarum. I should be grateful for any further details of her offence.

There is no mention of the assizes in either The Times or the British Library's 19th century newspapers (which covers about 60 titles).

Rose was born in West Dean, Wilts 1845 the daughter of Charles Tubb and Thyrza Andrews who married in West Dean in 1833. On the 1871 census she is shown as a Barmaid at a hotel in Winchester Street, St Edmund, Wilts. She married Surrey and England professional cricketer Henry (Harry) Jupp in 1878 and died in 1884.
