England / Re: Help - Scenic/Theatre Artists in 1840's
« on: Monday 22 September 25 12:29 BST (UK)  »
Hi Nickeleye,

Thanks for replying, but this is not the same William Pitt, the WP, theatre artist is buried in Melbourne, at the St Kilda cemetery, along with his wife Jane and several other members of his family, he definitely is not the WP who was a jappanner who was married to Janette, although this family have certainly thrown lots of red herrings in the way during my searches.

He is well documented in several online directories in Australia https://daao.library.unsw.edu.au/bio/william-pitt-1/biography/#:~:text=William%20Pitt%20b.,1819&text=An%20experienced%20scene%2Dpainter%20from,him%20resign%20from%20his%20post.

Kind regards,
Jo  :)

There are Articles of Clerkship records stating that in 1794 John Heard of St George Msx was articled for five years to Daniel Sees of St Mary’s Whitechapel, Attorney of His Majesty’s Court of Kings Bench and Solicitor in the High Court of Chancery, when Daniel Sees died two years later in 1796 the article of clerkship was transferred to Edward Baddeley of Leman Street, Attorney of His Majesty’s Court of Kings Bench and Common Please and Solicitor in the High Court of Chancery.

London and Middlesex / Re: Who lived at 52 Earl Road Old Kent Road in 1905?
« on: Monday 05 June 23 22:08 BST (UK)  »
Thank you both, the Old Kent Road address was given as mother Mary’s residence and the Stephens Place address was for her occupation as a Hawker. Mary’s father was listed as a Hawker on her marriage certificate so I thought that might have helped but none of the names on the electoral roll ring a bell. When baby Mary was born her mother Mary was a wardrobe dealer, which I understand is selling second hand clothes, so along the same vein?

I just wish I knew where they all were in 1901  ???
