Staffordshire completed Look up Requests / Re: COMPLETED ... SALT family - Alton/Goldenhill/Church Lawton ... COMPLETED
« on: Friday 01 July 22 04:46 BST (UK)  »
Hello distant cousin BRINDLEY.
James BRINDLEY (snr) is my 6g grandfather and our common ancestral link.

My 2g maternal grandmother was Rosanna SALT.
Rosanna’s parents were Matthew SALT and his second wife Mary HANDLEY.
Matthew’s parents were Thomas SALT and Elizabeth BRINDLEY.
Elizabeth’s parents were Joseph BRINDLEY and his first wife Sarah BENNETT.
Joseph’s parents were James BRINDLEY (snr) and Susanna BRADBURY.

Back to Joseph.  His older brother was the JAMES BRINDLEY, canal engineer.  Joseph had a number of siblings including James, John, Esther, Henry, Ann, Mary and Elizabeth.

It has been a very long time (many years) since I was on this post. 
I am related to James Brindley, canal engineer, via another brother, Joseph.

Alfred had 5 surviving children that I know of.  Daughter Alice was born 1885 (ish), Ellen 1886, Alfred 1888,  Edgar 1889 and Maurice 1894, all in Islington.

Suffolk / Robinson Suffolk 1859 (and before)
« on: Monday 01 April 13 08:36 BST (UK)  »
Alfred Maurice ROBINSON was born in Boxford ( I think) about 1859.  He married Alice Margaret CORKER from Islington around 1884 and from then on they lived in Islington London where all their 5 children were born.
I am looking for information about Alfred and/or Alice and their ancestors whom I assume are from the Suffolk area about which I know very little.
[I do not live in the UK.]

Armed Forces / Re: Death between the Wars, Army spouse, Germany 1924

Hi Pepperonipie,

Rosina was a gorgeous young thing aged about 18 when she married Edgar T, who was about 35 and very handsome.  He had already experienced the WWI and was in UK for a short time between postings.  After they married, they went back to Germany where she died a couple of months later on 27 Nov 1924, official cause was cerebral hemorrhage.  She is buried in Cologne.  Edgar was devastated and ordered that anything and everything that could possibly remind him of her be destroyed.  Thank goodness a few people ignored him!  Several years later he remarried and started a new life.

Edgar Robinson was an officer in 1st Dragoon Guards stationed in Germany in 1924.  Edgar's young English bride Rosina (aged 19) died suddenly a few months into the marriage.  She is listed as having died in Cologne in 1924.  That's all I know. 
How do I find out about the cause of death?  I do not live in UK or Europe, so I cannot just "drop in" somewhere and look up some files.

I have managed to confirm the folowing regarding Matthew SALT of Alton.

Matthew SALT born 1788, baptised 22 June 1788, Alton, son of Thomas Salt and Elizabeth (nee Brindley). 
Thomas and Elizabeth had married on 21 July 1771.  Elizabeth’s father was Joseph Brindley, brother of canal engineer James Brindley.

Matthew SALT married (1) Sarah Robinson, aged about 18, on 02 Aug 1813, St.Peter’s Church, Stoke-on-Trent.  They had son John and possibly daughter.  Sarah SALT was buried aged 20, on 28th April 1815 at Stoke.  She had lived at Lane End in Longton.

Matthew SALT married (2) Mary Handley on 11 Sep 1817, Stone.  One of the witnesses was a Sampson Handley, possibly her brother, born 1790.  Mary was baptised in Milwich on 12 Nov 1792.  The parents of Sampson and Mary were John and Sarah Handley.   Matthew and Mary had at least 5 children, born in Staffs and Cheshire.

Matthew SALT married (3) Jane Ward (nee Hancock) 1844 – they both lived and died in Macclesfield.

So now my search starts afresh with delving into the Handley family.  Yippee!  :) :) ;D

Thanks, Claire
