The Common Room / Re: Looking for details of a possible inquest in 1874
« on: Friday 28 June 24 23:59 BST (UK)  »
Oh my goodness that sounds dreadful. This poor woman had lost a 4 year old daughter in 1871, so life must have been tough.
Thank you so much for finding this information for me so quickly, it’s very much appreciated.

Yes he was living with his wife Emma on Hardres Street in Ramsgate (1871 census).
It sounds like she was pregnant when he died which is very sad.
She is documented as a lodging house keeper at a different house number on Hardres Street on the 1881 census.

Thank you Ashtone,
His name is John Cartwright Nash born around 1839 in Ramsgate Kent.
To be honest I have seen his death recorded on an Ancestry tree, as death in a railway line. I don’t have much more information really

The Common Room / Looking for details of a possible inquest in 1874

Good evening everyone,
Please can I ask where I could locate a possible inquest (if there would have been one) relating to a death on a railway line in Ramsgate Kent in 1874?
It may be that there is a newspaper report for the incident.
I’m not sure if it’s ok to post details of the gentleman’s name, or if that would not be acceptable.
Many thanks everyone

Kent / Re: Records for acts at the Pavilion Ramsgate Kent, 1900s

I wonder why my nana stated it was at “the Pav”? And for one week?
Perhaps she had wished it was!

That’s lovely, thank you.
My nana had written on the back of the photo “ performed for 1 week at the Pav, age 14yrs”
It is nice to see what the occasion was.

Thank you for the replies. I think she sang. I have been shown part of a newspaper article (Thanet Advertiser) March 1923, where she appears to have won 5th prize. Her name was Dorothy Nancy May Sherred. My original post stated her surname as Stephens.

Hello everyone, I’m back looking at family stuff again after a long break.
My grandmother Dorothy Nancy Stephens performed at the Pavilion theatre in Ramsgate in the 1920s & I was wondering if there would be any records available to view?
Many thanks

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Vehicle registration plate
« on: Friday 09 June 23 20:55 BST (UK)  »
Hi everyone, I have discovered a vehicle registration plate buried in my garden & I am intrigued as to its history. I know the number has been assigned more recently to a car, but wonder about the origins of it? Tried Mr Google & still unsure. It is a square metal plate GCC 123
Any experts in the motoring field that could help please?
Thanks, lancslassie
