hi tony

i have recently made contact with kevin as i am photographing all 19 graves of JTM's grandchildren (one is my grandmother mary maude burrows nee mortimer).  however i havent asked him much detail and he is 87 so im hoping you can help. 

yes the 1841 issue is the sticking point.  he was convicted for fraud (obtaining 3 sovereigns by false pretences) at central criminal courts 17/9/1838 aged 14, making him born 1824 or 1825.  he was from lewisham at that time (tho apparently also of lambeth).  he was an errand boy and trained as a tailor in parkhurst (at hulk euryalus prior to parkhurst). said (on his marriage certificate) his father was also jtm and was a lawyer, but told his apprenticeship employer his name was john.

the pallot marriage indexhas 14 marriages for james mortimer (father) between 1790 and 1834.

its the parentage im trying to pursue.

roots chat doesnt want you to give your email.

hi tony

i understand you are familiar with the parkhurst lads on the simon taylor

my ancestor was james mortimer.  we have found his old bailey trial and many other records (his marriage certificate lists his father as james thomas mortimer, lawyer) but we are unable to determine his parentage.

would you have any idea how to go further?

thanks

jennie
