Hello

Thanks for that.  I will make a note of their deaths for future reference.

All the best

Not sure whether you are researching Albert Laker but he was the first husband of my gt gt grandmother, Sarah Bower and they married on 12 April 1864 in the Parish Church of St George Bloomsbury. Both their addresses are given as 10 Wilmot Street.  John Laker, Farmer is Albert's father and Robert Bower, Watchman is Sarah's father.  Witnesses were Henry Adams and Sophia Williams.  Not sure who these two are but they may be of interest to you at some point in your search.  Albert died young of "effusion of service on brain" when he was an omnibus conductor leaving Sarah a young widow with three children, one I traced later on living in Warwick married to a Frank Smith Nash, Asylum Attendant.  Sarah went on to have many children with Thomas Smith (marriage details never found) and died in Warwick Workhouse in 1909.  I have the Laker family in 1851 at 15 Honey Lodge, West Grinstead but by Felix Laker's name I have put 1871 Thakeham.  I wrote this a few years ago but suspect this is where he was although for some reason haven't put full details, probably knowing me because I had ran out of credits on the ancestry website and just had enough to see that he was in Thakeham.  Hope this helps.  If I find anything else about the 1861 in any of my files I will let you know.

Hello

Just discovered your message about my gt gt gt gt grandmother, Mary Collingridge, nee Satchell who hung herself in 1819.  I have had the death details for ages but was unaware of how she died and the other details - very sad to discover this.    I have been unable to get back any further on Mary Satchell.  You may already know this but Mary and William's son also called William married Sarah nee Ward in Wroxton on 22 September 1812.  They were removed from the Parish of Wroxton on 7 January 1815 along with their daughter, Mary, to nearby Wigginton.  I have a copy of the Removal Order.  William was born in Bloxham 1789 and died from a diseased liver in Wigginton on 11 December 1837.  His wife remarried a Samuel Cleaver on 20 March 1848 and died in Wigginton on 22 April 1869 of paralysis.  My direct line after this is John William Collingridge born 1829 Wigginton and his second wife, Eliza Bishop.  After this it is their son Walter born Warwick 1868 and died in Canada.  He married a Caroline Florence Smith in St Marys Warwick on 11 April 1898.  They had numerous children, one of whom was my grandmother, Christiana Lillian Collingridge.  I would be interested to know if you are descended from Walter and Caroline Smith's line in particular as I have discovered very recently some extremely interesting information on Caroline's grandfather, Robert Farmer Bower.
Regards, Helen
