Northumberland / Re: Cutter Family in Newcastle
« on: Friday 18 March 22 20:19 GMT (UK)  »
Hi - if you haven't already, you might want to look through wills and inventories registered in Durham  for Cutter family members. The North East inheritance database is searchable by name and abode - and all but the earliest documents are available online. http://familyrecords.dur.ac.uk/nei/data/simple.php

There are 15 Northumbrian Cutter probate records between 1597 and 1701.

All the best

Hi - this looks like it might be him - a recipient of the Imperial Service medal in 1957.

Hi - I'm sure someone here can help with this one and I hope of interest. Name and apparent service number in the story.

London and Middlesex / Re: Same family 1841 and 1851?

And how about that...

I've got a DNA connection that is consistent (and in line with shared matches) with someone apparently descended from another daughter of Henry Haslett and Sarah Bibbey/Bilbey of Odiham. Think that is a good line to pursue.

Thanks all!

Thanks very much all - that's given me something to work with and I'll get a birth certificate. I've a few DNA connections through Eliza junior and her husband, so I'll see if there's anything to help there too.

I wonder what happened to Ann Ashford though - what's her connection, where she came from and where she went...

All the best

London and Middlesex / Same family 1841 and 1851?
« on: Sunday 29 September 19 20:18 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
I am struggling to establish any further positive (or otherwise) evidence that the 1851 household including my gg-grandmother Eliza Hughes (b 1836) is the same as one in 1841. Are there any other potential leads I haven't considered?

1851
HO107/1490/21
34 William Street, Marylebone
Ann Morris, Head, widow, 70, housekeeper, b Middlesex, St Clements Strand
Thomas Morris, son, unmarried, 35 Master Butcher, b Middlesex St Giles
Eliza Hughes, head, widow, 35, laundress b Isle of Wight, Hampshire
Eliza Hughes, daughter, 15, house servant b Marylebone

In later censuses Eliza senior and Thomas Morris are living as man and wife but I can't find a marriage between them. Eliza senior later variouslly gives her birthplace as "Odiham, Hants" and "Hampshire".

1841
HO107/732/2/44
4 Osnaburg Row, St George Hanover Square
Eliza Hughes, 25, drop maker, not born Middlesex
Eliza Hughes, 5 b Middlesex
George Hughes, 3, b Middlesex
Ann Ashford, 60, Laundress, not born Middlesex

I have a probable birth for Eliza
St George Hanover Square
Eliza, of John and Eliza Hughes, Baptised July 31, born July 13, 1836 - father's profession, servant.

At her marriage to William Thomas Reynolds, Eliza junior gives her father as John Hughes, soldier

I feel I could make a breakthrough if I could find:
  • Any other references to Ann Ashford - birth, death census
  • Any other references to George Hughes, b circa 1838 - birth, death, census
  • Any birth for Eliza senior in Odiham or Isle of Wight
  • Any death for John Hughes, father, between 1836 and 1841

Any help gratefully received!
Rob

Thanks for everyone's help and expertise. It has led me to some French records that I believe might relate to the brother of the soldier in the pictures (his widow presumed to be in picture 2). A Valentin Joseph Hughes, native of Dahomey, who was killed in the Marne in September 1915. He was a corporal in the French 5th Colonial Infantry Regiment
