Thanks for your thoughts on this. Perhaps Pensioner is the answer.

The Common Room / P for pauper?
« on: Sunday 08 February 26 20:09 GMT (UK) »
I am looking at a burial register for 1791 and am finding entries marked with capital "P" and lower case "pauper". Do they mean something different?

Do you know who Effield married? I can't find a marriage for her, though I have found her birth and a couple of census records. Perhaps you could tell us if you know any more?

Ray - I think you may have solved this. I don't believe the Kentish Gazette is available for the 60s/70s and that is the most likely place for the cutting to have come from. Must bear that in mind in future!

Coming back to this, I still find this newspaper search very difficult to use. I have a cutting in my hand which must be from a local Kent paper, but undated. I have tried names, keywords, date range and any combination with absolutely no result. I know I am not too good at this, but should it be this hard?

I can get some of it to work, but not the side-by-side maps which is what I mainly use. Spinning circle there.

The Common Room / Re: Who was Thomas Lundy/Lundie (c.1877-1952)? And who was Juliette (c1896-1947)?

I did see that. It was the mention of him being a lone boy in the convent in Ramsgate that set me off!

I have to confess to being a bit lost with Thomas Lundy, but in case he is the father of John Ivor, I have done some research on him, (John) and it is not the happiest of stories.
