Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Ollis Winecott
« on: Friday 08 February 13 17:46 GMT (UK)  »
I have double checked what I have found so far & can find no mention of a Robert Reeve (as in marrying a member of the family) I'm inclined to agree with you Mike that he must have been a family friend. Im still looking for Thomas & Charlotte on the 1841 & 1851 Census's. Proving very elusive .....

Carol.... Thanks for the link to FindMyPast. Thomas WAS a bricklayer. He remarried in 1840 to a Charlotte (Cooper). They were living at 4 Angel Court, St Mary Le Strand @ the time of their marriage. A daughter, Catherine, dies in Feb 1840 (one month after Alice). The informant is Thomas Winnacott, Father, a bricklayer, living @ 5 Browns Building, Strand.  I cannot find Thomas on the 1841 OR 1851 census. (I did find a Charlotte Winnacott living this time with a JAMES, a bricklayer... again I suppose it could be a transcription error?)  I think Thomas died in 1862 in Chelsea. It appears he was a  Chelsea Pensioner & was in the Royal Chelsea Hospital in 1861 census. It says he is married but again I cannot find Charlotte in 1861. I have sent for his death cert although I'm not really very sure how much info it will give me but I'm hoping the name John is maybe on there. Yes Alice is Thomas & Alices daughter. I have found 8 children so far. Alice married Richard Meyrick in 1843.I believe John Winnacott may have been another son but can find no birth or baptism for him. Most of the other siblings were christened in St Katherine Coleman.

Hi Carol. "My" Alices husband was called Thomas so unfortunately that doesn't tie up BUT she is the right age, right name (within reason) & a burial in St Clement Danes totally adds up as some of her children were buried there & the family seem to have quite a connection with that area. I'm would be very interested to know where you found the details of her burial on 29th Jan 1839??

Thanks

Hi Ambly.

Thank you for your reply. I have not come across a Robt Kerr or Robt Kew in my research but will keep it in mind. I'm not a 100% sure if I even have the right death. My 3 x grandmother was called Alice Winnacott & she died sometime between 1832 & 1840. As you can see the death cert is in the name of Ollis Winecott. I was hoping the informant may have been a relative just to confirm it is "my" Alice. Thanks for your links re "decline". I had not heard of this before ...

Hi can anyone help me decipher a couple of things on the attached death cert. The first is the "cause of death". I think it says "Decline" ???? If it does say that why would that be? Also the name of the informant. I cannot make either words out......  ?? in attendance, 43 Vere Street, Lincolns Inn Fields.

Many thanks

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Probate x 2?
« on: Monday 14 January 13 15:42 GMT (UK)  »
Hi. Ralph Goodyear was married to my 2nd Cousin Lilian.

Ralph dies in 1941 & probate is granted as follows -

 Ralph Goodyear of 161 Westwood Lane, Welling, Kent died 13 May 1941 @ 11 Chandos Street, Sheffield. Administration Llandudno - 12 July 1943. Lilian Goodyear - widow effects £582

BUT there is also another granting of probate some 9 years later???

Ralph Goodyear of 161 Westwood Lane, Welling, Kent died 13 May 1941 @ 11 Chandos Street, Sheffield. Administration London - 14 August 1954. Albert Edward Clark, lorry driver. Effects £1000. Former Grant P.R. 12 July 1943

I have no idea who Albert Edward Clark is. Lilian may have remarried a Mr Clark but that shouldn't effect the original probate should it??

Does anyone know why there would be two lots of probate?

Thanks

London and Middlesex / Ancestry electoral register for London
« on: Thursday 03 January 13 17:14 GMT (UK)  »
I have found a family I am interested in living in Fann Street, EC1 in the Polling District of Cripplegate without (P) in 1934.

First of all I am interested in what does without (P) mean but also by each member of the family there are brackets with Abode & a completely different address to that of Fann street. I have 5 members of the family all showing as living @ fann street initially but then there are 3 different ABODES...

Can anyone explain what this means  ::)

London and Middlesex / Which District?
« on: Thursday 29 November 12 18:58 GMT (UK)  »
I have a couple of people who have lived in Mile End Old Town for the majority of the Census's. I am struggling to find their deaths. From past experience I would have thought the registration district would have been Stepney but can find nothing that fits. Camberwell district has thrown up a couple of possibilities but I'm not too familiar with the geography of area so I was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to the "next" nearest reg district? I realise they could have moved but were aged 55 & 56 in 1911....... ?
