Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Strange beginning to a baptism entry
« on: Today at 04:14 »
I think it means - Received, Private Baptism. William was previously privately baptised, and was now received into the Church. (Happy to be corrected if I am wrong!)

For interest, in 1910 Ernest Clifton CRICK registered a photographic enlargement business in Sydney.

An advertisement from 1911:

"CANVASSERS (50) - the Sydney Enlarging Company require the services of ladies and gentlemen of good address and appearance. Apply after 9 a.m., 14 Castlereagh-street, City."

London and Middlesex / Re: Mile End Old Town and Marylebone register offices
« on: Yesterday at 05:18 »
Another newspaper item says "Bancroft-road, Mile End - road registry office". So in this general location.

I might be completely wrong (not unusual), but could the Mile End Registry Office have been at Vestry Hall?

Doesn't help much - a newspaper item refers to "Registry -office Mile-end-road" in 1870. Have looked at old maps but can't see it labelled.

I agree that the 1916 death looks most promising.

There is an Alfred JEWSON, 47, born Kings Lynn in 77 Duncan Buildings Holborn in 1901, with wife Mary (38) and a number of step children and younger children. He is a general labourer though.  :-\

Alfred JEWSON at 37 Albert Rd Peckham is with wife Christiana in 1891. So yes, he is the wrong one.

May I ask whether his name is Arthur Edgar, or Alfred Edgar? You mention both.

Also, welcome to RootsChat.  :)
