The Common Room / Re: One for the experts
« on: Wednesday 29 July 15 01:13 BST (UK) »Jemuel Charles Weedon was baptised at Basingstoke, 22 Sep 1875, son of Henry & Sarah Ann.
Matches what I have, Samuel Charles Weedon b Q3 1874 Winchester, Hants
1881 census Samuel C Weedon aged 7 b Winchester son of Henry & Sarah Ann
1891 census Samuel C Weedon aged 17 b Winchster son of Henry & Sarah Ann
1899 July marriage to Ada Elizabeth King
1901 census Charles Weedon aged 27 b Winchester wife of Ada
(1911 census Charles Weedon aged 38 b Winchester wife of Ada)
The Charles Weedon who is stepson of Ruth, was born Q1 1873 St Saviour, Southwark son of Henry & Rachel Weedon
Still doesn't explain why Charles is crossed out in 1911 though !

The census was taken on the night of Sunday 2nd April, and the forms were given to the households a few days prior to that date. So maybe Charles simply filled it in and signed it assuming that he would be there and then wasn't, so someone (his wife or the enumerator ?) crossed him out before the form was picked up.
The other Charles Weedon, stepson to Ruth, was single and born in London, this Charles was married to Ada and born in Winchester so are they likely to be the same person ?

Dorset / Re: Lulworth Cove, O'GORMAN photos?
« on: Sunday 26 July 15 22:00 BST (UK) »Welcome justareply. good photograph have you any photos of the steps in the garden. I believe I have photo of christina's grandmother on her mother's side in this link
http://www.gogmsite.net/early_victorian_-_1837_-_18/1861-20-july-baroness-radst.html
That is a lovley photo of Christinas maternal grandmother. She was born Susan Charlottle Calcraft at Rempstone Hall in 1833, and baptised in the parish of Corfe Castle on 8th November of that year. She married Granville Augustus William Waldegrave, 3rd Baron Radstock in London on 16th June 1858 and thus became Baroness Radstock. They had 9 children, of which the youngest was Mary, Christinas mother.
It is a fascinating family....I've just ordered a book called 'The Calcrafts of Rempstone' which I'm looking forward to reading

Excellent to have confirmation, thank you justareply ! You are correct about the original image being published (numerous times !) the wrong way round. The correct orientation is with Christina on the left, pond on the right (as attached). It is often difficult with Autochrome images to determine the correct orientation, unless there is something obvious like writing !
I was convinced, as were most people, it was Rempstone Hall, but couldn't find a way to confirm it so thanks again for letting us know, and helping put one of the final 'mysteries' to rest

In the 1901 census there is a John James b Tipton born abt 1875 living in Tipton, 20 Hock St, with his wife Martha and 3 children. Marriage John James and Martha Wilde, Dudley RD, Q3 1896.
If this is Edward and Sarahs son, they are not with him ...

Past100, it was quite an adventure trying to find out who Christina was, and odd to think people around the world being bought together due to 102 year old grains of dyed potato starch !
The b&w print of the girl in the jumper was captioned by O'Gorman as being Christina, and if you flip either of the portraits on the horizontal then the facial features match up quite well.
All the best, and welcome to rootschat

The Lighter Side / Re: Maiden names on Death certs
« on: Saturday 18 July 15 20:57 BST (UK) »
Hi Jan57 ... A long shot, but first born sons were often named after the mothers father, so its possible Janes father was called Edward. Ok you still don't know the maiden name, but as you look through births and marriages, it might give you some to concentrate on, and eliminate, first.
Also if you do come across any baptism records for the children, a maiden name is sometimes incorporated into a childs name. I once found an ancestor that way, so something to bear in mind
