Surrey / Re: Gravestone in Morden, London Borough of Merton

Looking at the original image https://images.findagrave.com/photos/2015/131/146391802_1431468752.jpg, I think the top part reads:
IN
LOVING MEMORY

Graveyards and Gravestones / Re: Blandford War Graves

I looked through the album again and came across a Hilda Louise Davidson who died February 1917 in Blandford! This photo may relate to her? Not sure though!  ???

Deceased on line gives her burial date as 16th February!

If the date and location are correct, a likely candidate subject is the funeral of Private Walter Gray 1st Reserve Bn. RMLI d.27-Jan-1917 Blandford.

Edit:  Link to service record https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/D7817549


Maybe not... according to deceased online Walter was buried 31-Jan-1917

Durham Lookup Requests / Re: Routledge Terrace, Ryhope

I’m left wondering where the area called Cauld Knuckle was. I have found online a  picture of Cauld Knuckle school but not where that was. Maybe all the people who were familiar with the use of the name for an area of Ryhope have died.

I think spelk was referring to Cauld Knuckles at Ryhope  :-\

There is a post here about the school https://flamingnora.blogspot.com/2019/07/a-walk-on-ryhopes-wild-side.html

Following up on that I'd suggest it might have been this school here https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/side-by-side/#zoom=17.3&lat=54.87397&lon=-1.37015&layers=168&right=ESRIWorld

On the r-h map you can see the houses in the modern photo and the track between the houses leading to the school.

I agree....  See https://www.findmypast.co.uk/image-share/4334fa69-5858-4295-8f69-fbab53f29edb

I think it was renamed Hollycarr Terrace in the 1890's.  In 1902 George Cowey lost his dog and gave his address for it's return as 7 Hollycarr Terrace.  In 1891 the family was enumerated at 7 Routledge Terrace.  On the 1895 OS map it appears to be a 25 household terrace matching the earlier find

Silksworth Gate House
1 to 25 Routledge Terrace
1 Hollicarrsides etc

London and Middlesex / Re: Adopted Grandfather - Unknown Birthname Lambeth 1918
« on: Monday 24 February 25 11:40 GMT (UK)  »
...  Proving either was  in the London area in 1965 could be tricky as both married in Wales but after 1965 ...

Pauline could have been in North Wales.  Butlins/Pontins for example...

The Common Room / Re: Ann Stephens (Actress)
« on: Saturday 22 February 25 15:15 GMT (UK)  »
There are a number of shipping manifest entries for her.

She left England from Liverpool on the 'Parthia' on 11 April 1959 heading for New York. Her intention was to remain in the US. She was single, b. 21 May 1931 and gave her UK address as 8 Chepstow Mansions, Bayswater, London. Her occupation is given as Air Hostess. She potentially shows on a crew list for PanAm Airlines in the mid 1950s. One crew list in 1958 shows her as Ann G Stephens, with British nationality.

Monica

That 1958 record is her travelling from Leghorn Italy to New York 1st Class on the SS President Monroe.  Passport 804897 departed 29th May 1958 arrived 9 Jun 1958.  Address 633 15th St, N. W. Wash, DC.

It's the same passport number on the Parthia dep. Liverpool 11 Apr 1959 arr New York 20 Apr 1959 (Again first class).  The Address though difficult to read appears to be App.2633 15th St, N.W. Washington 9.D.C.

2633 looks more likely residential on google streetview.

...I haven't seen Ann Stephens hereself in any of these electoral registers...
Chepstow Mansions was her reported address in 1951 when she appeared in court on a driving charge. Named as Ann Jillian Stephens.

Edit:  She appears in the registers from 1956 to 1959 and is gone in 1960.
