That’s strange 🤔 Exactly the same as the married woman listed below her...

Have just checked the 1939 Register and agree that it looks to be her 😊

Wow! A huge thank you Rosie 💐 I didn’t find her on the 1939 register, but will now find the entry and did not anticipate her reaching such a grand age, she was fortunate to have survived her childhood.
I’m really grateful to you for all your help, it is so appreciated.

I have just had another look, it was a boarding house & she lived on her own account.
The address was 37 Holywell Hill, St Albans.

Thank you for your reply Rosie. I have a copy of the transcript, but it does not show her occupation or the head of house.

Hertfordshire / Lucy Reeves neé Slade
« on: Tuesday 26 April 22 16:46 BST (UK)  »
Lucy Slade was born in 1854 at Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, she married Henry How in 1874 at Watford, she was widowed in 1876 & then married Francis John Reeves in 1877 at Watford, she was widowed in 1901.
Lucy & Francis had two sons, Francis J Reeves 1887 & John Reeves 1894.
I have found her in the 1921 census as a lodger living in St Albans, but cannot find a marriage or a record of her death, also optimistically checked the 1939 register without any success.
Would welcome any suggestions, before I accept that she’s vanished!

Dorset / Re: Tarrant Gunville manorial records

Hi Sue, thank you for your reply and further information. I will have a search to see if I can find the link to some of the names mentioned...there is sure to be a marriage in there somewhere!

I do know the link with the Martin/Martyns: Roger Cheverell’s, (1476) sister Christiana, (1487) married Thomas Martin of Athelhampton, (1510) & became Lady Christiana Martin.
Thomas Martin was the son of  William Martin, Knight, of Athelhampton, (1446) he was Lord Mayor of London in 1492.

The Russell’s mentioned in Babel are also connected by marriage: Walter Cheverell (1415-1481) married Christian Russell, who was the sister of James Russell.

Will get back to you if I find anything else that may be of interest to you.

Sandie.

I am related to the Cheverell’s of Dorset and noticed the Newburgh surname mentioned in the following paragraph, doubtless it is not new to you!

John Chauntmarle, son and heir of Walter, left two daughters co-heirs, of whom Joan married John Cheverell, and Christian married John Jurdon. By charter dated on Monday next after the feast of Pentecost, 15 Hen. VI., Christian, who had been the wife of John Jurdon, granted to John Newburgh junior, William Hayne rector of Bradeford, Philip Leweston, and William Combe, all her lands, rents, pensions and services, with appurtenances, in Estoke juxta Bynedon, Chauntemarle, Blaneford, Stokehyde, and Pympern. John Jurdon and John Cheverell presented to the church of East Stoke, as lords of the manor, 1412, 13 Hen. VI. and John Cheverel and Christian late wife of John Jurdon deceased presented in 1434, 12. Hen VI. John Cheverel and John Jurdon, son and heir of Christian wife of John Jurdon deceased, presented to the same church in 1439, 17 Hen. VI. 6 Hen. VI. John Cheverell and Thomas Worth held in severance the fourth part of a knight’s fee in Stoke St. Andrew’s and Bellhuyssh, which William Stoke formerly held. 18 Hen. VI. John, son and heir of John Jordan, granted to John Wills and others, all his lands in Stoke, Bestwall near Wareham, &c.

Somerset Lookup Requests / Re: Cotford, Bishops Lydeard Parish Registers - REASON
« on: Tuesday 10 December 19 08:34 GMT (UK)  »
Hello Alan,

Thank you so much for your detailed reply, it is very much appreciated.

Florence Dulcie is my grandmother and Henry & Minnie my great grandparents. I have managed to trace both sides of my mother’s family back several generations, which I really should be happy with, but there is an enduring question as to who was my mother’s father. It’s likely that the information is not available, although I’m considering DNA.

Somerset Family History Society is a good suggestion and I will contact them.

Thank you again for your help and advice.
Sandie.
