Please see correction to original post.
Thanks for response . I'm not really sure what I might discover, if anything its just one of those old family stories which sadly there is probably no way to check.
Interestingly Ethel moved from the pub in Harwich to Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese in Fleet Street where we think she met my grandfather in 1913/14.

Ethel (1882-1973) was my maternal grandmother she married William Mereweather in 1915.
In the 1911 census she was listed as a barmaid in The Anchor a pub in Harwich (Essex).
Why she went there I guess we will never know, however, a bit of family gossip suggests that there may have been a "liaison" with a famous nautical figure!
I've never been able to find anything, before I give up I just thought I'd post..

CORRECTION
I've just been told that I've got the pub & location wrong. Apparently it was some years earlier and it should have been The Weymouth Hotel in Weymouth.

Thanks for that, none of those names mean anything at the moment.

Also in the archive was a document "Bond of Edwin Camillo Oppenheim formerly Gustavo to Grace Blandy then of Birchamp Gloucs in the sum of 10,000lire to be paid within 3 years"

I'm definately going to have to make another visit and look at the items in detail.

Thanks for all your help.
Although I didn't photograph the document at the archives the description of the item says "Papers from administration of the estate of Grace Ellen Frederica Blandy decd, late of 40 Greycoat Gardens, spinster who died 12th Nov 1918. Capt Mark Kerr of Fairy Cross, Seaford, Sussex, a cousin of the decd and a trustee of her will (probate 24 Jan 1919) was responsible for payment of an annuity to Lucy Harby which reverted to the residual estate upom death of Lucy Harby on 21 Oct 1924."
So if he is a first cousin I guess I have to go through all female siblings of Graces parents and find one who married a Kerr. Does that sound right?
Thanks again.

England / Grace Ellen Frederika Blandy/Hedges & Butler
« on: Sunday 11 February 24 17:41 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
At the Westminster archive in the Hedges & Butler archive are some papers from the administration of the estate of Grace Ellen Frederika Blandy
(d1918)
One of her trustees is listed as Capt.Mark Kerr.
The Blandy's were and are major wine producers in Madeira. Hedges & Butler were significant wine merchants in London. I wanted to see if there might have been a marital or financial link, basically a reason why the papers are in the archive.
Any help appreciated.
If I have posted in the wrong area please do let me know.

Thanks for all that. I checked the Newspaper archives last night and noticed the wedding in the Belfast Telegraph.

I want to try and bring this line up to date so I need to somehow check whether Beverley had any children and indeed if any whether they had any!

I will have a look at the Joseph's sister route as well. It seems when they moved to Belfast they lost contact with the rest of the family.

I did notice that a Victor Nye (possibly Stella's first husband) died in 1939 which would account for why he seemed to have not appeared on the 1939 Register.

Sorry I should have mentioned that i had both marriages and the birth of Beverley.
Beyond that I cannot find anything for Stella or Beverley which are what I am interested in.
Thanks

I'm struggling to find any trace of Stella & her 2nd husband Joseph Dehoney .
She appears on the 1939 register with the following line blacked out. This was probably the entry for her daughter Beverley from her first marriage to Victor Nye.
After this I cannot seem to trace any of them at all.
I believe there is a possibility that they moved to Belfast possibly for Joseph to work at Shipbuilders Harland & Wolf but this is by no means certain.
Grateful for any pointers.
Bob
