Hi, Enjoying the discussion about the Prinsep's

I was wondering where can I find Grace's will?

I've done a lot of research into Arthur, as he has certain importance in Australia.

George Roe had a string of children with several teenaged mother, of which Grace was the first.

Grace may not have married Henry, but it appears a long-lasting committed relationship on paper. Henry didn't marry until after Grace died. He could have simply had an official marriage alongside Grace, but he didn't. Their unmarried status is why Arthur and his brothers never appear on Prinsep family trees. And probably why he was likely was schooled in Nottinghamshire (where Ernest went) and not somewhere fancier.

Ernest played soccer for Portsmouth (original club, not the current one) with Arthur Conan Doyle.

Hi,

I have also been researching Arthur Thoby Haversleigh Prinsep, as he has was important figure in early Australian soccer.

Thanks for the information regarding Grace Roe and her husband. From what I have seen George had several "wives".

Grace not divorcing would explain why she never married Henry Thoby Prinsep, and thus never appears on the Prinsep family tree.

As a by-the-by Ernest Charles Prinsep played soccer with Arthur Conan Doyle in Portsmouth. It appears Ernest went to Newark Magnus school in Nottinghamshire, and Arthur presumably did as well as he was in Nottinghamshire as Ernest was finishing his schooling, and was associationed with Newark FC. Sadly the Newark Magnus records were lost in a move of site last century.
