Hi Hughmar, for some reason I missed your replies on this thread and have only just caught up with the good work you have done. Do you have a personal interest in F J CLowes? My interest is really the first wife but she was hard to track so I was going sideways. Thanks for your help.

Hi Kay

I've looked up the notes I have written by his grandson and the date of death is 30th August 1823. I've not ever checked for his death though and only have these details to go by. They were a Catholic family and the childrens' baptisms were recorded at Harvington Hall. Anyway any help will be gratefully received. Thank you once again.

That is a really kind offer, Kay. Thank you very much. Would it be too much to ask you to look out for the Will of Thomas Green as well. Thomas was was William Wade's partner for some time. I need to check his death date but I think it is 1823/24.

I'll check my notes when I get home.

Thank you once again.

Thank you so much, Ciderdrinker. I know Thomas Green died about 1823/4 so presumably the partnership with James was dissolved when Thomas 'retired'. I'm not very sure how you go about searching for wills. Is there an online register or do you have to contact the Worcester archives. Sorry to be a bit dense but I'm in New Zealand and haven't had experience with wills before.

Thanks

The Common Room / Two Marriages
« on: Tuesday 07 May 13 06:10 BST (UK)  »
I have just received two certificates for marriages for the same people two years apart. At least I think they are the same people. The husband is Edward William Wilbraham Griffiths Houseal and the two wives are Maria Vicq de Villenoxe (first marriage dated 25th June 1864) and Maria Vick (2nd marriage dated 12th December 1866). EWWG Houseal is described as a widower for both marriages, which he is, as his first wife Mary died Mar 1864 Holborn, Maria is described as a widow in the first marriage and as a spinster in the second.

I'm sure they are the same people but can anybody think of a good reason why they should marry twice?

I have been doing a little research about Catholics in Stourbridge about 1800 and this man's name has come up together with a reference to his will. Can anybody help me find out a little more about him and maybe when he died? I'd like to find a copy of the will if at all possible. The name of the business was Wade and Green.

Hi Glen

I've just spotted your post because I was searching for Plunket. I was amazed to find my grandfather Felix George Plunket was married to Edith as actually he married Louise Lane in 1903, and had eight children of whom my father was the youngest. They never divorced and he died in 1961. I think somewhere there is a mistake.

Can anybody help find out what happened to this man after his marriage in 1892. He was born in East Retford in Mar 1868 and is recorded as a medical student on the 1881 census but I can't seem to find any trace of him after the marriage.

Any help would be gratefully received :)

Hi Sue

Sorry about the delay in replying to you, somehow I missed your reply

I did have copies but they are on the hard drive of a slightly dead computer. I know I got them from British newspapers on line and I will try and get them again.

Can I ask what your connection to the Houseals is?

Thanks

Hilary
