Occupation Interests / Fly proprietor
« on: Monday 20 August 07 21:33 BST (UK)  »
While looking up GGG Grandfather in the 1846 Bath directory noticed a chap listed a couple of lines lower down whose occupation was "fly-proprietor" ! The mind boggles! Yes, I'll have a packet of blue-bottles please ;D

Any ideas anyone?

Interesting problem. I live around the corner in a boring new house in Tonteg! Don't know anything about your house but have you tried Ponty library for any local history books that might mention it.  Also old maps might give an idea of when it was built. Also have you searched the censes on the address rather than occupants names?

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Spitalfields Burials

Hi Shaun, sorry to but in on this thread but what resources do you have for looking up London burials?  Virtually all my mothers family are from there so it might be worth me coughing up some cash to look for them

No sorry,  their mother was Elizabeth according to the census & the eldest child was born 1831. Elizabeth Turnbull seems the more likely marriage although its after the birth of their first child so I have my doubts

Have only found the one christening on the IGI for the youngest of 5 children. The marriage is in a different church. I live in Wales & this lot lived in London & moved around the parishes so not an easy task!

Well I'm back from my campng trip. Looks like my guess is right & the family didn't register the births. Thanks for all the info on registration though.

Carol, I had spotted the marriage of William Lugg & Elizabeth Turnbull on the IGI but how do I know if its the right one? Now I'm getting beyond census info it's difficult to know as there's a lack of other sources to cross check.  Thanks anyway

Thanks everyone. I'm actually setting off for a weekend's camping this afternoon so won't be back in touch till Sunday.  If you want to have a look for me in the mean time here are their details, according to 1851 census, obviously approximate years of birth.

Eliza Lugg b1839 Clerkenwell
Clara Lugg b 1841 St Lukes
Alice Lugg b 1845 Clerkenwell, according to the IGI she was born 17 June 1844 & christened 21 July  1844


thanks again

Chris
