London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Strutt COMPLETED
« on: Wednesday 02 December 09 19:00 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,
I have Joseph Strutt, son, as a gilder. Joseph, bookbinder, was alive in 1851 census but in 1861 census, Jane is a widow, aged 55, and Joseph, my gg grandfather, is a gilder by now. In 1881 census, Jane is  a pauper, a bookbinder's widow, aged 75, living in "Infirmary of the Whitechapel Union, Bakers Row, Mile End Old Town, Middlesex. Had a job finding Joseph the gilder in 1881 census but they are named under Strute.
I found this info. and don't know if it refers to my lot -
 Exeter Working Papers in Book History
STRUTT, Joseph, bookbinder, 20 Little Queen Street, Lincoln's Inn Fields, 1799. It wouldn't be Joseph, father of James and Joseph, as he seemed to be born around 1800. His father??

My great grandmother was Ada Strutt. Her parents were Joseph Strutt and Charlotte Heartfree and I believe Joseph's father was Joseph Strutt, the bookbinder. I haven't much link to that side of my family but I do remember meeting Ada for the one and only time when she was very old in a nursing home somewhere in London in 1971.

Sorry - Lachlan McBain was a tailor, not a shoemaker - ignore that bit in my last post!

Hi,
I'm also descended from McBains of Alvie - my gggg grandparents were Donald McBain and Elspet McIntyre. One of their sons was Lachlan McBain, shoemaker (see MIs in Alvie Churchyard) born around 1780 (died 1857) and married to Margaret McIntosh (died 1869 in Meadowside, Alvie). They lived in Coillintuie. His son, Farquhar McBain lived in Kincraig House (don't think he owned it) and built what is now Suie Hotel in Kincraig - he would be a distant uncle. There is a picture of him on the staircase in the hotel. Another son of Lachlan, was Donald, born 1823, my gg grandfather, who is not on gravestone. He was a shepherd and moved downriver to Rothes where my grandfather, Charles Rhind, was born (son of Jessie McBain and Charles Rhind)
