Essex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: claxon/ Chelmsford

Hi Rich,
just thought you could add this to your records, my ggggrandmother was Louisa Steel born 1801 Buckingham (don't know where exactly) , she had a son Henry who always went by her husbands name of Steel, Louisa was about 15 years older than her husband Thomas Steel, but recently someone got in contact with me telling me that she was related to Henry George King (this is in fact as far as we know Henry Steel) on Henry Kings/Steel wedding cert his father was listed as John Claxton.
Why do we think that these 2 men are one and the same, in St Peters & St Pauls Church Yard  Grays Parish, there is apparently a monument which states that Henry George King's mother was Louisa Steel. As far as i know Henry was a baker and lived his life in Grays Essex..
I don't live too far from Essex and the next time we are over there i will make a detour and try to find this monument, it will be nice for my own records...
Happy hunting...
This family tree lark is very time consuming isn't it....

Its still pronounced "Crouches" both the pub and the Lane.. strange how that tradition never left the district, while by your map this area should be called Stroud, not Strood...

I used to work opposite in the old Safeways store and walked past the pub many many times,
yes it was a little run down, used to have its regular customers thou..

Now moved across the road to Morrisons and don't have much call to go to the hight street anymore,
but hopefully the new Netto/Wilkinson will put paid to that soon...

Hello Jean,
I work with a load of girls who remember it all being farms and woods up where we live, would have loved to have seen it then.
Think my aunt and uncle lived here for about 35-40 years, moved out a few years ago..

Hi Jean,
I live Seagull Rd, moved to Strood about 11 years ago, my cousins were all born and bred in "The Shades" I am originally from South London, my nans family were all from Kent, Sellindge, Hythe, Lympne.

Queen..    :)

I think one end of Crutches Lane is in Strood and the other end comes out in Higham, I live near the Crutches pub and have often been down the same lane..
