London and Middlesex / John Cundell - Buried St Lukes 1839
« on: Saturday 05 November 11 02:48 GMT (UK)  »
My 4th gt-grandfather John Cundell is proving elusive.
Born in 1796 in Scruton Yorkshire he was married in Sculcoates, but ended up living in George Yard, Whitechapel in 1827 where my 3rd gt-grandfather William was born.

I have been unable to find any entry for John Cundell in any census 1841 onwards.
I know that John was dead by 1866, because in his brother Daniel's will he is referred to as 'my late brother'.

On his son William's marriage certificate in 1850, William lists his father as a Wine & Spirit Merchant. Interestingly he doesn't show him as deceased, but there is a death listed in March 1839 ...

Cundell John St Luke 2 210 (Middlesex/london)

St Luke is only a couple of miles from Whitechapel, where John was living in 1827.

I wonder if anyone is able to find any further information about this John Cundell's death .. perhaps a birthdate / birthplace, or next of kin. ANYTHING would perhaps give me a link or a lead to be able to confirm or disregard this John as my ancestor.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Paul

Yorkshire (West Riding) Completed Requests / Re: Stonefall, Harrogate look-up request

Very grateful, thanks Gragareth.

I managed to get to Stonefall a few years ago, but didn't have this information, and the office was closed. Being in the USA, it's a bit far to go for another look. :)

Cheers ... Paul

Gragareth ..

yes, I'd really like to know if there are any gravestones for these plots and what inscriptions may be there. Photos would be a bonus, but any information would be gratefully received.

Cheers ... Paul

Census and Resource Discussion / Re: News about IGI

A new website appears to have been launched - seems to be the same records as on the pilot site but presented differently:
http://fsbeta.familysearch.org

Just had a look and the first query I entered returned my 3rd gt-grandfather as a 13 yr old girl in 1841 !!

Going back to the submissions on the IGI .. I had my family on a website - over 2000 entries. Some person who shall remain nameless took all my information and not only put it on THEIR website, but also submitted my ancestors to the IGI, obviously without the sources and proof that I had spent years and $$ researching.
Now when I go to the IGI looking for any possible new entries etc., I always get these damn submissions ... yes, I'm annoyed !!

cheers ... Paul

All I can suggest is you check the 1901 census for the house they lived in. If you can get the number of households from the nearest cross street on the census, you could count the houses on the Google streetview and get a better idea of which house it may be.

Hi Neil ..

yep, there's a whole site on the Timothy Hackworth Museum, but no email or contact link that I could find.

Maybe I missed it.

Occupation Interests / Railway - Shildon Station Master
« on: Tuesday 27 April 10 14:48 BST (UK)  »
I have a distant cousin, Christopher Churchman, who was Station Master in Shildon on the 1901 census.

His address was shown as 4 Soho Cottages, which I believe is now a railway museum.

As a station master, would there be any record archives, rogues gallery photos etc?

Any leads appreciated.

cheers ... Paul
