London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Completed thank you. Please a burial look up

OK here goes, another nugget gleaned from the Broadmoor records - Lucille Dudley also used the name Dorigne. You may have already found that Lucille Marguerite was registered in 1879 as Lucille Marguerite Dorigne.  Do you have access to Ancestry.co.uk?  I have set up a Dudley family tree there which you a very welcome to see.

Hi!
Actually I registered a while back but just never posted anything!  Hopefully this will count as another post/reply and we can communicate.  Since writing my previous post I have got out my papers on Lucille (I hadn't looked at them for a while) including a long newspaper report entitled "The Antecedents of Miss Dudley" which tells a fascinating story.  In the article there is a mention of a tomb erected to her daughter which cost £50 with "a great marble cross set up, its pedestal being covered with hymns engraved entire in leaden lettering" Sounds quite a sight!!

Hi Ann
I picked up your request about Lucille Marguerite Dudley on a general search and it jumped out at me.  I am in the middle of my MA at the moment and I am doing research on women in Broadmoor.  I have come across Lucille Dudley the mother and I have a lot of information on her.  She is not actually relevant to the my research (which is on women who murdered their children) but her story grabbed me and I've been looking into it as a side research project.  I have photographic copies of her Home Office file from the National Archive which is huge although I can't get access to her Broadmoor file as there are different rules about opening those files (HO after 50 years, Broadmoor 100 years after the person's death).  I have done a lot of research into her family background too and she really did have an unbelievable life - almost Dickensian certainly it reads almost like a novel!  Coming back to your request about her daughter's grave - I thought that the little girl was buried at St Pancras Parish Church.  I'm not sure where I picked that information up from so I will go back through the myriads of paper that I have and check it out.  It may well have been from a newspaper article and we all know how reliable they are!
