Elizabeth was born in London
I have been wondering about this one:

CHARLOTTE AVARNE   
Christening:  15 SEP 1778   Saint Andrew, Holborn, London, England
 
Father:  WILLIAM AVARNE 
Mother:  CHARLOTTE

There was a Mrs William Avarne (1749-1826) who was an artist. http://www.artfact.com/catalog/viewLot.cfm?lotCode=zRkksDSh

She was born Charlotte Hemington and was married to the Reverend William Avarne ... I think he was tutor to the Countess of Huntingdon's children... she had an estate on the Isle of Man. All this from snippets on Google Books ... haven't found the full story yet!

Someone to get in touch with?

[ShaunJ]

the daughter of John Averne Minister ... and Charlotte Averne nee Flemington or Remington

Or Hemington perhaps?


Here's another potential contact re the family of Charlotte Avarne, nee Hemington:

Just read your messages Shaun.

Thought I'd thank you straight away and then study them and work on them 
Ir would appear that Joy was right.  It would appear that she went by two names.
Thanks again Joy

Just thought I'd report in 

I finally took Annie's advice - and link - and contacted the Royal College of Surgeons in London. Apparently he did not belong to them.  They seemed certain he belonged to Edinburgh and gave me a link to them.

He was one of theirs but all they had on him was when he 'joined' which they gave me but was the same as Shaun had given earlier - date in 1811, and when he died which I already had from the DC.   No clues there then.

I've been given a link by Frances on the Isle of Man board which I have not yet picked up.    Seems my brick wall is still standing

Hi Reiver,

Just been checking previous posts, and would like to point out Elizabeth was not in the 1861 census. John Caird was a widower and he had 2 servants. I checked 19th Century British Newspapers for obituary and all I got was notice of death giving 27 Montague Street, and nothing else really.

Thanks Tom
You are quite right.
Wife Elizabeth was only there in 1851 - born in London.  In what I've seen so far including his Will there is no sign of an Elizabeth - only Charlotte.

Frances gave me a a link to an Isle of Man board and a link to the Manx Museum who apparently have a card index for that period.

I've now used both links and will let you know what transpires.

Regards
Reiver
