I would love to see pictures of the huts. Also, can you indicate where they woulod have been on a current Newhaven map?

I know Eunice was in Newquay  in 1881, back in Wickwar, Gloucs in 1882 having Annie Luoisa Ellen, then she seems to be hustled down to Newhaven for a MARRIAGE.  If it was the James Strange from Newhaven 1881, she appears not to have ever lived with him after.

It's that time of the week again and here's this weeks Scavenger Hunt.    I think you'll like this one.

have you found James Strange from Liverpool prior to him being in Newhaven in 1881
he was a a messenger in 1881 so presumably he travelled where the messages took him
maybe to where Eunice was at one point
if you contact Newhaven Museum they will be able to help with the huts photos and possibly PR's from St Michaels etc

As Jaywit said earlier:


If you put James Strange born Liverpool into the cencuses then that 1881 entry is the only one that comes up. The other boarders have Liverpool as a place of birth as well so I think you have to disregard that.
My gut feeling, but it needs some more work, is that it was James Strange snr. she married.
His baptism isn't online, there is a submitted marriage to Elizabeth on Familysearch and my guess is they haven't found his baptism.
James snr. needs to be traced and also what happened to his wife Elizabeth?


I think this James Strange is from Gloucestershire, and may be Reuben's father.

I do need to get him in all the censuses/check my various printouts.

Just a little nugget to add; Familyrelatives.com has put the 1920 Midwives Roll online.

Eunice May STRANGE is there!

Living at 21 Treharne Rd, Cadoxton, Barry.

Date of enrolment: 24 Nov 1904
Qualifications:   In Practice, July 1901

There is a dagger symbol beside her name which I suspect means  that she is no longer practising.

There is no proper description of the database, nor a key, but A lot of people have "In practice, July 1901" when they do NOT have an exam result, so I think the Roll must have started then, and those already working "officially" as midwives would have been allowed on the Register without an exam.

Still, more mysterious than ever, really as she was living in the same road under another name when she was probably working as a midwife!

More information to add to the list...........well done

Eunice Strange nee Perrett, daughter of Ann Pearce of Wickwar.   Ann [Pearce] Perrett was the midwife for Wickwar so probably training came from her.

Eunice Perrett had an earlier "illegitimate" baby on 15th April 1880 named John William Perrett. At the time of the 1881 census he was living in Wickwar with his grandparents John and Ann Perrett.

I am descended from Hester Louisa Perrett
